<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>They probably won't, but most will be singing a different tune when Zucker puts up 20+ goals this year.</div></div>

Nashville is rebuilding. Couldn’t care less how many goals Zucker puts up. It doesn’t make sense to trade a 23 year oldtop 4 RHD for a soon to be 30 year old winger. We aren’t in win now mode so it doesn’t make any sense to mortgage futures for short term gain. If we lose Forsberg, we still have Tolvanen, Tomasino, Kunin, and Duchene on wings to fill in top 6 with Afanasyev just begging to get a shot.

Also to one of the points in the headline, what forwards are we losing? Grimaldi? Cousins? Who cares about them. There are tons of bottom 6 forwards available and many of the predators fan wanted Atleast one of those two waived to start the season. Forsberg is the only one that’d hurt but that’s business for you. Hopefully he gets traded and we get some picks. Either way we have players to backfill. They won’t be as good as he is right now but oh well.

Sujet: Goalies oilers should target this deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Gibson, Korpisalo, and Georgiev aren't good goalies though, so their age is irrelevant. If age is the primary factor then the Oilers are set as they can just move their prospects up: Konovalov (23), Skinner (22) and Rodrigue (21) are all younger than the guys you mentioned.


Both Skinner and Konovalov are quality prospects, and Rodrigue has upside too. Smith is .953 so far this after putting up a fantastic season last year. There's no reason at all to be making trades at this point, so Holland won't be.</div></div>

Well one bad game and Smith is down to 0.920. It’s way too early in the season to be heralding sv%. One of those “not good” goalies (Gibson) is sitting at 0.961 sv% after 2 games. Another (Korpisalo) is sitting at 0.953 sv% after 1 game. Outside of last season, Gibson has had a better sv% than Smith in every season from 2016 to now. Smith also has a history of Lower body injuries.

33 goalies have played 95 games since start 2018-19 season.

Sv% ranking
Gibson is 18th - 0.910
Koskinen is 19th - 0.909
Smith is 24th - 0.907
Korpisalo is 30th - 0.902

Georgiev didn’t play enough in that timeframe but his career sv% is 0.911. Which would put him right there with Gibson and Koskinen.

Both Georgiev and Gibson are younger and thus more likely to last a couple of years to bridge the gap till your prospects are ready and then you don’t have to follow the great tradition of trial by fire. I guess we will see at the end of the season, but it’s just my opinion that setting your hopes of getting the cup on a 39 year old goalie with a history of injuries and has provided below average goaltending over the past 3 seasons (and that’s even including a near career best season) is not a smart idea while you have several great player in prime years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Gibson, Korpisalo and Georgiev would be relegated to the AHL if traded for as they aren't as good as Smith or Koskinen, so those aren't options at all.

Saros and Jarry aren't available.

So that leaves just Khudobin and Greiss. Meh.

Remind me why you're even looking at goaltending? The Oilers duo combined for a .9123 save percentage - only 3 teams did better than that. If anything you should be looking to sort out the defense.</div></div>

Gibson, Korpisalo, and Georgiev all have one thing on Smith…. Age. Smith is 39. He’s also the only reason that tandem had a .9123 sv% last season. He put up a Vezina quality season but he’s 39. He’s gonna retire shortly and the floor could fall out on him at anytime. Goalies very rarely put up that kind of quality goaltending at his age.

Don’t get me wrong they should also be looking at defense but they’ve got the prospects that should fix that long term coming up. I just don’t see a Goalie in their prospects that can a NHL starter in 2 seasons

Sujet: One big trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>I feel the second and third cover the retention, broberg and a first probably gets Forsberg. Need to add for ekholm and kassian is negative value to the preds. Would probably have to do a couple of other shrewd moves to make the cap space, one I could think of is trading koskinen to Detroit for a half retained Greiss, need to add a second or equivalent for that deal. Could include Turris and get gagner back for extra savings with an added late round pick or something. Still need to give up more for ekholm and I just don't think Edmonton has the assets to do it, nor should they as they would be pretty barren in the cupboard.</div></div>

Gotta agree here for the most part. I think Edmonton could also add Lavoie and that might make it worth it to Nashville.

The question is would this be worth it to Edmonton to deplete their prospects for assets they may not be able to keep? Unless Keith retires at season end and Klefbom stays on LTIR, I don't see how they could afford to extend Forsberg + Ekholm. I guess if Edmonton won the cup it wouldn't matter as much but that goaltending needs some fixing. Good looking lineup though

Sujet: Final Opening Night Lineup Predictions for NSH
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mdonalson00</b></div><div>Very true, and I'd like to see that youth movement like I said. I just hope Poile holds on to Fil and Ekholm. They are key pieces to this team, and trading those guys by the deadline means no more "competitive rebuild" that he's talked about recently, in my opinion. Especially Filip Forsberg. Of course they could get all kinds of assets for him, but he's 27 years old and easily our best goal scorer.</div></div>

Moving on from Ekholm would be best in my opinion. He’s entering the point in his career where dmen really begin to regress. Forsberg… I still tend towards trade simply because I don’t think this is going to be a cup competitive team for Atleast 2-3 seasons which puts Forsberg near 30…. But due to him being younger now I’d be fine with extending him.

Forsberg a injury history also gives me pause. Not sure how well he’s going to age

Sujet: Opening lines I want
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>What happened to Cousins? I can't see them sending him down -- he's had a good camp and looks like a lock for the starting roster. And if they want to move him, he'd probably be easier to trade than either Boro or Grimaldi.

I'm unsure that Tomasino makes the team based on his camp thus far. And I can't see Boro not being on the team to start the year.

Will be interesting to see what they do with Ingram -- especially given Pitlick was just claimed.</div></div>

Right now I think Tomasino makes it. He’s been given a stable spot next to glass for a lot of the camp. Afanasyev has been shuffled around and was just tried out on the fourth line. I think he’ll be first callup.

Olivier is waiver exempt and gets sent down while cousins probably tags in wherever afanasyev is slotted in this roster.

If Ingram gets waived he’s gone. Right now he’s had a better camp than Rittich. They aren’t going to waive Rittich but I can see us carrying 3 goalies until ingram can claim the backup role from Rittich. Rittich was a good move in the off-season due to how Ingram played last year but Ingram seems to be back to normal

Sujet: Potential Look at the End of the Year
ultimately I don't see these players on the team at the end of the season:

Rittich, Cousins, Grimaldi, Benning, Boroweicki. What they'll return will ultimately depend on how they play during the year. Right now with how the preseason is going, I'm about ready to just gamble with Ingram and waive Rittich but that'd likely blow up in my face... at the same time, we aren't exactly cup contenders this season so *shrug*. Boroweicki was bad last season but he was dealing with concussion issues (or atleast some other medical issue). Cousins and Grimaldi are probably mid round picks 3rd-4th rounds. Benning is really cheap defensive depth probably in the realm of a 4th-5th.

The elephants in the room: Forsberg and Ekholm.... I think we should trade him now tbh. We aren't in a win now cup mode and by the time we are he's gonna be nearing decline (especially given his injury history). Get a good return. I kindof like the devil's return.

Ekholm keeps saying all the right things about wanting to stay in Nashville but.... he's 30...and just like with Forsberg we should get what we can for him. Bolduc is a good prospect just not sure how big of a need he is with Farrance, Davies, Del Gaizo, and Chistyakov in the pipeline. Probably wouldn't be bad to go ahead and get another good d prospect though.

All in all, I think the moves are all pretty decent. Would like to squeeze more out of the islanders deal but it's acceptable.

Afanasyev has made a great impression at camp. Playing in the KHL last season seems to of really helped his development. I think his play is just about demanding that he get a look at the start of the season. I think he's outplayed Tomasino tbh (and i'm a huge Tomasino fan). Jeannot made a great impression as well. I think it's time to give Novak some NHL time too.

I'd also like to trade Sissons but that's another story.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Interesting point on Ingram. I wouldn't normally be worried about that, but there are a few teams in need of a goaltender -- ARI, BUF, or potentially even NJD given Blackwood's vaccination status. Tricky situation.</div></div>

Yeh Buffalo scares me in that way. Right now their tandem of dell and Anderson played a combined 11 games last season. That number doesn’t change much if luukkonen takes the starting role. Dell had 7 games last year with terrible stats. Anderson is 40 and played 4 games last season with ok numbers. Luukkonen had 4 nhl games with mediocre stats and his ahl numbers weren’t great either. I could see them taking a swing with Ingram just because they don’t have much to lose.
