I don't know I see them holding onto both for a while, it's like with the Ducks I don't see them trading off Gibson anytime soon because they have Andersen, just let the two of them battle it out and pick the cream of the crop and trade the other one when you are no longer able to keep them at a suppressed salary range. The Kings held on to Bernier for ages, it wasn't till he was in position to demand more salary and requested a trade after years of service that he finally got moved.
Tampa isn't trading a stud goalie and their 1st or top D prospect or a pending UFA and a draft picjk that is a year and a half away. Absolutely no way, this deal is incredibly lopsided in the Oilers favor.
They have no reason to trade Vasilevski anyway. They have him under team control for the next couple of seasons and by the time he's ready for full time action, they could just deal Bishop. Same with Anaheim with Gibson and the Bruins with Subban although the Bruins will likely deal Subban not Rask.

James Wisniewski is a healthy scratch tonight. He wouldn't be a bad replacement if Petry is shipped out. Purcell and Pitts 1st/Oilers 2nd and a prospect might get it done.

Yeah...that makes sense. Until Vasilevsky has finished his bridge contract there wont be much pressure to deal him.
The only hitch in that would be if Vasilevsky and his agent decided that he wanted an opportunity to be a starter which he wont be getting anytime soon in Tampa.
Its amazing to me that this team is STILL trying to find a #1 goalie for the 7th straight season now.

I wouldn't take that bet, but I'd make a move of Petry for Bishop (or some combination involving those two) all day long.

This would be an offseason deal if Petry was signed for another 2 or 3 seasons. Unless Tampa some how has another goalie lined up in a separate trade, Bishop isn't going anywhere.

Bishop cost a 2nd & a good young player when he was a backup.
Which is about what Petry's worth now.
I'm sure Bishop's price has gone up now that he's a top-15 goalie.
Petry + Marincin + 2nd or something

That's the east coast price, he was available to us for a 2nd round pick and a used up Ryan Jones.

Wow...thank goodness the Oilers didnt do that trade.
Dodged a bullet there.
Thanks goes to Tambo.

I thought the Senators turned down that one in favour of Tampa's offer. Oilers still should have offered more though.
It's a pipe dream, no doubt. Somewhat aside, Vasilensky is poised to become a starting goaltender, possibly even as early as next year. If the Oilers could somehow pry him from Tampa, then that would be fantastic, and it's a trade that one could reasonably conceive of happening at the deadline.
Edit: I doubt Tampa gives up Vasilevsky for Petry alone.

Yeah...I think you are right about that.
Still as you pointed out how in the world can Tambo offer that deal with a straight face.
A waiver pickup that couldn't stay on the worst roster in the NHL and a 2nd for a potential starting goalie.
Its like saying....here take this 2nd round pick + a contract we dont want and give us Bishop.
Little wonder the man still hasn't gotten a Management job of any kind in the NHL.
That was before he became a legit #1 goalie. I'm fairly sure that the price has jumped significantly since then.
In any event, the Lightning don't have to deal either goalie now so it's all a moot point.
The Oilers should target somebody like Craig Anderson. He's more attainable I would think.

Vasilevskiy is 20 years old. He just got his first taste of NHL action and the team doesn't have to worry about giving him a new contract for 2 seasons since I believe they signed him to the ELC last season. He's a top 2-3 goalie prospect in the world if not the top one.
Bernier had already been with the Kings for 4 years I believe and was due for a new contract. The situations aren't remotely similar so that's why I say that they don't HAVE TO trade him now.
Furthermore, if they are trading him now, it will be because other teams are inquiring so the Lightning will be a position of strength. I can't imagine that a package of a pending UFA and a 1st rounder next season get Vasilevskiy and their 1st rounder even on top of that.

CupofOil, Schneider who was young, had boatloads of potential, had already shown he could be a dominant goalie in the NHL was traded for less than you think Vasilevskiy is worth.

That's pretty harsh on Jones? He was coming off 17 and 18 goal seasons...the trade was at the very beginning of his fall off before his injury, so I don't think he was 'a contract we didn't want' quite yet.
