All is quiet on the Oilers front.

I think dumping Campbell at this deadline should be a bit more of priority.

Stop making new threads without locking the previous one.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I wonder if we see Roster movement today, because Shore and Desharnais likely have to go down, especially if Kostin can go.

I know it doesn't help the deadline, but if Kane is just out for bit, put him on LTIR so you can have Desharnais up and get a look at Lavoie.

To my knowledge, only a mod can do that.

What about a Campbell for Gibson trade? No retention on either one, I'd consider it.

I don’t think the ducks consider it.

I think we should let the mods start the new ones so we don’t have two going at once.

 

[Paralyzer]

I don’t think the ducks consider it.

Why wouldn't they? They save 1.6M in cap, and Gibson has similar numbers to Campbell, and Campbell has been to California before and would waive to go there if he was given the choice. They both expire the same time too. Only risk we get is an extra 1.6M in cap added, which we can balance out by trading JP or someone else.

Holland is going to trade a 1st and Bouchard for Edmundson and then hold a presser saying "You have to pay the price to upgrade your team, and as GM I was willing to do that".

 

[Canovin]

Gibson at worst is Georgiev.

Campbell is mostly Kosko on a bad day

Why would Anaheim do that??

Edmundson isn't in the picture. He hasn't been scouted and HE IS INJURED. Pessimistic Oiler fans get it out of your heads! Ridiculous thinking

LeBrun was on 1260 just now and says Holland is talking to a bunch of teams, which we knew already. LeBrun said he heard the ask for Ekholm was 2 first round picks. That's a good start; you can negotiate that from 2 firsts to maybe a first and a lower pick/prospect.

Cross thread quoting, but statements like this are what has me so frustrated this year.

Ekholm is like the 5th defenseman rumored to be available where my reaction to the reported asking price is "okay pay it" and we aren't going to get any of them.

Save 1.6M in cap space, and if they require a pick, sure. I'll give them a 4th. But those are the benefits to it.

I would say impossbile but it is not, how much are you willing to give a team to dump him? I'd ask for two firsts and a guy like Holloway to take his contract or just a 1st and holloaway if you give a bit of retiention.

Thee is no way a team is taking on this contract without massive payment and if you do get rid of him less than a year after he as signed then it should be the next gm as holland should be fired beforehand.

 

[McShogun99]

Oilers should be looking to add a UFA goalie and send Campbell to the minors. Go after someone like Korpisalo, he's a 1.3 cap hit and has good numbers behind a bad Columbus team and the savings from Campbell in the minors almost covers it. Once the playoffs start you call Campbell back up as a black ace in case someone gets injured.

Other possibilities could be Talbot or Jarry but both those teams would have to be in sell mode and retain 50%.

Because Gibson is a way better goalie.

The same Koskinen that had an over .900 SP and a 3.0 GAA while he was here? Campbell makes me miss Koskinenen.

Better how? They both have the same stats, with Campbell actually having better stats over the long run:

I could get into this but I’m lazy this morning. Gibson is still putting up better numbers and he’s on probably the worst team in the league.

He isn't wrong though.

Great comeback.

I actually give stats to back up my reasoning. I see you can't either.
