I’d be shocked to see Edmonton go to a goalie like Korpisalo at this point unless the wheels fall off to start the season. Both Koskinen and Skinner have had a great camp, and Smith is the number 1. They will exhaust all three of those options before tradings assets I would think.It certainly seems to be the most obvious way. I'm not sure if its really even an option though, he does have a partial NTC I think. For all the chatter about Gibson wanting out of Anaheim, that doesn't mean he will want to come to Edmonton.
I still think we end up with Korpisalo and not being any better off for it.

We’re not doing any charity work for NJ lol. Why are we paying the price for Gibson and gifting him to Jersey?3 Way Trade

I'd rather leave that deal with Gibson.Wait, the Oilers lose Holloway and a 1st to deal away Koskinen and get Blackwood? That's a crazy high price my friend.

I think the flaw in your argument is that you are considering Blackwood to be a marginal step down. I like Blackwood, and he is still getting better, but Gibson is more than a step up on him at the moment. He has become so underrated, and all because he plays on such an awful team. New Jersey hasn't been world beaters in recent years, but they are certainly better than Anaheim has been.Blackwood's numbers are better than Gibson's since Blackwood came in to the league. It certainly isn't "charity work"
The way I look at is, you could have Blackwood who is a marginal step down from Gibson but is 4 years younger
or you could do a massive overpayment with Anaheim to get them to trade Gibson within the division

The funny part is, that you are offering up more for Gibson between the two clubs than many Ducks fans have agreed is a fair amount in teams with just Edmonton included in the discussion. There have been discussions around a package that includes Koskinen, a 1st, Holloway or Broberg, and one other good prospect that have already been had. You're offering another former 1st rounder on top of it and giving us a lesser (albeit younger) goalie. The only reason to do that would be if Gibson is wanting a trade but not to Edmonton. Even then, if NJ was interested, you'd think a package of Blackwood+ would get Anaheim's attention more than the smorgasbord of pieces offered in the Koskinen and futures package.
Mikko Koskinen has 56 wins 47L and a .908 save% and 2.92 GAA in the last 3 years too. So if you're going by stats, Edmonton pays a 1st, Holloway, and 50% retention on Koskinen for.... 0.03 more save %. Not to mention this means Koskinen is better than Gibson!
My point is, stats are useless and can usually be cherry picked to prove your own view. It's unanimous that Gibson is better than Blackwood, so why is this even a 3 way deal, for that price Edmonton would just want Gibson and to cut out NJ. The fact that your name is "Devsguy24" says all we need to know about your future comments.

Well Koskinen is GP-123 W:56 L-47 GAA: 2.97 and Save % is 9.07, so what does that mean? Do we get more for him because he is as good as those 2?
Blackwood is unvaccinated so why would Edmonton trade for a goalie who can't even take to the ice?

Jesus, I already revoked my fake trade, calm the F down and move on. I’m so sorry I implied that a Devil player might be decent, when it’s painfully obvious they’re all garbage and have no value
Do you realize how long a process there is to build a competitive team though? It's not something that gets built in one or two off-seasons. Just because the Oilers lucked out getting to draft an elite talent in Connor McDavid, it doesn't mean a competitive team suddenly falls into Edmonton's lap. The second and third contracts of the team's impact players also limits the amount of flexibility the team has to secure additional talent without limiting the team's competitive window by tying up future cap space.Why are you talking about the results of the one most recent offseason like it invalidates the truth of the futility of the dozen offseasons I mentioned prior?
Ovechkin's Capitals have had much more strong, consistent teams, only missing the playoffs once in his career. McDavid has already missed three. What do you think that says about the quality of the team around him?

Regardless if you like Holland/Tippett they have improved this team every year.
