Have you been paying any attention to MAF this season? Or Koskinen?

Koskinen > Fleury

Russell > Chara

I've said it on like 50 posts this week. Neither Fleury or Koskinen are solutions in goal past this season. So you ride with whoever is playing better. Albeit only 10 games into the season, but that honour goes to Koski in a land slide.

Not to mention due to how obsessed Tipp is with Smithy, can't imagine he's going to be on board with Smitty potentially losing a job

The Chara idea is nice, can't really pick a better veteran than him for LHD. But although I haven't seen him this season, he was incredibly slow from what I saw the past few years. I'm just a little concerned about that, I think in a perfect world, we get a 2nd pairing caliber LHD who plays a hard physical game. Im not really sure who is available though.

Its still early, so don't want to make any assumptions, but the way the Foegele-Ryan-Kassian line has played, it would be really difficult to break them up. Ryan has really surprised me this season. If they keep it up, I feel like getting Geztlaf just to put him on the 4th line is a waste. I think he is ideal for the 3C spot. Maybe as the season goes on, we get some looks with Foegele/Ryan/Kass split up, and they all continue their strong play seperated. If you pushed Ryan to play with Shore and Perlini, Foegele-Getzlaf-Kassian sounds lethal. A 2nd is probably fair value.

You seriously going on record to say Kosk is better than Fleury.....?

There is absolutely no chance CHI accept this.

Yeah, no thanks from Chicago.

Well Fleury has been pretty awful this year and Koskinen has been really good... I'm not saying Flower is bad but the Oilers aren't going to trade the guy who's been playing amazing for them for a 35 year old in a slump. Also, the Oilers defence is nothing like Vegas, and can Flower bounce back behind it?
