Speculation: Marek/Friedman- Edmonton 2nd and 3rd round picks for Korpisalo is being discussed

[Omar]

Holland will trade for Price in the off-season in a 3 way trade. He’s too desperate not to.

 

[CycloneSweep]

You mean Columbus is offering Edmonton a second and a third to take Korpisalo? Dude would be Edmontons 4th best goalie.

 

[McJedi]

Big overpay for a non good goalie.

 

[TFHockey]

Edmonton should go for Georgiev from Rangers...

You know what? Maybe he should.

 

[Face Of Bear]

Oilers need a #1 G and two top pairing Dmen to be competitive. It ain't happening this year.

 

[Sniped90]

Marek show.

Marek and Friedman mentioned that Edmonton may have said no to this offer a bit ago but if circling back now as they are reporting that Holland is under immense pressure from ownership to make playoffs.

Official offer reported by Marek and Friedman

To Edmonton
Korpisalo

To CBJ
2nd rnd pick
3rd round pick

Friedman added that perhaps the new conversation is a pick and a prospect instead of 2 picks.

It is definitely not being discussed. It was said holland essentially laughed while hanging up the phone.

Don't think it makes sense at that price. Wouldn't be surprised to see Korpi in EDM though.

 

[LTIR]

Korpi in EDM makes sense but not at that cost . Straight up Koskinen perhaps.

Coilers should have drafted Jesper Wallstedt last year, having a sub 2.00gaa in the SHL this season

 

[Cowumbus]

Korpisalo is a little underrated here, but I would be fine with just a 3rd rounder for him. Tarasov is ready.

 

[McSuper]

Can he coach?

Nope but he can suck harder then Koskinen .

And wait for years for him to develop . The Oilers need a goalie now . I know fans don't get the concept of win now vs rebuilding .

 

[Vitto79]

Columbus would take that and run

Okay but you're going to be waiting a few years for Bourgault anyway. I know goalies take a while but atleast if you draft Wallstedt now you know you will eventually have the problem solved.

 

[GOilers88]

Under immense pressure to make playoffs.

Looking to trade for Korpisalo to carry them to the playoffs.


I says pardon?

 

[Anthony5967]

I'll send Georgiev right now for that. At least when he starts consistently he's usually good. He clearly can't backup.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Okay but you're going to be waiting a few years for Bourgault anyway. I know goalies take a while but atleast if you draft Wallstedt now you know you will eventually have the problem solved.

Bourgault was our target because our team thinks he is closer to being NHL ready than most other guys that were available. If his training camp and pre-injury season this year show anything, its that he will be ready sooner than later. Goalie development is voodoo. Wallstedt could be the next Brodeur. He could be the next Dubnyk. He could be the next nobody.

The Oilers aren't winning now. At least not enough to trade picks away in panic moves.

 

[kevsh]

I know. The Oilers need to keep their picks and draft and develop their own goalies.

Edit: Repetitive to other posts above.

 

[SensontheRush]

And wait for years for him to develop . The Oilers need a goalie now . I know fans don't get the concept of win now vs rebuilding .

You'd hope having Drai and McDavid would provide a window greater than the next four-five years.

 

[serp]

Thats expensive for a UFA goalie who is having an awful season. Is he even an upgrade over the current Oilers goaltending and i know Oilers goaltending sucks but Korpisalo has been rough.

 

[serp]

Korpi in EDM makes sense but not at that cost . Straight up Koskinen perhaps.

That'd be pointless for the Jackets. Might as well just let Korpisalo walk if Koskinen is the return.

 

[GJB]

Oilers already have an underperforming Finnish goalie, just not even an upgrade, no way Edmonton should be interested really.

 

[LTIR]

That'd be pointless for the Jackets. Might as well just let Korpisalo walk if Koskinen is the return.

Korpisalo has 3 wins since Dec 01 and will certainly not sign with CBJ.
This let's them test drive Koskinen and see if could work for them away from Oilers D

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Jeez. If that's the price for Korpisalo..........Aaron Dell can likely fetch a 6th............................


(please note the intense sarcasm)

well the oilers do need some more toughness.
