Absolutely. A goalie like Markstrom could be the difference between a team like LAK/TOR being knocked out early of going on a Cup run(I don't trust Talbot as a #1), or a team like NJ making the playoffs/some noise in the playoffs.
No it doesn't. Would be nice if we could get Markström with just a pick, but considering we have to move Vanecek who has negative value of a 1st/2nd, it's just not gonna cut it. Let alone if we also trade for Tanev.
1. goalies are voo doo and hold less value on the market.
How long is Carolina going to keep wasting a cup contending roster by believing the 1st point you make. Goalies are LESS of a sure thing, but there's a big difference between betting on something that's a 75% chance and something that's a 25% chance. You'll by a billionaire doing the former and bankrupt doing the latter.
We havent had a year where a goalie has kept us from advancing
Obviously Lindy and Tanev aren't throw ins ... that's why these proposals include at least a 1st and a top-2/3 prospect or young player from each team.
So they .869 goaltending you got in the playoffs in 2022 was good enough?
Don't think anyone who watched Carolina in the playoffs said goal tending is what their issue was.
A .911 is a playoff sieve? Interesting. I get it, you're an Oilers fan and nervous about what happens in your crease come playoff time if you get there. It's a psychological term called projecting.
I very much disagree. I think it's a massive hole for them. Particularly this year.
He had a bad series. It's why he's only a .911 and not a .925. I watched McDavid fall apart against Chicago a few years back in a series where old, broken Toews slapped him around. Is he a playoff dud?
Your values don’t reflect that. Plus you’re adding retention and taking back cap dumps. Lindy will get 3 pieces on his own and then retain and get another. Tanev should get a first on his on and then up it with retention. Also the Carolina proposal with just Marky was about the same value of the other trades with you adding Tanev.
Let's not forget that in the Dallas series a couple years he had set a save percentage record in a single series for the Flames that same year at .943. People blame Marky for the Edmonton Series and he was not the issue.
you saying that a .910 goalie would have changed it? we would lost 4 away games by a score of 2-1 instead of 4 to 1 or 5 to 2. yeepee, I feel better now.
He didn't. Like every goalie he had bad stretches. He also had stretches where he was unstoppable.
He honestly didn’t play that bad, our team was atrocious defensively. But his first year pre and post concussion he gave us .924 goaltending and his second he was a Vezina finalist. Big difference last year between just being fine and the other levels, and this year I think once again our teams play defensively is hiding just how amazing he is.
