Just so they can activate Seketa from IR....

Now they have Kosikinen as their starter for the next three seasons

 

[PG Canuck]

I like the deal for the Oilers.

I like the deal for the Oilers.

Explain?
Koskinen is not a starter
Stolarz is nothing but an average back up now
Don’t know how this look good on them, they can’t even solve their goaltending in FA because they are so tight against the cap

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Edmonton, 6 wins in their last 24.

Holy ****, I thought we were bad..

Avalanche is arguable worse than Oilers

Talbot is a pending UFA.

They have one of the best top lines in the league, that's about it.

Talbot is a pending UFA.

Yeah but getting a 25 years old back up who hasn’t been any good is a win????
Would rather try to go for draft picks, since their next few seasons are already screwed anyway

Talbot had one good year - he's not anything special, except for that one playoff berth. Talbot has little to no value. Pending UFA who has one good year under his belt as a starter. Oilers should be happy it was Stolarz and not Elliott.

 

[Melvin]

Talbot has been atrocious this season, is 30,and a UFA. They needed to dump his salary to activate sekera and couldn't expect anything in return.

Basically this. The fact they got a 25 year old starter who has similar numbers this season, whether it a smaller sample size or not, is a win.

Well, I guess in that sense, their goaltending are f***ed what ever they do

Just demonstrates you can’t be a one line team anymore..

 

[Melvin]

Why Philadelphia bothered to make this trade, I have no idea. They're out of the playoff race and just cycling through warm bodies in goal, of which Talbot will be the most expensive one.

Basically. Not even sure if there were talks Talbot would stay or go, but he was a pending UFA in Edmonton...Oilers should be happy to get something that MAY be of value to them. They are going to see what Stolarz is worth down this last stretch of the season, as they need to play him to avoid, I believe it's group 6 of UFA

 

[EpochLink]

McDavid looks like he’s been on a smoking binge.
Holy, the stress is real

 

[Star Ocean]

Ducks back to sucking

 

[stampedingviking]

I'm pretty his comment wasn't even in english, he needs to move on.

It was clearly in English, perhaps you need to go to reading comprehension classes.

Contract talks with both Kevin Hayes & Mats Zuccarello agents when we are closer to TDL.

...the constant carousel kinda makes it even more irritating they have been holding onto McKenna.

 

[Carl Carlson]

I'm guessing they are looking to sign Talbot to a much cheaper deal to be the backup for next year? Otherwise the move makes zero sense to me.

Once more Benning moves up the GM rankings by default even by doing nothing as there’s actually going to be other NHL GMs doing even more puzzling Elmer type moves.

 

[Foundational Player]

SCHNEIDER WINS A GAME, SCHNEIDER WINS A GAME!!!!!!!

Schneids is a beauty! Glad he finally got a victory under his belt.

 

[PG Canuck]

The Oilers have officially gone from Eberle —-> Gagner

LOL

They should trade both of them, I would think.
