Friedman: 'Wouldn't be surprised if Flames are interested in OEL and Kuemper'

[Jormungandr]

Friedman has since done another radio hit where he’s now reporting Calgary has looked at OEL. No longer his own speculation.

Even if a trade doesn’t happen it doesn’t make him a hack.

Boy, hope not. Neither of those guys will be worth the cost of keeping or getting.

That said, OEL could use a change of scenery.

 

[Volica]

Gaudreau going the other way?

And with that, Brad Treliving never managed a team again.

I can't believe some of the posts in this thread. Gaudreau or Monahan for OEL? just lol

In 2 years, OEL's contract will be seen as one of, if not the worst in the league. He isn't young. He no longer pushes possession, and that's a sign of a player already on the downturn of his career.

If the Coyotes are trading OEL, they should get nothing of value in return at best.

That's a pretty weak assessment. OEL is definitely no spring chicken but 2 years? Maybe in 5, I suspect OEL's problems have more to do with RT than being 29.

If us Coyotes fans felt we were getting a new coach we wouldn't be looking to move OEL, just to strip the C off his sweater but a lot of us suspect RT is here for at least another year. Go watch replays of our season, even when we were winning in the first half of the year. We don't have a system in place and other teams use that to walk all over us. That's a coaching issue and reports say OEL and RT are like oil and water. That's why OEL looks like donkey doodoo, not because he's 29.

Crowded market for sure but Kuemper has been the best goalie in the NHL since Jan 2019, both in GAA and SV%.

Too bad its wins that actually mean something. I get Kuemper has been good, but I don't see a team paying "best goalie in the league" prices for Kuemper.

 

[Mosby]

Not Kuemper's fault the rest of the team is shit.

Think OEL to the Rangers would make total sense.

Kuemper, he should get traded to Edmonton or Buffalo. But this is an interesting off-season for goalies.

Maybe some sort of 3-way trade? OEL to NYR, Kuemper to CGY futures to ARI? Could be interesting
