Value of: A Legitimate Starting Goalie to Edmonton, Who's Available?

I think the stress and pressure oiler fan feel will only get worse over the next 3 games. TB, Florida and Canes

Gibson is coming guy...

what, are you peaking in his window?

What a completely original thread

 

[Jumptheshark]

My sources are saying Binnington

Mine say Both Ken Dryden and Dom Hasek have been cloned and they will be joining the oilers shortly

Trotz has ruined the future of Preds.
Added what they didn't really need and gave away the future core.

Are you talking about Parssinen, Tomasino and Fabbro? Hardly a future core.

Judging by the Oiler board, the only players they are willing to move are Evander Kane, Jeff Skinner, Stew Skinner, Victor Arvedsson, Adam Henrique and Brett Kuluk. So pretty much the oilers are not willing to move anything of value. Unless they put one of Bouchard, Hyman, or or one of the duo up? They are not getting a legit number one goalie till McDavid and Leon are in the Hall of fame

Jeff Skinner can't be moved.

Gibson is the guy that to me makes the most scary in a playoff series. He’s playing great this year but more importantly - I think he’d come into that locker room with the right balance of vocal veteran leadership and a chip on his shoulder wanting to prove something after years in the abyss.

It seems crazy but the guy is still only 31…if you make it worthwhile for the Ducks to retain, you could have your solution for the next 3 playoff runs at a very reasonable cap hit, seeing some of the new goalie numbers coming out this year.

Gibson just has the potential to make the Oilers much more intimidating to against in a best-of seven.

Barring injures he's the best goalie on the market that oilers can afford.

He also reminds me of Price in sense of season is lost, he's not gonna care that much. But I imagine a trade to EDM would light a fire on his ass and he'd look way better.

Oilers gotta do it. Gibson is the answer

At this point any legit goalie that Edmonton gets is going to require an overpay. What do you think that means in terms of assets needed to acquire Gibson?

A week ago you would have been blasted for even suggesting Binngton, but he might be a good target. Depends on if St. Louis management sees this year as a quick re-tool, and if he is part of the plan to be a playoff team again next year.


I think we've seen how poorly the "Georgiev as #1" thing goes. We're looking for an upgrade. Skinner has his warts for sure, but I don't think Georgiev is an improvement.

Sorry. I forgot to include the sarcasm emoji lol

Akey, Savoie and O'Reilly are not available in trade.

The Oilers management would likely view Skinner as still our future starter.

It means that Mr Positive is likely to be disappointed if Edmonton really wants Gibson...
