Love how some of the people who now miss Sekera are some of the people who wanted him traded in the off season

Those two thoughts are mutually exclusive. The team misses what a healthy Sekera brought 2 seasons ago. We're never going to see that Sekera again, hence why fans wanted him traded.

Yeah perhaps. Actually I agree butvtgen I'm in the camp of -
We never really had a true #1.

To me Sekera was a good#2. We should have had eyes EVERWHERE the minute he got injured the FIRST time.

I think we can all agree with that

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

No idea if was reflected on tv.

But nobody at the game left happy.

When the play is as collectively bad as it was.

There is reason for concern

Yup. Was nice to meet you in Köln btw!

Any guesses what we do in goal for next season if Talbot doesn't rebound significantly? There's a few decent UFA's...I wish Russian's weren't such divas, would love to have Bobrovsky.

There is a big difference in trading a player and bring back value then losing a player for nothing .

I don't think Sekera will ever be the defence man we saw in 2016/17 . I think it time to move on from him .

Next summer

Sekera for a bag of pucks . His cap space has the value here
Lucic 20% retained for VV . LA gets Lucic at a decent cap hit . We rid ourselves of his contract . VV signed at 4.8 for a few years to let Bouchard develop . So VV would replace Lucic dollar for dollar but you would be getting a better D then Sekera

Nurse Voynov
Klefbom Larsson
Russell Bear

Wishful thinking that LA is that dumb.

HF Boards after 1st game loss.

Pffffttt. Not dramatic enough. Needs some explosions.

Would love Bobrovsky, but I don't think there's any reason why he'd sign here if he already doesn't want to sign in Columbus.

I think the Preds might move on from Rinne after this season as Saros is their goalie of the future. Id be happy with Rinne on a 2 or 3 year contract. Otherwise I wouldnt mind Varlamov as the next option if when puts together a solid season. Howard and Smith I assume will be re-signed if they have a good year. If they don't I wouldn't want them anyways.
If Lehner has a good season I can see him still being available if the Isles lure Bobrovsky and could be a good option too.

Big no on Voynov.

He was healthy and played well at the worlds. The one legged version we saw last season was a guy who was rushed back way too quickly.

Before Sekera went down we needed another d-man. Not surprising that people still want someone else.

 

[BigTime99]

Looks like Shattenkirk might be health-scratched tonight. Maybe he needs a change of scenery already considering the rangers are rebuilding. I posted a few days ago about what is would take to get him, I suggested 2019 1st+ benning or sekera. Considering shattenkirk is possibly getting healthy scratched, would it even take a 1st round pick?

According to CapFriendly, he has a 10 year no-trade list. I expect that we're on it given that living near his home out East was a huge part of him signing with the Rangers. I think he might be a good cheap pickup for someone out there though.

 

[BigTime99]

Those lists can be changed? I guess devils and leafs might be looking for a puck moving rhd. 3 more years of a rebuild or a possible chance to win out west?

The guy makes 6.650M and is a healthy scratch.
If Lucic wants to try out NYC lifestyle we might have a chance

Lucic (1M rtained)+Benning for Shattenkirk (1M retained) would work capwise since they are down to 1.5M of capspace and we got 0

They would be off the hook in 3 yrs while we will continue to retain the 1M for next 5 yrs.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Shattenkirk has a modified no trade where the player submits a list of 10 teams. I would be interested to know if he's willing to come to Edmonton.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Shattenkirk was East coast or bust when St. Louis considered moving him. It's doubtful that he'd consider Edmonton, but I guess beggars can't be choosers?

 

[StevenF1919]

Russell + Kassian for Shattenkirk please

If Shattenkirk wanted to be in Edmonton it would have happened for Taylor Hall. Seriously no one remembered why it fell through?

To be fair, circumstances change and he might be open to it if he continues to be a healthy scratch in New York.

Fair enough but it's the location that drove him to New York. If I remember correctly he also turned down a Stanley Cup contending team in Tampa. It's warmer too and he nets more money in that state.

Sekera is on the wrong side of 30 and will miss almost 2 full seasons because of 2 separate leg injuries. He’ll never be the same again.

 

[Canada Drai]

Why do we want a NYR healthy scratch making big bucks?
