Lundquist for Talbot, 2019 1st rounder
Lundquist for Talbot, 2019 1st rounder
If their going after Ottawa, why just target Hoffman?
Larsson, RNH, Puljujarvi, 2018 1st and 2nd
for
Karlsson and Hoffman
High-risk High-reward deal
my current stance would be to treat this year as the outlier as opposed to last year.
get what you can for playera you arent resigning. Hit the draft out of the park somehow and keep adding depth.
im worried about talbot and todds.....*creativity*....but grass isnt always greener yadda yadda
We need someone who sits on their thumbs.
Inaction is literally the safest course of action.
Make your moves like impending UFA's for picks, but nothing of true substance.
At least this offseason anyways
So I guess lets go into another season with AHL goaltending and see where that gets us.
Talbot had a string of 4 great years in a row before this year. Wanna place a bet on whether this year is an off year or not? Like I said, Oiler fans must have no memory if they didn't learn anything from Dubnyk
You don't overpay and mortgage your future for a 1 year solution. Beause I hate to break the news to you but the Oilers have more glaring holes than just goaltending. Don't expect a good team for 3-4 more years (when Henrik is not in the NHL anymore)

Ottawa asks for Draisaitl + 1st 2018 + if Karlsson is to be considered at least. What the management group that panicked and moved Hall for Adam Larsson is now magically going to get a much better player for less? Lol, other GMs know the score.
Goaltending is our biggest issue/hole this year.

I firmly believe that Klefbom will be made available for an upgrade this summer. Sekera might be as well, but remember that he has to waive his NMC.
That’s not the ask
Your last few posts read like you have some insider info...
So we're after Karlsson and Hoffman. I'm guessing the starting pieces are Klefbom and 2018 1st.
Shot in the dark, the other pieces are 2019 1st, a conditional 2nd, and one of Yams/Puljujarvi.
How can the ceiling be "bubble team" if the core of this team that isn't even in their prime yet led them to a 103 point season and within a whisker of the WCF's?
I'm a bit torn. I do think this team is primed for a bounce back season next year. We have a bunch of players who have had the worst season of their career and some by a significant amount and the team is pretty strong 5 on 5. On the other hand, I'm not entirely sure that I see a Cup contender when the best Dman going forward is Nurse or Larsson or Sekera or Klefbom none of which can play 24-25 minutes a night, run a PP and/or push the pace offensively at even strength. I do see an opportunity to add a Dman of this ilk with some of the assets the Oilers have but is it worth hurting the already shallow organizational depth? I don't know.
