Jaroslav Halak, the experienced goaltender, is set to play for HC Slovan Bratislava in the Slovak Extraliga. He hasn't finalized the contract yet but plans to decide by the end of the month.
At 38 years old, Halak was seeking an NHL contract this season to reach 300 career wins. Despite a tryout with the Carolina Hurricanes, he didn't secure a deal. Now, he's returning home to pursue his career, at least for now.
