Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Where's the Beef?

Think we have to look at a 3rd goalie at the trade deadline on the cheap, Skinner is not taking the next step in his game and could be backing up Pickard at this rate and seeing as how Pickard was an AHL goalie this time last year, probably not the worst idea to have some options you might be able to hit on.

I kept tabs on Dostal from Anaheim because he stoned us a few years ago, but it looks like the secret is out on him this year and probably can't be had for cheap any longer.

Seeing the way Pod plays makes me want Kostin even more. Love that style of play. Make it happen.

Bash Bros

Or Crash Comrades?

That would be a fun duo though, Podz does remind me a little of Kostin in a way

Two of them on a line could be a handful for sure. Both are 1st round picks too who are young, if you're not going to draft/develop well at all, at least buy low on some of these options when they're there for the taking.

I think Jamie Oleksiask could be a target if Seattle falls out of the hunt.

All the crying and moaning about identity, well then lets just become a f***ing tough as nails team around our skilled players.

In: Oleksiak + Kostin + Evander Kane (off IR)

Combined with Podkolzin and Nurse, you'll get an identity pretty darn quick.

This is the formula the 80s Oilers were built around, some super skill guys + some really mean mofos that would punish teams.

Feel like Nurse would struggle quite a bit with Oleksiak. I'd prefer they go after a puck mover, who ideally skates well and has some decent size.

Nice thing is Nurse is starting to have more good games than bad. Just need him to play amped up all the time and need him to stop trying to do other guys jobs. The more he plays a simple game in the D zone with emotion and joins the attack the better he looks.
