On Oilers Now, Frank Seravalli just said he's not convinced that the Oilers are done (especially after what Holland said on the show)
Can't wait for the AHL transactions tomorrow.

The reactions will be priceless.

"I took today off to see Drake traded for some guy I've never heard of"
 
The horrible D corps that's top 10 in almost every statistical defensive metric this year, that D corps?

As for goaltending, for goalies that have played a minimum of 10 games, the League average save % is .897%, Skinner has a .906% and Pickard has a .909%

Those situations are not a dire as you are making them out to be...

Yeah our tending is about league average right now. 25th and 31st in save% (min 10 GP) out of 69, so even slightly above average in that regard. They are +0.9 and +0.6 in goals saved above expected as well (so basically exactly what you would expect on average). Our tending was GOD AWFUL in October through mid-December, but Skinner has actually been above average since then.
 
That's good Holland. Get the word out through the media that you have interest in bringing him back.

Make Ebs think twice about re-signing in Seattle.

Eberle could pretty easily join Edmonton(or another contender) for a title run and then sign back on with the Kraken in July.

Doesn't seem like Seattle's offer would suddenly come off the table.
 
Seravalli also saying tomorrow is a buyers market. Prices will come down. That;s why Holland isn't calling it yet.

My guess is Holland has told teams what he can pay, and to come back to him tomorrow if they can't do better
Kind of like the Brassard trade. Sure people don't like that deal, but that's the type of scenario I see.

GM's know by now what type of player or even specific players that Holland likes on their team. Every team for that matter. Come an hour before the deadline those deals whether it's an Eberle or another depth like player start to flow.

For sure. Last I heard it was a term thing. Obviously Eberle is at the point where this could be his last multi year deal, but at the same time he's at that age he might want to chase the cup. Tough decisions to make.

F it, go get Hall at 25% as well
If Hall was a UFA I'd trade Ty Taylor for him. Even though he could very well not even play a lick of time, at least he could come and hang with his buddies lol.

I'm not against bringing back Ebs. The last time he was here. He was very vanilla(Casper) with RNH. Hope this time around(if he comes) is different

The problem is that Skinner is starting to show a pattern of going through slumps and I would love a 1B, but goaltenders are so unpredictable these days that I don't even know if it's worth upgrading Picard. Also, Rodrigue has been playing well in the AHL.

Campbell is 1A or 1B. Pickard is going to be the 3rd stringer

Kenny is good, but um.....Slats?
How the hell that guy could identify young talent that was drafted was something else.

Even though there were some tough years there, it could've been a lot worse during those cash flow years.

Then again the drafting was something else lol
