I can't imagine St. Louis being remotely interested in trading Husso. Not with how he has played so far this year and moreover how terrible Binnington is.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Lol if the ask for korpisalo is 2 and 3, the ask for Husso is gonna be redonkulous

 

[Beerfish]

Holland will get taken to the cleaners again. If I was an opposing GM I'd squeeze holland like a lemon.

 

[sasha barkov]

Why would they trade down when Wallstadt was on the board

Looks to me like there are two examples of Holland NOT getting taken to cleaners.

That may have been the ask, but that is obviously not the price you're going to get.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Least if you pay the price for Husso there’s a reward factor. He’s a very promising young tender (for Edmonton that is, not pushing 40) I have all day to discuss this one

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Greiss and Korpisalo's numbers are almost identical. Noway is Korpisalo getting a 2nd and 3rd round pick.

Blues trading Husso while Binnington has been less than subpar this season would be them totally giving up on the season. I can't see them doing that without a massive ludicrous offer that would get a GM fired.

 

[Reality Czech]

I mean trading for the best goalie in the league won't come cheap...

 

[PocketNines]

I can't picture the offer from Edmonton that gets this done.

It may be the Blues organization doesn't value Husso the same way you guys do. I mean, if the asking price was astronomical I bet that would have come out in the Friedman's tweet. Much like it did when teams inquired about Chychrun. Pundits were quick to point out how high the asking price was. Ditto when Eichel went on the market and the Sabres were demanding a kings ransom. Good to note Eichel went for less than Buffalo was initially asking.

So maybe insisting a massive overpay is the only way Husso moves isn't quite realistic.

I suppose we'll know more as things develop.

There's been reports and rumors saying the Blues have been hesitant about trading any of their goalies. (Husso and Hofer) it's not like I'm just speaking out my rear.

Obviously I was being a little tongue-in-cheek with my comment, but the Oilers would have to make it worth our while to trade our red hot "backup goalie." He's outplayed Binner by a wide margin and honestly he looks straight up dominant this year.

While he is a UFA to-be and we would be selling high, the Blues aren't gonna trade him just for the sake of it. We aren't going into the playoffs with an untested Hofer as backup and we don't have the cap space for a more expensive backup to replace Husso.

Feel free to let me know what they are. His best moves are a push at the most. Most of his moves have been utterly horrible.

The difference is that Sabres needed to trade Eichel. The relationship completely died and bridges were burnt. Not comparable at all to Husso.

Even chychrun, Arizona is making him avaliable for some reason. We've heard nothing about Husso being made available. All indications so far is that Oilers are asking around for a goalie.

 

[izzy]

Husso has been incredible, still unsure of how he will be going forward though.

Big risk/reward to sell high on him right now

 

[ManofSteel55]

Why would they trade down when Wallstadt was on the board

How would Wallstadt help this situation right now? He's no more ready than Stuart Skinner is, and we couldn't call Wally up anyway. Upside is through the roof, but prospect goalies are voodoo.

 

[xoczar99ox]

I can't picture the offer from Edmonton that gets this done.

Future considerations.

 

[PocketNines]

Future considerations.

I can't picture a realistic offer the Oilers would actually make that would incentivize the Blues to do this.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Why would they trade down when Wallstadt was on the board

Why didn't they just give Markstrom an extra year or whatever it was? Ken Holland tings.

 

[ManofSteel55]

I can't picture a realistic offer the Oilers would actually make that would incentivize the Blues to do this.

Listen, you'll take what we offer you and say thank you for the honour.

Please.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I can't picture a realistic offer the Oilers would actually make that would incentivize the Blues to do this.

I don't see why the Blues would do this right now anyways. It have to be a massive overpay from the Oilers.

I think it just came down to Markstrom using Edmonton as leverage to get the deal he wanted from...well...anyone else really.
