The oilers signed their goalie of the future 6 months ago. I suspect he is looking for a backup. Yes, I know their goalie sucks

He said today they are looking to fix their goalie thing so sounds like they are in the market

Ya but they just gave him a huge contract so Holland is stuck w him

Holland said today we have a great young core and top priority would be a new coach , a goalie and get rid of bad contracts.

My first thought was Marky Eriksson and for Lucic and 8 th OA. Both teams retain 2.5 mil on Loui and Milan for future trading purpose.

I think it was a mistake for Edmonton to get rid of Todd Mclellan, for Hitch. Now they are back to having another coach

Just looked at his contract it is 3 years at 4.5

Put him with Ian Clarke Kosk and the 8th for Marky and Spooner

Does Edmonton have a say in this trade 😬

I don’t think so

Trading down isn’t worth it. Value of picks declines rapidly after 12-13. 10 is a great spot for JB to do his thing. No need to assume who other teams will pick. There’s a lot of guys to like at 10.

Could I get some evidence of this?

No matter what they do it will piss off half the people/fans

Term and cost would be the deciding vote

If you can move out Tanev and bring in Myers the difference is really only 2 mil
- VANTEL

Vancouver could possibly set a new record for goals against.

Just wondering on what planet, is a team that is in just as bad shape as the Canucks, going to give up a top 10 pick for a second tier goalie and a fringe player with a crappy cap hit?

You know, asking for a friend.....

Edmonton wants Spooner back badly.

Cool, the atmospheric pressure obviously crushes the intelligence out of their head there....

Do you see Koskinen as an asset or liability?

Right now I see him as an overpaid liability, otherwise your GM wouldn't be looking for a starter.

I guess you are the expert on lower levels of intelligence so you tell me.

Taking 3 million dollars back in a player you sent to the minors last season and then having to give up the 8oa pick for a goalie with one year left on his contract and one good season under his belt.

Could I get some evidence of this?
- manvanfan

There’s no evidence, only opinions... & I agree with him. The teens are no-mans-land in this draft. You could easily get a better player at 22 than is taken at 14. Depends on how everything shakes out of course... But trading back from 10 is Draft Russian Roulette (this yr) IMO.

Hutton and Tanev need to go. Don’t care about the return
- CanuckDon

In before you complain that the return for Tanev wasn't enough

Update: Seider still > Soderstrom

OK they can keep Koskinen . They have only like had 20 top 10 picks in the last decade so do they need that or do they need to fix the existing problems on their team.
I personally couldn't care less if they keep a 4.5 mil back up.

I’d happily take a 2nd round pick. Not fussed about the return
