Post Bob and Panarin Jackets

Oilers aren’t looking to trade for a goalie especially one that will be a free agent in July. That’s a huge overpayment as well for Bobrovsky.

Playoff bubble team with GAA in the bottom 10 in the NHL isn't looking to upgrade in net? Peter Chiarelli? Is that you?

As for the overpayment? You get: Perennial Vezina finalist having a down year in which he clearly isn't happy (Heck, you could probably re-sign him long term at a reasonable price at this point).
They get: Top prospect who is still very much a project at this point, a mid second round pic and a 3rd rounder in 2020.

I mean, maybe something like the 2nd is conditional on resigning him, but I would jump at this if I were Edmonton.

edm says no. needs to be a dumb 1 for 1 they loose

Ya Edmonton has lots of holes but koskinen has been more than adequate this year. Look at his numbers. Oilers need to upgrade their wingers before goaltending. Your trade just doesn’t make sense we’re not gonna give away picks in a move that won’t make us significantly better. What are they gonna do have 3 goalies? It’s a good thing your’re not running this team.

I enjoyed the snarky comment at the end there...you're right, thank god it's Peter Chiarelli in charge...

"Adequate" is almost the perfect term for Koskinen, especially for such a well oiled playoff machine like the Oilers. Those are league average numbers, he's a UFA at the end of the season, and this is most likely his ceiling. Talbot? Also a UFA at the end of the season, and his numbers have consistently dropped off over the past 4 years. Bobrovky if you can get him with an extension? The same age or younger than both of your current guys, is a perennial Vezina candidate having a down season, which really presents itself as a buy-low opportunity. As for your "What are they gonna do, have 3 goalies?" comment? If you're that concerned, send him and the remainder of his deal to Columbus. He has absolutely no value right now anyway, and you'll shed the remaining $1.5ish mil from your cap this year.
