Rumor: Trade Rumors and Proposals Thread | The Answer in Goal is NOT in the Room, Get Us a Damn Goalie!

Beg to differ. Benson isn’t close.

To what? Archibald isn't good. Look at him like Mike Smith, a Tippett remnant

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Taking offers for Mike smith. Will cost a first rounder and a good prospect

Yep. Mike Smith is a black hole. Absolutely untradeable.

Yeah I don’t know what your talking about. Archibald has been probably our most consistent bottom 6 winger for years. All year we’ve been playing guys like Turris, Benson, Perlini to try and plug that hole. None of them are close.

Malone ok but not stupendous today. Fourth line still a work in progress.

Josh Anderson @ 50% for Puljujarvi or Holloway.

That will give us a pretty cheap top RWer for the next 5 yrs and these playoffs.

Until he falls off a cliff in a couple years. Yikes. Give me the cheap young guys.

6 years at 5.5M. No way we fit him in under the cap.

The guy is 27 , younger than Hyman, Nuge and Nurse and only one yr older than Drai.
I like Holloway more for sure but Anderson in his prime years for that cheap would be too good to pass up on.

We aren’t a winger away from cups

I suppose

I just like that player

Yeh, pass at full cap but with salary retained he would be an ideal fit.

you take that back

oilers are Josh Anderson away from greatness

We just got Kane for free who is way better in the nhl than josh Anderson.

James Reimer left tonight's game with an injury.

I hope you're joking lol.

Nope disagree

So why not both especially if MTL is willing to retain a couple mil per ..

 

[McDoused]

Nope disagree

Anderson had a good night but during the course of their careers they arent even close. Kane has 269 goals and 516 points. Anderson has 97 goals and 163 points.

Kane has been okay to this point but he has another level he hasnt found this year yet.

 

[MessierII]

Couple reasons. For one they probably aren’t. Second Jesse really isn’t that far off from doing the same thing with a better all around game.

 

[McDoused]

I mean the obvious answer is we need those assets and cap space for defence and goaltending.

 

[Magnum23]

Vaxxed or not, I have no interest in seeing Archibald ever play for the Oilers again. He should have been shipped out in the summer for pissing away a playoff game because he was mad Logan Stanley slashed his stick.

not an Archibald fan but hard to blame that entire game on him.

not giving up Holloway for a 27 year old who could be on the decline in about 1.5 seasons. Don’t need a Lucic/Kass 2.0 situation

 

[Ritchie Valens]

FFS.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

No idea if Archibald is going to play this year. However the non-vaccination status is a headache to try to shoehorn a player who can't likely play every game with cross border travel. I'd probably be inclined to test drive a cheaper, bigger Brad Malone ($1.5 million vs. $750,000) who can also play centre/wing.

If healthy, Archibald might, maybe, possibly ... have a bit of value to an American team looking for a character, veteran energy player. Try to get an asset, any asset and move on if that's available.
