Proposal: Chris Driedger

[wraparound]

Seattle’s goaltending situation is leaving a lot to be desired. despite that, GMRF has made it clear that they’re committed to Grubauer & that he’s their guy.

next season Joey Daccord will be waiver eligible, and I don’t think they want to risk losing him to waivers, which makes Driedger seem to be the odd man out, so I’m wondering what it would take to acquire him. goalie value is hard to pin down, so I’m curious what y’all think!

I'd take him on the Pens, would be a way better option over DeSmith. What would he cost the Pens at 1M retention? so 2.5M AAV.

Yamamoto + 2nd + Koskinen

I don't know, it would be pretty unheard of for an expansion franchise to just trade away the guy they targeted to be an important part of their team.

seattle takes this imo

I think this is an overpay and Seattle would definitely take this for their sub .900 goalie. Edmonton could probably get him cheaper.

The guys in the room would be pretty torn up if they moved a guy who has been such a big reason for what they've accomplished so far

Seattle goalies are hard to evaluate, their stats are terrible but it might also be a team problem

Maybe we try and grab Appleton in the deal

That’s why Seattle says yeah

The goalies have been bad, especially Grubauer, but, believe me, it is definitely a team problem. Even when the Kraken was leading or close to leading the league in fewest shots allowed per game, other teams were capitalizing on the chances they did get because of poor team defense and questionable coaching strategy.

Owen Tippett or Frank Vatrano

Yamamoto + 2nd + Koskinen

I feel like Koskinen alone might get it done. Not sure if that's a smart move for EDM, though.

what about if they added Appleton?

Not sure if I’m overrating Dreidger but he looked good in Florida

@ 2.5M for 3rd/2nd 22? Calgary

Vegas should trade for Driedger. He's got a cheap contract, maybe something around Dadonov and Brossoit for Driedger?
