Proposal: SEA - EDM Part II

[Beerfish]

Goaltending is addressed in another trade. Lots of threads about that already.

There should be no other topic at all. That is and has been the biggest issue for 5 years and since the day holland sat at his oak desk for the first time. He has totally failed at doing anything about it and it is exponentially more important than recycling through our 3rd or 4th iteration of d men and wingers and using cap and trade resources to do so.

What would it take to switch Lavoie for Savoie?

The value as is for Seattle is fair in a vacuum, there's just no reason to do the deal unless it's a huge overpayment. Soucy and Appleton are 27 and 25, signed for another season with Appleton still being a RFA. They both could be part of the Seattle core for a few seasons, so to pry them would take more. Seattle is more likely to move UFA's like Jankrok, Johansson and Giordano and then retool the team in the offseason. I think they see themselves as a playoff team next year if they can get solid goaltending, they aren't ready to tear it down. So trading two players in sorta their prime age isn't a good step towards that.

I think it is a little over payment from Edmonton but even if it is fair in a vacuum it fits both teams timeline better . Why get greedy and ask for more ?

There are a number of holes in the Oiler line up. I think we have.. what, three different threads on the topic of a new Oiler goaltender right now? Feel free to post in one of those. This thread is dedicated to a Seattle - Edmonton deal around a 3C and a 2nd pairing LHD.
