That Holloway trade is horrible for Edmonton

We need a goalie. Like a real one.

MTL jump on that trade

Two words: Free Agency

Holloway and a 2nd for a awful goalie?

Even without the 2nd, MTL cant refuse.

Awful goalie is completely false, but this is certainly an awful trade for Edmonton.

Easy to say. I'm pretty sure EDM tried this plan for many years and showed it was a repeated failure.

The goalie market this year is solid. Ullmark, Driedger, Grubauer

Even if they can't get a goalie in free agency, Varlamov, Kuemper, MAF, Merzlikins, Khudobin all could be available via trade

Assuming that rfas Marody and Benson are signed, Benson, Marody and Lagesson are all better Seattle picks...

The trades and expansion pick for Seattle are all horrible

Tbh, Youd need to add Neal and remove the second. Then MTL would have to add a guy like Drouin half retain

I wouldn’t trade anything more than a 4th for kassian

Really not much of a upgrade from koski and that says a lot

Unavailable:Grubaeur, MAF, Merzlikins
Worst than Allen: Khudobin, Driedger, Ullmark.You could add Rittich, Reimer and Mrazek.

Good luck putting a more enticing package for Varlamov or Kuemper than BUF, BOS, ARZ, CAR, CHI, DET, SJ, NSH, etc... All lovely places

Yet, for some reason, most MON ACGMs have Seattle taking someone other than Allen....

Oilers will hold koski until atleast the trade deadline. They are making the playoffs regardless of who their goalie is.

People often forget the pacific is going to be the worst division next year. Cali teams and Seattle ain't making the playoffs and the Oilers are better than the flames and Canucks as well.

Holloway is close to untouchable. He'll be playing on McDavids wing come playoff time.

... Because they want to keep him. Classic fanbase move, willing to give away their useless goods like Kulak and Drouin😂

Khudobin driedger ullmark and mrazek are worse then allen…? Actually I’ll maybe give him mrazek but it’s probably close

What on earth are you talking about? He has much better stats than Koskinen, whether you look at basic or advanced stats.

Don't forget the awful free agent contracts.

All of those goalies have huge questions marks. Wouldn't give any of them more than a 1yr deal.

So does Allen..

Agreed. Allen will always be a decent backup.
