Rooting for the Oilers and whoever plays the fLames since the Berlin Wall was still a thing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eberles_Backcheck</b></div><div>25 - 30 quality goalies? And who exactly are those? Can you name your Top 10??
Realistically. I can't see Rask Binnington, Grubauer reaching UFA... They are all on contending teams. They will re sign.
So who are you targetting after that? You're not signing a 38 year old Rinne, Dubnyk isn't coming here.
Your main options are Anderson (do you want do commit long term to a 31 year old Anderson?) Driedger (my preference) Raanta (injury troubles) and Ullmark (I don't mind this) and maybe Mrazek.

Am I missing the other 20 goalies you're thinking of?</div></div>

Look at the top thirty names, there are probably twenty quality names.

As I said in my post not all will make it to free agency but that's a hell of a year for UFA goalies.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>reelkena</b></div><div>I watched him play. He panicked a ton, turned the puck over and looked lost. Probably saw 10 games last season. Maybe that's not enough but I know I don't want him. Looked like Tyler Myers out there.

Edit: I checked his numbers. Last seasons numbers were not great even if his relative is ok. This season is 9 games which isn't enough for me.</div></div>

He's an excellent young defenseman. Don't sleep on him. Not saying that because he's on our team. Saying so because I've watched this team at their worst and he's exactly what we've been pining for. He's as good as Barrie, now.

Were the games you watched from the beginning of last year? He had a slow start and got better, then regressed a bit and then took off. So meandered a bit. You know, as rookies do.

Sujet: Maybe habs can retain some of price salary
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ABOVEAVERAGEHOCKEYFAN</b></div><div>This trade wouldn't appeal to either team, Petry would be a great addition to Edmonton's blue line and a massive upgrade from Nurse, but I don't see this trade going through because of Prices contract (Petry's contract could also be a turn off for Oilers due to his age and the term on his deal). Price is highly skilled but he is essentially a $7 mil backup goalie (With the retained salary) and Edmonton would probably want a good middle six forward in place of him to temporary replace nuge. I also don't see why the Canadians would need another top six forward (on an expiring deal) and would want to swap Petry (who is in the Norris conversation through the first 1/4 of the season) for a 2nd pairing defensman.</div></div>

Holy hot take alert.

This trade is not a fit for either team for many reasons, but none of which were listed in your post.

Nurse is unequivocally in the Norris race, he's absolutely demolishing the competition this year. And he's just entering his prime, not about to exit like Petry (whom MacT should never have traded, but it lead to Connor, so... bygones). Not to mention we don't need another top four RHD without shipping one out as we already have four on the roster.

Middle six player to replace Nuge? LOL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SweetRevenge19</b></div><div>Tampa already had Stamkos and Hedman when Yzerman came in. They weren’t picking in top 10 and the timeline was ahead of where we’re at. Neal only has two years. It won’t matter for us. And that’s exactly my point, we’re terrible with Mantha and terrible without. He’s a good player with his prime years getting wasted, better to ship him off for a player that better lines up with our timeline.</div></div>

And yet it took beyond Yz's tenure for TBY to win. They built that team through the draft.

Holland took over in EDM closer to contention than Yz did in TBY. I doubt Stevie is going to try to jumpstart the Wings by trading away core talent to bump up their draft order. He built a perennial contender in TB with astute picks in the mid to late rounds. He values a winning culture and scouting acumen. So the chances of him losing a trade of a quality player like Mantha for the likes of Neal+ to improve draft ranking is less than slim to none. It's not like he traded Stamkos or St. Louis at the peak of their powers for 10 cents on the dollar. He extracted the bulk of almost every player's value before winning the trade that sent them away. Except maybe Gudas, and that's barely a blemish on his record.

Not comparable to this trade at all.

I well remember how it played out at the time. Hasek was still The Dominator. Though he is more the exception than the rule as far as Holland's history with goaltenders. Wonder if he finds a way to circle back to Mrazek just for old time's sake.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>You aren't trading for Gibson 4-5 years ago though. Looking at recent history there's nothing he's better at than Koskinen - and he's faced fewer shots and fewer dangerous shots.</div></div>

I'll take Woodguy's parsing of fancy stats over yours.
