Proposal: Good ole Canadian 3 way Leafs-Oilers-Canucks

[Deadly Dogma]

With Edmonton's goaltending woes I wonder if Mrazek has any value to the Oilers?
If so that piece or pieces is most likely going to be part of a deal to acquire Miller.
IIRC a few Vancouver fans were ok with 2022 1st+Amirov+2022 2nd+Ritche for Miller@50%
I would like to lessen the Leaf assets as much as possible by seeing if the Oilers are willing to move an asset that Vancouver fans are interested in.

You should be able to get a 2nd for a good back up goalie.

 

[CanadianSniper]

I don't see why the Oilers would want Mrazek. They already have questionable goaltending, Mrazek only makes it more questionable. The only place Mrazek has looked good so far is in Carolina, but Carolina's system regularly makes below average -average goalies look like studs. Oilers should be looking at Fleury, or a bigger move on someone like Gibson.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I thought a Canadian 3 way was 2 hunting buddies and a stray arcott

 

[thadd]

We're fine for this year.
Skinner has been a stud with Smith being injured and Kos has played much better hockey this year.

 

[Leaf Fans]

WE don't know what we have in Mrazek. I am sure a few Vancouver fans were Ok with 2022 1st+Amirov+2022 2nd+Ritche for Miller@50%, I don't think many Leaf fans would want to overpay to that extent for Miller.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Mrazek is no better than what Edmonton has.

No way. leave Miller in Vancouver at that price. That is insane. Wtf.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Oilers should have traded for Markstrom.

Miller @ 2.625 mil cap for this year and next is something worth overpaying for. I’d personally add more to get it done if needed.

Miller is a perfect fit on the top line, and let’s Bunting slide down to where he should be playing in the lineup.

 

[Soundwave]

I don't think Mrazek is an upgrade over Koskinen, they will be more interested in a guy with proven playoff pedigree like MAF.

 

[T_Cage]

We already have enough meh wingers, we aren’t giving away arguably our best prospect and completely emptying the almost-bare pick cupboard just to help Vancouver’s rebuild

Sure, I wouldn't massively overpay like that. I don't think Miller is a good a player as you think and I don't think he would be on the top line.

Yeah nothing worse than a top line, PPG, power forward on a great contract, who brings the emotion and will the leafs obviously are missing in the playoffs every year. Hahahahah
Who needs that?
Definitely not the leafs who love to play soft, uninspiring, choke artist hockey in the playoffs……

Not a question of not wanting Miller, simply a matter of not wanting to throw such a ridiculous haul of assets towards such an endeavour. If the Leafs are trading for Miller at 50%, think along the lines of:

Select One: Kerfoot or Ritchie
Select One: 2022 1st Round Pick, Rodion Amirov, Nick Robertson, Topi Niemla
Select Two: 2023 2nd Round Pick (send back Winnipeg's 2022 3rd), Abramov, SDA, Kokkonen, Abrusezze, Steeves, Dermott (send back Schenn)

Pass. Mrazek isn’t an upgrade on what we have. We don’t need another fringe starter. We need a legit top 15 goalie, or we’re better off running Smith/Skinner next year

Oilers should have traded for Markstrom.

We tried in free agency. Calgary upped the offer to a point we didn’t have the capspace to match

 

[TheNumber4]

Mrazek is mediocre and often injured. If we thought he was a definite upgrade we would have been in on him when he only cost money in UFA.

 

[Syckle78]

Reminder that holland let Mrazek go for nothing and he had a bad rep within the organization during Hollands tenure in Detroit.

Hence trading for him.

Edmontons goaltending is definitely not a strength but “woes” is strong if you look at team stats over the past couple years. If the Oilers have woes, then so does half the league.
Mrazek does not solve the issue… it’s just shuffling the deck. Same issues.

Meh winger!?? JT Miller? Lmao watch a hockey game for once in your life

 

[Northernhawk]

Didn’t even have to read this ost to know it’s include Mrazek to Edmonton, Oilers have their ‘it goalie’ like Woll in Toronto…Skinner

 

[BudBundy]

Oilers goalie stats don’t exactly scream “OMG we need Mrazek!!”
Koskinen:

GP	W	L	OT	GAA	SV%
13	11	2	0	2.89	.912

[TBODY] [/TBODY]
[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Skinner:

GP	W	L	OT	GAA	SV%
6	2	3	0	2.44	.928

What? The Leafs would like a player like that - every team would. What they would want and no team wants is to massively overpay for JT Miller a player who is neither of those things.

 

[JarvisFunk]

Hence trading for him.

And what? Calgary is going to trade a Vezina candidate to their biggest positional and geographical rival to be nice?
