Proposal: EDM Issues #1 Goalie options

[spaghtti]

5th not enuf

he now commands 2nd-ish level, +/-, w/w'o retention

I agree on 5th or 6th prior to him clearly showing obv good track record as a starter w/regular work.
If he did not have that, he would be worth a 1st+

In no case ever has such a small sample size ever increased a player’s value that much, and you are just showing more examples of why your offers are so bad

If the Isles are sellers this year, Varlamov and Pageau would be huge additions to the Oilers.

Considering that Swayman has clearly outplayed Ullmark, and with Rask likely to come back to Boston - why not swing a trade for Ullmark? I don't think he has any trade protection.

Ulmark has a NMC.

TIL. Good for him.

JGP is highly unlikely to be moved. As for Varlamov, the Islanders needs are highly skilled offensive prospects or a quality middle pairing defenseman to fill the Nick Leddy void. Koskinen and a pick is not an appropriate return.

My guess is the Oilers would have to offer Yamo and Broberg to start. JGP would excel in the bottom 6 in Edmonton. He's exactly what the Oilers need in their bottom 6.

If Oilers want Price at 50% retained and take Koskinen back, I would ask for Bourgault or Holloway + Broberg.

I’m personally not interested in Price at all , he hasn’t played at all this season not worth the risk

I feel like Oiler will have to give up a 1st and Broberg for MAF or Price.

JGP being traded would leave too much of a massive hole for the Islanders going forward and not worth it for the return unless it was a massive overpayment and an upgrade to the current roster in addition to the prospect. Trading Pageau is going 6 steps back to take a small one forward when it comes to the Islanders, not worth it in the end.

They will never give up either for those players.

 

[Seras]

Wouldn't touch price even at 50%, too much cap cap hit at 50%, too many years left and hasn't even played this year due to issues, moving from his home could also effect him negatively

Yamo sure... Broberg is a no....nadda....not happening

Isles don’t really need an undersized winger unless that winger is proven and can score 30+ consistently. More projects really don’t help. I also didn’t bring up Broberg but the Islanders have quite a bit of young defenseman (including prospect) when it comes to Dobson, Salo, Bolduc, Wilde, Hutton. I’d rather get a forward in return to help rebuild the stockpile that basically consists of Doufur, Raty, Holmstrom and Wahlstrom.

Price. Quick or Fleury will all cost a premium

 

[featherhawk]

MAF to the rescue, the hawks can retain alot on the expiring contract but its gonna cost ya

 

[GOilers88]

So would Price though, because MTL would have to retain half for five years for Edmonton to even make it work.

Honestly I have no interest in Price just due to him not playing this year and the uncertainty of how he plays whenever he does come back. I'd be okay with MAF if they could snag Kubalik with him.

I mentioned nobody good is gonna be cheap, but some still had to take a pot shot

Three goaltenders at the very end of their careers. Out of those choices the Oilers should only consider MAF and at 50%. If not him at that number they should pursue a lower tier goalie. Everyone on here think the Oilers MUST pay through the nose for every player no matter what the position. Until the conversation turns to their own team, then no way players cost so much.

The issue I see is the goalie list that could shake loose is all old or playing shitty with lots of term. I would love to solve the goalie issue, but all of the possible solutions have warts. We can pay a heavy price for a cheap one year solution like MAF or Quick who are both ancient. The issue is we already have the dinosaur goalie slot filled with Smith. We can bite the bullet and take a chance on Price for a heavy cost in cap and assets. We can trade for a struggling goalie with term that teams are willing to cut ties with like Ullmark, Grubauer, or Mrazek for a lesser asset cost due to shitty play. we can ignore the issue for the rest of the year and ride what we have and bleed out another year of Mcdavid and Draisatl's contracts.

The choices are terrible anyway you look at it. Of all the talk i have seen in this thread I like the idea of scooping Ulmark if the Bruins sign Rask. I guess the question is how much BOS has to pay to get rid of that horrible contract!

to Edmonton: MAF @50% retention (3.5 mil), Dylan Strome @ 50% retention ( 1.5mil), Dominic Kubalik (3.7mil) =8.7 mil additional cap
to Chicago-Koskinen ( 4.5mil), Kyle Turris (1.65mil), Warren Foegele ( 2.75 mil), Dylan Holloway and Edmonton 2022 2nd rd pick =8.9 mil additional cap

haha, not even close, we dont want Turris or koskinen, we already had Foegele and did not want him so no this is a complete NO from the hawks perspective, its laughable

Price at 50% has value but when was the last time a goalie on an expiring contract that was traded at the deadline got back a return like that?
