Should be going after him and Hamonic

I'll bite then,

Are you saying that you don't think the oilers face more backups than the Hawks?

I agree with your sentiment that backup goalies in today's game are far from pushovers. (Hell, ours in Nilsson was the superior of the two for a stretch) and it certainly isn't a "slap in the face" per se.
And I'll even agree that alot of it has to do with mercy of schedule. Ie; back to backs etc

But I think coaching will attempt to set it up against weaker teams if possible. And for the exact reason ih8bb stated. Because they're ithe inferior goalie.
Even something as far as a scenario like both goalies fully rested, but they give the oilers the backup on the OPENING night of the set while saving the starter for the Canucks the following night (say a few years ago when van was elite)

I wonder where we could find some facts on this
- HB77

Ya I wonder if there are stats on it as well. It seems like we give a lot of career nights to backups.

Barrie is unreal good

What would Shatty cost? Ebs?

If Ebs is dealt I hope it is for a D who is signed to bit more term than Shattenkirk.
I have no faith that anyone we trade for will resign once their contracts expire.

I asked Blues fans this and the only response I got was "a first rounder who isnt yakupov" I would be ok with sending Ebs for him if thats what they wanted

Im sure those discussions would be had I cant see them trading a Nuge/Ebs unless something was in place for longer then a year

- nanook82

If they're trading shats it's for cap reasons

So either they're adding in an expensive piece while acquiring ebs/nuge
Or
They want high picks/prospects

Id assume the first as unless we're talking top 3 pick it prob doesn't make a ton of sense for a contending team


Ebs and oesterle/prospect

Shats and a salary dump

I was hoping Eberle was going to the Islanders for Hamonic

If you are PC and the Blues call saying they want our 1st rounder would you pull the trigger?

- Ihatebrianburke

We can still get him too I think we could pull both deals off

Really want him

Man he'd help a ton

Such a good shutdown guy that can play big minutes


But shats would help a ton too. Pp qb.


If we got both somehow using ebs/nuge and our first/nurse etc, We'd be laughing

- RatedR80

Yes

If it's first overall, they add something solid like berglund and we add salary dump (korpikoski/fayne)

If it's top 3- just the salary dump gets it done for me

Lowe is hammered!!!!

Is that after we win the lotto? In that case they have to add...

So do I. We have enough assets to get both done I think.

(frank) ya... Only thing that would stand in our way from playoffs is... well injuries...

I'd be trying to grab the rights to Troy Brouwer in any deal with them too.

I agree even if its the 1st overall we can find a way to make it work for both teaams....I dont see the Blues passing up on Matthews if they had a shot in getting him...plus he will be cheap for the next few years

So do I. We have enough assets to get both done I think.
- Ihatebrianburke

Yeah as HB said....Nuge/Ebs our 1st or Nurse....we got lots of options to get deals done

(frank) ya... Only thing that would stand in our way from playoffs is... well injuries...
- saskoil21

I'm sure it's much more realistic to hope for one of em and a decent free agent add

But sure would be nice ...

I've never seen a player that spins his wheels as much as Yakupov and goes nowhere.

You guys need to trade him ASAP... Something around Yakupov for Hamonic.
