Name a team that is 4 or 5 deep for sure qualified NHL goalies? Most teams have 2 if they are lucky then a bunch of maybe's.
|
Do you really want the Oilers to be like most teams, or do you want the Oilers to be the best team?
|
I live in the real world and don't base all trades on what NHL 24 sees as fair value on whatever gaming system you own.

Why? A reckless jab at people discussing ideas how to improve the Oilers. Comments like that set the tone for conflict. You appear to want people to accept you, but in the same breath you push people away. You are a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma my friend. I cannot figure you out to save my life.
Anywho ...
As for Saros. If Nashville is falling out of the playoffs then expect a team like Carolina or Colorado who has the cap space to be very aggressive. Nashville may not have anything concrete between the pipes, but they are closing in on being stuck in the middle for years, much like the Flames. Nashville is looking for defensemen and Carolina's top 2 prospects fit the bill.
Gibson would be sought after, and his down years coincide with very poor Ducks teams. Who knows, they may even retain money.
Sabres are not making a move for a rental goalie when they are a a borderline top 5 lottery team. They may need to find Levi some help, but I think they are happy with Luukkonen as his partner.

My comment isn't supposed to be a shot trying to pick a fight. But so much of the discussion in here ends up being about NHL GM's are stupid and if the Oilers weren't stupid themselves, they should take advantage. Go actually look at how many times a decent topic very quickly turns into a discussion about the supposed stupidty of NHL GM's or this GM is an ex player so he's dumb. Even this thread, Buffalo is stupid so trade with them. I actually come here to have a legit discussion but it will turn sideways virtually every time because they all within a couple of messages turn into why this GM is an idiot or the Oilers GM is an idiot because he made this trade 5 yrs ago, etc, etc. Someone like myself will try to discuss the chance of picking up player X and it will quickly turn into they can get him but they will be stupid and give up this and that because 3 yrs ago they traded this, then Campbell's contract, etc, etc. Seriously, go look.
Anyway, I don't expect things to change here so they are what they are.
For Saros, they already said he's not available. There is rumors out there they turned down I think it was 2 firsts at the draft. So even if they fall out of the playoffs near the deadline, why would they trade him? If you are like me and don't think all NHL GM's are dumb, they still need a goalie for the rest of the year and next year. Like I said, Askarov looks like a good prospect but he hasn't played. He's got 3 games in the NHL. They'd be turning the future of the Preds in goal to a 21 yr old with 3 games. I don't see that happening. That would be like the Oilers deciding Rodrigue is their starter right now. We'd all think the Oilers would be insane. The more likely move would be them trading Lankinen who's a UFA so they can give Askarov his back up spot and let him play and learn behind Saros and see if he can one day do the job. Is Lankinen of interest to you? I don't know much about him so I have no clue if he's an upgrade on what the Oilers have. He has a 3.12 and a .898 this year. Doesn't look to great to me.
