Oilers don't have anything the Habs need/want other than picks, and there is not a goalie int he NHL that can fix the Oilers defensive mess, let alone any of the Habs goalies (and would return not much in the way of picks).

I do not see the Habs / Oilers making a trade for a goalie.

I think the Oilers are scouting Habs defence.

could be.

as for the goalies I don't think EDM would consider any of MTL's goalies as a saviour though, just perhaps as a kind of upgrade over what they already have (or don't lol)

While thats probably true, the important part is what THEY believe

I think they ride Skinner and look to bolster their defence... looking for someone that can be around for years, a solid 4-5 guy.

Detroit seems like a better option for them to get a goalie.

Someone like Reimer is probably a better fit.

anyway if the oilers are looking at defensemen I wonder what that trade would look like, Hughes surely won't be trading away a young prospect so easily.

Guhle is likely the only untouchable in MTL/Laval TBH.

The oilers will trade for savard

- mr.peanut

He is the kind of player they need on the backend.

EDIT: They will probably ask for Serge, though.

but there's a difference between having too many goalies and lacking one, no?
- Pat1993

Of course.

But there’s still two problems Pat, just different problems..

I think we can afford to trade him at this point.

Of course.

what I'm saying is this technically makes them perfect trading partners Pete, if the oilers are indeed interested in Allen, the conversation wouldn't just end there.

Guhle is likely the only untouchable in MTL/Laval TBH.
- Mashadar

sure but the return still would have to make sense, even if they're asking for an unexperienced Struble for example.

habs kinda need him there, but hey, if the return is worth it...

Guhle is likely the only untouchable in MTL/Laval TBH.
- Mashadar

yeah, not too many of them on that team
Slaf, Dach...

And one more glaring problem.

The oil have no cap room..

I guess ça ramène peut-être la pertinence d'avoir un protège-cou, quoi que jpense qu'ils sont plus conçus pour protéger d'un coup de patin... peut-être que le jeune en portait un aussi, je connais pas les détails.

well there are probably players that both sides are interested in, wouldn't be out of this world.

The assets we would have to give up to dump him on the Oilers would be significant.
