Rumor: Trade Rumors & Proposals Thread | Get Us a ****ing Goalie Edition!

We are a little over 24 hours away from the trade deadline and everything is quiet. No clarity on Kane's LTIR situation (IMO this means that he will be gone) and no apparent upgrade in net is on its way.

Need new options in goal, there are plenty of options out there. The team just has to actually be willing.

Sell the Oilers team. We suck.

I'm sure the waiver wire will be of great interest to our esteemed GM.

[McTonyBrar]

Dumoulin gone. So I guess Soucy? LOL we just can't even make a simple f***ing depth move

They should claim Vrana.

they gave up a breakaway in the first 5 mins of the game last time...Pickard saved it
they gave up a breakaway in the final minute against Carolina, Pickard saved it

Great. You know what? That's his job.

Could the players up front play better? Absolutely. However, we get the impression that it seems the expectation you have is the players up front should take the full blame every time a goal goes in, but credit should be given in full for any 'difficult' save the goalies make.

The issue doesn't have to be mutually exclusive; both goalies and players can be shit at the same time. However, it is more often the goalies have been consistently shitty and being bailed out by the players up front. We are winning more games in spite of the shit goaltending; the goalies have rarely won us a game on their own.

No, because McDrai is great, they deserve a Chance to win.

 

[Soundwave]

ya that was a brutal goal

and ya I do get it....literally anyone is better than this duo and whoever comes in definitely will never give up a soft goal

That's actually not hyperbole. The Oilers do have the worst goaltending tandem of any contender.

The only teams that maybe have a worse tandem are Philly, Pittsburgh, maybe Buffalo, San Jose but only until Askarov gets more experience, and maybe Columbus. So 5 teams, really 4 until Askarov breaks out.

The Oilers tandem is near the bottom of the league and below several non playoff teams even.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Some players should be hitten waivers today no?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I think that Stanley Cup stuff is why they paid so much, seems a bit rich for the guy, as Dom states.

Tony's gonna be pissed.

EDM connection.

Anaheim retained half for Dumoulin and it only took a meh prospect and a 2nd rounder. Ugh how can we not match that?

That's true, but don't they also pay the least? Price of having 2 superstars I suppose. I've (like most here) wanted a better starter for years though, but the analysts and people running the Oilers apparently know better than us.

Has anyone done a basic analysis of Blackwood vs Georgiev this year on the Avs? Seems like a goalie upgrade can definitely be worth the investment.

edit: Looks like Blackwood is .921 as an Av vs .873 for Georgiev this year. So Blackwood is outperforming his numbers with San Jose (which were around .911). Georgiev is .884 with San Joe.

I thought Blackwood's performance with Colorado could be a good indication of what a goalie upgrade could net the Oilers, but unfortunately there isn't a comparable upgrade available. Too bad the Oilers couldn't/wouldn't get him.

I assume they did, but I haven't seen that yet.

Oilers are cooking, I can smell it.

I'd rather do nothing, Soucy has been hot garbage for a while now.
