Friedman: Edmonton was close to a "big" trade on Wedneday involving a goalie.

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

On the most recent 32 thoughts Friedman brought it up.

He doesn't know if it was just delayed, fell through, or what, but he was told the Oilers were close to a big/significant move in goal.

As a hab fan thar clearly not Allen, so possibly Gibson from Anaheim ? With Dostal playing well that might be a possibility

Until Edmonton replaces their goalie coach it’s just shuffling deck chairs on the titanic. As a Canucks fan, Demko is good in his own right but Ian Clark is legit a goalie whisperer — the Oilers desperately need better support staff. The fact this dude has survived as long as he have is just evidence that failing upwards is a thing for some people

Probably Binnington who said no to joining that trainwreck.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

I hope it’s binnington and I hope it still happens

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

My guess is that No Trade Clauses are being exercised.

 

[93gilmour93]

At this point I think this is a better option for the Oilers in goal instead of what they have…..

 

[Czechboy]

It's be easier and more effective to add a better Dman first. Not that it is easy to find a Dman but no goalie will step into that lineup and not see their save percentage go down.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Dwayne Roloson can only save the oilers

But who wouldnt want to go and play with McDavid?!?

Gibson or Binnington make the most sense. They should of gone all in on Helly in the offseason. But until they fix their defense AND the teams mindset on playing a 200 foot game, it wont make any difference.

Apparently Holland has phoned Tommy Salo more than once but the line was busy.

 

[trick9]

Carter Hart?

I hope so too. Keep all the most unlikeable pieces of shit on the same team and watch them implode.

Who have Edm been able to acquire over these past few seasons to fill a need because they had McDrai?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

This poor goalie is gonna get lit up too if Holland doesn't fix their defense too

 

[ujju2]

Hyman? Ekholm? Barrie?

Oh god, somebody please take the phone away from Holland.
Haven't we suffered enough already?

Nah. You guys f***ed up the draft lottery for a lot of us, so eat it.

I'm sorry that happened to you. My condolences.

As a Canucks fan I would love to play Binnington 5 times a year

 

[BB88]

Carter Hart?

If you read the earlier rumours they would hint to Binnington

The season is pretty much lost now. They need a minimum of 95 pts to make the playoffs. They have 5 right now with 70 games left. They have to go 45-25 the rest of the way or play 0.650 hockey just to maybe sneak into a wildcard spot. They already lost 3 games to a divisional opponent (Vancouver) and the schedule the rest of November is absolutely brutal for the Oilers. October was the time to bank some points. For reference the Jets took the last spot in the west last season with a record of 46-33-3 (95 pts).

This is the Oilers schedule the rest of the month of November. No way in hell they are winning 75% of those games.

You pointed out it out unless you were being sarcastic about McDavid. Lol

Even if McDavid was playing like he did last year, Edmonton is not a goalie friendly place. Of course it doesn’t help when the goalies play terribly but a lot lays on the leaders of this team.

Putting up points seems to always be their main concerns. Keeping the puck out of the net isn’t on their minds nearly enough.
