Value of: Talbot to NYI!

[belair]

Sounds like a whole lot of nothing.

But just to play along, what if this tied into us swooping in and grabbing Darling and Faulk right under Chicago's nose in a Lucic deal? Could we stomach that?

Could happen

 

[CodeE]

He also said the Oilers might have an Austrian player, A Russian player , and a Chinese player in their lineup.


Austrian...
Russian - Kravtsov?
Chinese - Woo?

Antonly Golyshev, Andong Song, and the rights to Michael Grabner (which we somehow acquire) for Talbot?

 

[Legionnaire]

Yup. Sounds to me like a goalie who is developing. Why trade him when you will still need to fill that hole.

Cam Talbot is 30.

 

[SI90]

Cam Talbot is 30.

He’ll be 31 in a couple of weeks.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

We better have another goalie coming in if we ship out Talbot.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Seriously ? Close this thread. the Poster is so full of brown digested food, it isn't even funny.

 

[seafoam]

What was that discussion boards source? You said “ Lou is looking at Talbot and PC had him on the table”

How do you know that Lou is looking at Talbot?

Lou should be looking at everyone.

 

[SI90]

Lou should be looking at everyone.

I wonder if Tommy Salo is available?

 

[Seanaconda]

No reason for oilers to not give talbot another chance without someone else coming in

 

[Seanaconda]

Isles should take a chance on lehner or graubner or mason or dell

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

I'd do it if Buffalo doesn't qualify Lehner and he's signing with the Oilers.

But I'd also want a return NYI wouldn't want to give like 12 for Talbot and 40.

 

[periferal]

How can NYI fleece Edmonton this time?

Ladd for Talbot.

 

[seafoam]

I wonder if Tommy Salo is available?

I heard Nabokov was working out in Syosset with Satan and Martinek.

More to come.

[780il]

Id be down for Talbot + 40th for 12th.

I'm pretty sure they're a terrible source. But man would that ever be an awful trade for the Oilers.

I don't buy it for a second that RNH or Skinner are involved. But weirder things have happened when it comes to goalies. If Chia can turn Talbot and Looch into something good, I'd probably be all for it.

Snow’s not running things, so his secret ‘blow up Chiarelli’s head with my powers’ trump card is gone with him.

Trading Talbot and putting everything in the hands of Koskinen and Montoya seems like a great way to fire the first shots of the great Jack Hughes Tank War with the Habs.

TFP is so confident in this rumour they don’t even list an author’s name

Ooookay HF. Go to bed.

I thought it's like pokemon.

Since Snow is still with the organization, we can throw him out whenever it's time to deal with Chia. When he's sufficiently ripped Chia off (it's super effective!), he's back in the pokeball. We have to pay him for something.

I like to think Snow’s powers dissipated when he was removed from office - like everywhere outside the GM’s office is kyptonite to him.

But I seriously don’t understand this at all. We have young up and coming goalies but they’re two years away at minimum. Koskinen is completely unproven. Montoya blows. The UFA goalies are totally underwhelming and we have no cap space besides.

Unless you guys were offering up an idiotic overpayment that would make scrambling for adequate netminding worth it, then this makes no sense.

Not trying to pick on you, Belair, but a Koskinen/Darling/Montoya three headed monster is the stuff nightmares are made of.

There’d be less question marks at a Batman costume party where every guest dressed up as the Riddler.

As I posted on our board, you have time to manage that situation. A Darling buyout costs $8.5m over six seasons. There's also the potential of flipping him for another poor contract elsewhere. I'm assuming the goalie market is something they'll have figured out if Talbot is truly on the market.

I'd like to defend Darling as a possible bounce back option because I love his backstory, but his year in Carolina is too damning. That's an extremely high risk banking on him to bounce back from that.

If by figured out you mean ‘we will give Halak or Lehtonen a whirl and hope the combined GAA of a Lehtonen/Koskinen duo doesn’t hit double digits’ then sure, we’ve got it figured all right...

But hey sure let’s do this thing and assume a bigger deal looks something like

Lucic and Talbot for Faulk and Darling, and we then buy out Darling and say - best case scenario - we sign Halak.

Are we really better off?
