<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>Koskinen + Allen vs. Koskinen + Smith
Not Koskinen vs. Allen

Koskinen wasn't good in the playoffs. Smith hasn't won a playoff game with Edmonton. Factoring in Smith's age, injuries, and performance this season, do you want him as your plan B for a deep playoff run?
Koskinen is already a risk given his previous post season results. If he falters can Smith handle 20ish consecutive starts and remain healthy?
Skinner is inexperienced and a last resort. By the time you need to use him, you're likely on the verge of elimination.

Allen at least has experience, can handle a lot of starts, is younger, and less susceptible to injury.
There are other options, but I wouldn't want to go into the playoffs with what Edmonton currently has.</div></div>

Allen is terrible so why give up good assets for a below average back up? And he's hurt anyways so hard pass.

Sujet: Oilers TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>I don’t think Holland will trade Smith. I believe he will retire in the off-season, but for the remainder of this one, Koskinen, Smith may be our goalie tandem. I hope he gets a goalie, but I only see that happening if Smith retires now, or he stays on LTIR and retires in the off-season. I don’t think we should get Hinostroza even though he is good… we should target a top 4 RHD in my opinion at this deadline. Also, there is better goalies with term, or in free agency that we could get instead of giving Ottawa a second for Forsberg.</div></div>

I'd would like to see them get an upgrade on D as well but I don't see it happening, sounds like the prices are too high for the assets the Oilers have to give up. I personally like the idea of Hinostroza, he can play a physical game in the middle 6 and give you some offence, plus he's good on the PK. I'd like to see them get someone better in goal with term but I think this is the most realistic, Forsberg can easily walk and likely will in the off season, maybe they get him for less but I think it could work out.
