Kings, Canucks express interest in Huet

Share

Former Blackhawks goalie Cristobal Huet, 36, made it known last week he had an interest in returning to the NHL. Now, at least two teams have an interest in signing him.

Kevin Woodley of Goal Magazine notes that Huet told French news outlet L'Equipe that he's had contract talks with the Vancouver Canucks and Los Angeles Kings.

Huet last played in the NHL in 2009-10 when he started 46 games, going 26-14 with a 2.50 goals-against average, .895 save percentage and four shutouts while losing his starting job to Antti Niemi towards the end of the regular season and the Blackhawks run to the Stanley Cup championship.

Huet spent the last two years playing in Switzerland, where he put up a 1.99 GAA and .932 save percentage and the four-year, 22.5 million deal he signed with the Blackhawks expired.

Where do you think Huet will sign? Any interest in the Blackhawks bringing him back?
