He has a no movement clause lol. He can't be traded unless he wants to and I don't see any reason he would want to.

That isn’t the way I meant it and I appreciate the apology.

I agree it would be a pure rental and I wouldn’t want to pay a lot but if you’re going to get a goalie I think he’s the guy. A lot of the names I see thrown around I don’t think are clearly better than Pickard

Vinny was solid here but he’s a 1 million dollar guy. I was a fan but I completely support the decision to walk.
Not really honestly. We have a wealth of forwards I really don’t understand wanting to add anything there honestly.

Stan Bowman might be losing his mind that Saad is available but we don't have room for him.
Not really a regular season guy. But he shows up for the playoffs (from my memory)

Sometimes miracles
Apparently the rangers are open for business, Brayden Schneider would look good in Oilers' silks

I’m honesty unsure. I think goalie markets are fickle and it’ll depend who else is looking for a goalie (Carolina?). If there isn’t much of a market and they don’t think they will re-sign him then maybe there’s an opportunity there.

Fabbro goes out of position during the play on Killorn's first goal and is on the ice trying to clear the front of the net but screens his goalie on the next goal.
Provorov loses position and is caught flat footed on kilorn OT winner.
Thats mistakes two games running for Dante. All this pining on here about him. He will end up being what he has always been and the Reason Trotz gave up on him. He would not have been my choice either. Dante has always looked a little lost defensively.
Columbus should capitalize while they can and send him to Vancouver.

Doubtful we see a trade before the new year.
Team is rolling right now, very strong defensively, goaltending is going and the scoring and depth scoring is starting to come.
They’d be pretty foolish to rush a trade right now.
I’m starting to think the best move might be to trade for the best centre you can get. I’m sure it will be a replacement for Stecher, but imagine adding another top six centre to the mix using this years second and a first, and bumping Ryan out of the lineup. The forward group would be absolutely stacked.
I’m sorry, but what? You have Mcdavid, Drai, RNH, Henrique, not including Ryan. It’s nice to have depth, but why in the world would you use another 1st and 2nd to upgrade centre?
Defence, specifically RHD should be the top priority. Shut down RHD being more would be preferred. We do not need another “top 6 centre” unless we come across longterm injuries. It’d a waste of draft capital and a waste of cap space. Neither of which we can afford to lose.
Trade for a RHD with cap friendly term. Or an upgrade in goal, if the right deal comes along. Bad take.

(lol sorry just jokes, but I would consider a Ryan replacement, however I don't think we should pay up big for it).

Earlier in the year I was of the opinion that a Skinner trade had zero chance of happening. But as the seasons gone on I’ve had a bit of a change of opinion. All the NMC means is he’s got full control over any move that could potentially happen. There’s definitely a chance he could just decide he’s riding it out here to break his playoff drought like he came here to do. But if he continues to struggle to adapt to the lineup here and hover around 12-13 minutes a night, maybe even less as the team gets healthier, he might be open to a move to a bubble team looking for a goal scoring punch in their top 6. Because if it gets to the point where he’s playing sub 10 minutes down the stretch and even potentially getting healthy scratched come playoff time it’s going to put him in a pretty brutal place for finding a new team to pay him anything worthwhile next summer. He might take a 20 game tryout getting way more ice time to put some more positive film out there.
That said, I do feel like he’s coming on the last few weeks and has been playing better so hopefully that continues and it’s a non issue.

Hard trade to make. Lou doesn't retain. Never has. Would need have a 3rd party retain half just to get to $3m. Would mean J. Skinner going back, but yeah its a pretty specific deal.
