Betting on another "question mark" goalie? Just pay for Saros or don't bother IMO.

Not confirmed, but some speculation I've listened to (radio so take it for what it is); have suggested Saros may cost 2 firsts alone.
If youre moving Campbell (required to fit Jusse) thats costing 3+ firsts. Too rich imo.

Blackwood fits many checkboxes.
-Elite potential
-Some actual resume
-If you watch SJS he's been their best player, which EDM saw and many other teams have as well which is why although SJS should keep him his name is being floated.
-hes been unreal in SJS who looks like an ECHL team sometimes, so he's already used to having a poor team infront of him.
- Hes 26 years old and costs 2 m and 2 years

It will cost a kings ransom, but it makes the only sense to me based on how poorly its gone betting on goalies.

Blackwood just feels like the best "available" option.

Might be time to get really creative by getting value and cap space moving Ekholm.

That's real tough to swallow, gotta get D back, maybe look at dealing with the rival's down the road. They've got a bunch of D for sale and will need D back.

I say maybe move Ceci and Kulak and replace with one D from SJS (wont cost much, I say Burroughs, "youngish" and a decent depth 3rd pair guy whos tough) - but Idk where they get their 2nd. They cant move Ekholm (hes too good/ upside), Bouch (obvious) and Nurse (impossible). I think this team I've created looks really good and if Lindholm would consent to a RNH type deal like I've suggested, he can cover alot of defensive lapses.

Can anyone explain why the Oilers let Brown reach his bonus clause when it was this obviously he ain't even worth $1 million bucks, let alone $4 million> ?
