This I like!

 

[RipsADrive]

Well that answers the backup question.

Hope he isn't the plan for future starter though.

 

[Philly85*]

Sure.

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

Woooooah!!

 

[SoftDumps]

3rd round pick for a look-see at a potential starter? Not bad. Our 3rd round drafting history doesn't likely net us anything of note.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Haha, wow.

 

[40oz]

At first glance, I like it.

 

[Mr Forever]

YES!!!!! this is awesome

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Is scrivens legitimately better than dubnyk?

 

[Joey Moss]

3rd rounder? That's an absolute steal IMO. Scrivens > Dubnyk.. Hendricks helps us. Good day for MacT IMO.

 

[Moose Coleman]

Much better.

Poor Scrivens, from LA to Edmonton in January.

 

[Worraps]

Poor Scrivens, from LA to Edmonton in January.

He's from Spruce Grove. He'll be fine.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

That's a steal.

Suck it MacT haters.

 

[McDoused]

Yesssssss

I like this deal a lot more. Local kid having a great season and has done well at every level so far as a pro.

I like the deal less if we don't re-sign him.

 

[McShogun99]

At least it's not Cam Ward. Worst case scenario if Scrivens isn't a fit we only lose a 3rd or trade him at the TDL.

Welcome to Edmonton Scrivens, you've now lost value on any deal you would have signed this July 1st.

Is scrivens legitimately better than dubnyk?

No, but Scrivens and Hendricks is better than Dubnyk and a 3rd that would turn into nothing.

 

[SoftDumps]

I hope he likes getting peppered. Early impression is this is a really good deal for the Oilers. Hope he plays lights out.

 

[Mr Forever]

Poor Scrivens, from LA to Edmonton in January.

hey, it's +7 today

So we don't have a 2nd round pick or a 3rd round pick this year?

We gave up a 3rd round pick for a backup goalie who is a UFA at the end of the year... and we have zero point zero chance at the playoffs.


I was fine with the Dubnyk trade... until this trade.

Scrivens has played great in LA this year.

















The Oilers are basically as good defensively as the Kings, right? Am I remembering that right?

 

[SchultzSquared*]

Aw snap... love it... Scrivens is the exact kind of shot we needed to take to cheaply fix the goalie problem
