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.
|
Anyway, I don't expect things to change here so they are what they are.
|
Maybe not an intended shot, but the impact reads otherwise. Text tone is interrupted by the reader. Many comments on here do end up dumping on management and the past twenty years of trauma the fans have endured, but if you do not like that narrative then ignore it and move away from the stuff that gets your keyboard humming.
With all that being said, I am going to take my own advice and move forward with the discussion. I think the Oilers need a veteran goalie. I think we will get one, but will be seriously underwhelmed with the return. Not due to inept management, but due to the lack of available quality tenders.
Also Nashville appears to keep their cards close to their chest. No one saw the Ekholm trade coming and I would not rule out them moving Saros if they get something that blows their doors off. They have two years to make the deal so they not in a rush, but desperate times may garner the best return. Edmonton does not have the assets or the or the cap space.
As for Askarov. He has a better pedigree and has played very well in his few NHL starts. As prospects him and Rodrigue are not comparable, even though neither are proven. If the Oilers owned both prospects, Askorov would be pushing for the NHL backup job today even though Rodrigue could be the better long-term goalie (goalies are voodoo).
Lankinen is interesting, but is he any better than Pickard?
