It sort of doesn't matter because that's not the conversation. It was a concern about trade protection, which he does not have.

He has no trade protection. Why would you ask that and not than ask what team would trade for him? It is a yang yang question.

 

[brentashton]

He won't retire either, he's too stubborn. We should just deal him to the Coyotes and send them a third for their trouble.

Since Woodcroft took over:

Koskinen: 3-0-0, .936
Smith: 3-3-0, .899
Skinner: 1-0-0, 1.000

Stop f***ing around here. Feed Kostko starts, get Smith out of here, and bring up Skinner. Time to ice the best possible team.

Is that what the NHL Guide and Record book says to do?, because well,you know…

I feel all sorts of wrong.

Here’s a list of teams Stuart skinner has started against

Detroit, Buffalo, Winnipeg x 2, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle x 2, Boston, CBJ, Ottawa, Montreal, San Jose.

I count exactly 1 team currently in a playoff spot and he’s .500 against those teams.

This doesn’t tell us anything. What types of shots did Skinner face those games, what was his high danger save %. Whether it’s a playoff team or not means nothing. We aren’t a playoff team- I guess we should lose whenever we play a playoff team.

 

[Faelko]

When is the last time Smith stringed some good games together? He continues to let in horrible goals and be horribly positioned in net. He is lucky the third goal against Carolina didnt count, as it again went right through him.

He went 3-0 from Feb 11th-15th and posted .974, .938 and .900 in those games. Then the wheels fell off for 2 games and then back to .931 his last start.

Please don’t think I’m defending him but those are his stats.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

For a team like the Yotes, that's how they acquire assets.

We also shouldn't look at Koskinen and Smith as the same. One is winning games for the Oilers, the other is in net for wins sometimes. The team needs to move on from Smith

One is winning games but IMO isn’t taking us anywhere in the playoffs.

 

[Mez]

So is Benson injured or is there something else to him not being at practice?

Mike Smith is bad, has been largely bad and shouldn't be counted on, so moving him on is most helpful

But it’s winning!

Hasn't been anything said about it yet

 

[gordonhught]

Maybe he is traded for Josh Anderson @ 50% retained

just a guesss

 

[Ritchie Valens]

The Habs' fire sale has begun!

 

[Faelko]

The Habs' fire sale has begun!

But why? Lol

 

[Old Boys Club]

High picks + prospects should be moved to add depth and move out cap.

 

[Mr Positive]

But why? Lol

It's a reliable pattern that the more moves you make with a team, the greater the chance is that you make moves later. This move was smart to keep the dialogue going and get the inside track on bigger moves

Desharnais was deserving of a contract.

Love to see guys like this earn NHL contracts.

I just noticed hes almost 26 already.

Jesus.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Desharnais was deserving of a contract.

Love to see guys like this earn NHL contracts.

I was thinking the same thing, great these young guys are earning NHL deals.

 

[Mr Positive]

Samorukov is still a key prospect. He needed some more time. 22 is very young for a defenseman.

 

[Magnum23]

I have liked his potential for a while but realistically do we really have room for him in the next 2-4 years

 

[WIOiler]

Alright, let's put Nemo and Desharnais on our 3rd line and watch the carnage begin. Bodies everywhere.

Interesting that almost everyone is saying we need to run Koskinen now.

Like everyone hasnt been saying for the last three years that he's terrible with a starter's workload.

I realise Smith has been bad this year, but the almost unanimous flip this board has done on Koskinen after shitting all over him constantly for almost three years is outright mindblowing. As a general defender of him for most of his tenure Im happy for him currently, but holy shit man. You guys. Lmao.

Nobody wants him to play every game we want Skinner up to be a legitimate back up so koskinen doesn't get run into the ground.
