I think i heard a rumor ullmark is part of that debrusk-yamo trade but as was kassian but with him in protocol they are also waiting to pull the trigger until once rask is signed.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

As mentioned above Ullmark is probably the best bet. Maybe MAF it he’d waive for Edmonton.

 

[bernmeister]

Ulmark is the best bet IF he agrees -- think that didn't happen yet for a reason.
But as I said before, nobody good is gonna be cheap.

 

[Canucks LB]

Would Oilers be interested in Halak?
He has played really well this year, But has had zero scoring support.

 

[1989]

How much cap can the Oilers even take on for a half-decent netminder? Or rather how much roster do they have to move out?

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Bern, any source for Ullmark being unwilling to waive for Edmonton? I know he has a NMC.

No, because I want Tampa to trade Elliott for him.

I think the Oilers are interested in 90% of the goalies in the league not currently on their roster.

Unless they get Vasi a goalie won't change a damn thing in the grand scheme of things.

 

[Torontonian]

I'd imagine they could pry Quick from LA, has this year and next year as cap hit, Edmonton doesn't have to commit to him long term and probably would be fairly cheap to acquire him. Definitely an upgrade over Kosk and Smith, but I could be biased as I always have had a soft spot for Quick, love his style of play in net.

Don't think LA would mind trading him after signing Petersen to a 3 year bridge.

That's not true goaltending is a clear weak point

Hard to see why Ullmark would want to go to Edmonton at this point when he's set in Boston very comfortably until 2025.

 

[Holymakinaw]

McDavid for Vasilevsky.

He seems pretty temperamental too. Don’t know if that’s a great fit. Not to bang the Georgiev drum too much but the sense in NY is that he considers himself a starter and bristles at being relegated to backing up. A guy with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove could work out well for Edmonton. As opposed to a more established guy who maybe doesn’t want to be there, like Ullmark.

Came here to say basically this.

As bad as Edmonton has been of late and how desperate their GM will be to not squander another McDavid season, NYR should demand a second rounder and solid prospect like Savoie for Geo, whom shutdown Edmonton last night with a save % of 0.971.

drury would be in position to really rip Holland’s face off in this trade. Drury would hold all the leverage.

 

[Benstheman]

Edmonton should stop trying with unproved goalies. Go for a sure thing and pay the price even if it means dealing a 1st or one of your good prospects. Stop wasting Drai and McD’s time ffs.

 

[Spilot23]

What about MAF or Quick?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Any team that has an extra goalie will bend the oilers over the boards for their guy

 

[banks]

MAF to Edmonton makes so much sense. It just depends on MAF himself being willing to go. And I have no reason to think he is willing.

They need to figure out something. Wasting a significant portion of McDavid's career is just not OK. It shouldn't have been this hard to build a winner around him.

You are absolutely wrong regarding Kings goaltending situation.
Quick is starter for Kings and they are fighting for playoff.
Petersen is playing just a little better than average this year.
If Kings will be trading one goalie it will be Petersen.

Thanks for asking.
I am not aware he has specific veto vs EDM.
My statement was based on:
- Ul could have gone to Oil as ufa before this season but did not.
Multiple aspects to that, but appearance suggests neither side was willing to be put out to make a deal happen.
- Logic suggests Bs ok w/moving Ulmark, who only cost $, if Rask is returning. Howev, no external read that Ulmark wants to go anywhere, or at least anywhere in particular.

Depending on the price, Ulmark is likely best bet, tho for the cost, Geo likely the best value.

How did Georgiev look to ya last night ?
Need Koskinen at 50 plus a 2nd cause Edmonton is desperate
