Ersson would surely been the odd man out

 

[blackjackmulligan]

How about Fedotov going instead of Ersson?

who is going to take that contract?

 

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

They could always dress 3 Gs, Fedotov, Askarov, and Ersson. Dressing 7D is a thing of the past. New year, new Torts!

Mike Grier loves throwing out favorable life rafts to other teams. Edmonton essentially gets a better, younger, & most importantly a cheaper player given they’re up against the cap.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Left stick goalies freak me out. Looks unnatural.

But would be an exciting acquisition.

I liked Mason. I thought he got the shit end of the stick here.

"Right-handed robbery," as Jim Jackson would always say.

I wouldn’t bet on that. I’ve been impressed by his play considering the lousy stuff in front of him and the ridiculous PT he was given by Tortorella. Last season he was the best goalie that the Flyers had. When he sat, the team fared worse.

They would not move Fedotov due to everything they went through to get him. Askarov wants NHL time. So 3 G system?

This didn't make sense when it happened and it makes less sense now that I've seen this comp

IMO, Fedotov had better be as good as was predicted. It’s taken a lot of effort and money to get him over here.
I’m beginning to wonder if these Russian goal tenders aren’t starting to play head games with the FOs of NHL organizations in order to get placed where they want to be. Perhaps some GMs need to call their bluff and tell them that if they like the KHL so much, they can stay there for a while earning rubles instead of dollars.

 

[BernieParent]

Acquiring Askarov would not only be a convoluted trade but the Predators won't be just giving away arguably a top 3 G prospect. It would likely take a 1st and a decent prospect (Tuomaala?) to start negotiations.

Add to these points the fact that Askarov wants NHL playing time, so why would he agree to report to the Flyers and a three-headed goalie system as the likely best scenario?

Grier is basically executing Hinkie's Process, hoping that he just now drafted his Embiid. For SJ, this is Emberson for a 3rd and whatever he can get for Ceci at the deadline.

Ceci isn't part of the plan there, but Emberson wasn't, either, so why not churn the roster for assets?

Nashville would want a NHL goalie in return as part of a package, so no three-headed issue.

 

[freakydallas13]

No one is trading for Fedotov, he has a big contract and like 3 NHL games to his name.

3rd rd pick also included. Shows that with a rising cap, teams won't pay as much for cap relief as they did the last few years, so Briere was right using his cap room last year to get a 2nd and upgrade the Walker trade to a 1st rd pick.

To me, the problem seems to be that there is no room for Askarov at the NHL level with Saros at the long-term #1 and Wedgewood signed cheap for 2 more seasons. Where have you seen that they are requesting a goalie back?

They will not take Ivan. Not sure they want Sam either. They have 2 goalies on thier NHL roster already.

Big diff taking 2 years of RYJO as compared to 1 one of Ceci who is still a good bottom pair dman and will have value come the deadline.

 

[ponder719]

The cap certainly doesn't work for them to take Ivan, but Ersson is reasonably priced for a backup, and is almost certainly a better goalie than Wedgewood for about the same price. They might be locked in on Wedgewood for some reason, but I think they'd consider Ersson a credible upgrade.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

That’s a not a bad trade for Columbus considering they didn’t retain or anything. But I’m also not particularly high on Laine.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Big ups for me as a Laine owner in fantasy.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Well, the people that claimed that, would probably also call Lindros a coward for not playing through a concussion

I am sure Clarke thought he was soft.

Hey , is Tort's still behind the bench . If so I ain't coming back till the Pr$&$K is gone .

you do realize hes moving up in power when hes done behind the bench right ?

hes certainly not going away...

Hey, I wonder if they'd be interested in some of our pricier players, now that they have some additional cap flex... no, no, I can't even joke about that. It'd be nice, though.
