St. Louis is peeking in the windows of a playoff spot so Binnington is staying put. Talbot won’t return, Mrazek is washed, I imagine Soderblom is Chicago’s future goalie so I don’t see a whole ton of options.

Chicago just got Spencer Knight so Soderblom may be possible, so is Anton Forsberg, maybe UPL, Jonathan Quick, Merilainen if Ottawa is willing to give him up, James Reimer, and Skinner for Lyon might be doable?

Yeah, they aren't starters but they're actual NHL goalies who are outperforming our tandem behind worse defensive teams (based on GSAx). Watch any of them steal the net from our AHL duo. Will they be Vezina candidates? No, but they will definitely look like Vezina candidates compared to those two bums.

Honestly management could just say they are going to work the phones and make improvements if they make sense up until the deadline.

Instead they’re telling every person in the media we are looking for a depth D and not looking at goaltending.

We will see what actually happens. But the management group comes across as arrogant and out of touch.

Again they aren’t going to lay out their plans. No management group does.

At this point we’re in a wait and see.

He was only putting weight on one leg when skating out, thats why I assumed leg injury. Hopefully he's fine.

"Who cares", I was just spreading information, im sure a lot of people on here care if Gibson is available for trade or not.

Lol I didn't mean who cares to you my bad. I meant even if he is injured, just trade for him. We already got one injured player. Get another one.

Soucy seems to suck as a fighter based on a handful of fights that I've seen. Little to no offense, not a good fighter, what does he do well exactly?

Wasn’t he useful with Seattle?

That doesn’t help now. We need a goalie now. It’s silly to trade for him if you can’t play him.

Useful at being irrelevant. We need a difference maker on defence. I'm in for Brandon Carlo. That's who I want or Brian Dumoulin. This management group is so shyte that they'll probably go for Soucy lmao

Another poster mentioned Knight, I already forgot Chicago got him. Tge way these goalies have looked all season, a hay bale is an upgrade at this point.
 
Assuming Gibson’s injury is major, I’d give NJ a call and see if we can pry both Jake Allen and Johnathan Kovacevic now that Hughes is done for the whole season

Would be two good additions. A proper backup and a steady dman that would slot nicely in the top four

Skinner has been regressing each of the last two seasons, so his youth is no guarantee that he'll get better with age. He imploded in three out of six playoff series, basically cost us a Cup in 2023, and will only collapse more now that the D can't protect him. He's been under .900 in his last five games and looks way too slow to survive in this league. He's clearly not good enough to be the starter, his GSAx puts him at a level equal to a below average backup, and I'm not convinced he'd even keep a backup job on any of the 31 other teams. Now is the time to trade him.

He's overweight and can't do the splits. Moves post to post like the Titanic avoiding an iceberg.

Other than that, a truly fine goalie in the modern game /s

According to most here unless you curse skinner daily and have an effigy of him burning on your lawn you are a skinner fan.

Yup. That pretty much nails it. :nod:

The hivemind narrative on this board is really something to behold.
You highlight the defensive ineptness (poor puck management et al) of this team and that automatically makes you a Skinner fan...lol

So lame.

He has white knights on here.
Nobody would shit on Skinner if he wasn’t playing consistently terrible. Everybody knows players have on and off nights. But Skinner? Most nights, he sucks. His white knights fail to comprehend that, it’s comical.

I was never crazy about the guy but was happy when he was a little more consistent. Now he just makes me want to puke whenever he starts a game.
