Speculation: Smith injured Again- Edmonton just got more desperate for a Goalie

[Canucks LB]

Halak isn’t signed for next year.he’s UFA at seasons end He will have a $1.25m cap hit for a sliding bonus though. If he plays 2 more games for Vancouver they’ll have the cap hit next season. If he plays his 10th game for another team they get the pleasure of having that cap hit for a player who may not even be on the team.

Oh shit lol

 

[BudBundy]

Just. Play. Skinner!

 

[NMacrules]

Mrazek for Bouchard

 

[Jerkbait]

Halak for 2022 1st

Come one you know halaknis headed to pitt for zucker right ?

 

[Jerkbait]

Last time they made the finals was with a 36 year old goalie (who later came within a game of the finals at age 41) so I guess they're trying the same recipe?

Yes my good friend Dwayne......they could only wish

 

[Mooserton]

Was probably injured diving, knocking his net off its moorings or whiplash from forcing his helmet off.

 

[Jerkbait]

We would be Anaheim isn't going to move him.

Gibson is the guy. The ideal piece here to this puzzle. It's gonna cost BIG bit they need to try and pay him out of California

 

[McSuper]

any interest in Dreidger?

As an Oiler fan I would say no but I know many Oilers fan like him . Too me he just has never really put up great numbers except for 1 year in Florida .

His three year deal scares me otherwise I'd shoot for him and Soucy in a package.

 

[McSuper]

Please show me where he is getting 4.4 a season please. Go back to making your stop the steal signs in your mother's basement

With all due respect he said contract not a year . Not sure why fans twist things . 4.4 million is what Smith contract is - over 2 years .

 

[NoelVilla]

Korpisalo just must hope for a phone call that he is traded to Edmonton. A 2nd might get it done?

 

[BudBundy]

Mrazek for Bouchard

Trolling or do you really think this has a tinkers chance in hell of happening? I could guess, but I’m dying to hear you try and justify this.

 

[McSuper]

Have you seen what the guy I responded to "offered"?

Price at 50% + Top prospect + 1st for Barrie

I mean, wtf?

That was me . Montreal fans like pumping Price tires . He hasn't been good except 1 good playoff run and another decent one . His regular season have been meh . He hasn't played a game this year and Montreal think he worth a McDavid type of haul . Get it no one wants Price . You want to dump Price it going to cost you . It going to hurt . I don't see Price being traded at all as no team is going to want him . Montreal will probably have to buy him out in a few years .

Having said the above if Price comes back and plays light out of course he would have value with some retention , Say 33.3% . So just under 7 million

 

[McSuper]

Varlamov for a first?

I would do that if we can send back some cap

 

[McSuper]

Some teams have 3 competent goalies and Edmonton has none, seriously what is wrong with this organization?

The Oilers are the 3rd most popular team in Canada but fans sue love to hate them . Philly never had a good goalie for years and they didn't get this love .

Guy's even more cooked than Koskinen and Smith are.

Oilers shouldnt trade then - if hes not that good

 

[Stuart Little]

How does a Fleury to Edmonton Trade even work???????

Let's just say it's

Fleury for Koskinen PLUS picks and prospects

where and how is the remaining 2.5 M in cap space made up and accounted for???????????

 

[McDrailers]

I’m conflicted. I’m hurting for my team but at the same time I love how terrible this looks for Holland. Looks <insert f bomb> good on you.

CHICAGO CANT RETAIN ANYTHING - they are at the cap ceiling - and if you WAIT UNTIL the deadline where CAP is not as much of an issue - then that kind of destroys the point of getting a goalie like fleury to "help you get into the playoffs"

 

[McSuper]

Oilers shouldnt trade then - if hes not that good

Agreed .

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Oilers shouldnt trade then - if hes not that good

Agreed.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

imagine passing over Jesper Wallstedt.
He was literally everything the Oilers needed.

 

[RickyLafleur]

Where am I hating? What does Philly have to do the Oilers and their goaltending issues for the past 15 seasons?

 

[GreeningOil]

Why Edmonton relied on a 40 yr old goalie I’ll never know. Saw this coming from 1.6 kilometres away.

Dudes in space could have seen this one
