Maybe Jones and a little sump for Korpisaalo

I would steer clear of any goalie in Columbus.

They're getting close to overtaking Minnesota at propping up average goalies with system play.

They need scoring and probably don’t want anything to do with more defenders/goalies.
AA for Korpisalo

Trading for a goalie a year out from Seattle expansion is a bad idea imo. If that guy doesn’t outperform Koskinen next year it turns into a big issue of who to protect. Likely throwing away assets for nothing.

Plus after seeing Bobrovsky struggle with the Panthers this year I’d be super leery of Jackets goalies outside of that system.

Would you prefer Mike Smith?

 

[McDNicks17]

Greiss
Raanta
Bernier
Reimer
Dell

That would be my list/ranking for realistic goalie options that performed well under relatively tough workloads last year.

Pretty sure we will have a D better than Koskinen...but I see your point.

He was really good for Phoenix and Calgary in the playoffs. Has a reputation for "bringing it" in the playoffs.

You will join the Korpisaalo train....in time...

Yeah I think I would aim towards Greiss on like a 2 year deal if possible. Hes been pretty good in a 2 goalie system. Hes old enough that he shouldnt be getting any crazy contracts. Only thing that scares me is that NYI system I think makes goalies look better than they are. They lost Lehner and they just kept ticking along. Work your german magic Drai.

You're just asking to get Bobrovskyed with these guys.

 

[Paralyzer008]

I should note, Seravalli mentioned Tuukka Rask and Parayko on his trade bait piece, didn't put them on the trade board though.

What does Bobrovsklyed mean? fat and overpaid?

he won vezinas didnt he? I wouldnt necessarily count him as done.

I’d have no problem bringing him back. He was great for us in stints and I won’t let 1 bad period in the play in round change what I think about him. There are better goalies out there but Smith still has some game left as a backup.

Reading the tea leaves and projecting a bit...

Oilers bring back Pulju from Karpat

Bjork for Chiasson

OEL for Neal + 14OA + Russell + Samorukov

Nurse for Ehlers

AA for 2020 2nd

Re-sign Ennis and sign Greiss as UFA

Ehlers - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Nuge - Draisaitl - Yamomoto
Bjork - McLeod - Kassian
Ennis - Haas - Archibald

OEL - Larsson
Klefbom - Bear
Jones - Benning

Koskinen
Greiss

Im only against bringing both Smith and Koskinen back. I'd prefer Koskinen as well.

It just seems better to have someone grow with the team.

I have huge problems with him coming back, he wasn’t good for EDM in “stints” he was good for one stint, his run from mid January to early March. When he wasn’t on this stint he wasn’t just bad, he was flat out horrible. Does everyone forget the threads on this sub at the end of December praying that he would get jetted into the sun? He’s 38 this next season, was a whopping .15 worse in the SVP category than his counterpart who played almost identical minutes. Edmonton was among the bottom teams in the league when it comes to 5V5 SVP, goaltending was about the only metric they didn’t improve on last year.

IMO priorities go

Good 1B option, NOT Smith, way better options out there, also will be a very compact schedule from the sounds of it.

3C

Top 6/9 LW if AA/Ennis are no longer with the team.

A veteran depth D if Benning moves on in FA

cap won't work with those deals.

Just curious, what is the net impact to the cap if these deals went through (based on reasonable deals for JP, Greiss, and Ennis)?

Hell no... 1 period of bad play? The guy statistically was at the very bottom of the league the whole season.

We'd need to dump Russell in that Arizona deal, plus not re-sign AA. I took a stab at it below.
