Sujet: Goalie Swap
Doesn't make sense for the Oilers to take on the remaining years of Mrazeks deal.

Oilers need a starter. Mrazek, Smith, and Koskinen are not that. None of them are reliable at this point. So the Oilers are better off letting Koskinens deal run out and build the goalie tandem in the offseason from scratch. Skinner is all but guaranteed the backup role as he is no longer waiver exempt. Given that, the Oilers will look at making a deal for a legitimate starter. If (and likely when given Hollands trade record) that doesn't work, we will look at the free agent options (which there aren't many great options). If free agency also fails, then maybe they look to pry a 1B level goalie from a team with cap troubles.

If the best availible option is Mrazek, the Oilers are in a lot of trouble.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bringer_Of_Snow</b></div><div>Not saying Toffoli isn't worth a 1st, but not from the Oilers. On the absolute bottom of our list of needs is a middle 6 winger. If they move a 1st rounder, its for a atop 4 LHD or a starting goalie.

Similar argument for the Allen deal. Given the number of 2nd/3rd round picks Holland has flushed the last few seasons, I don't want to see him move more valuable picks without addressing a need. Allen is a good backup goalie, which we don't need. Neither of these deals address Oilers needs</div></div>
I know it's not a need, but Toffoli for 2.5 years at $2.2M is worth a 1st for me. I'd do it and use other assets to address the 3LD and 3C needs (starting goalie is NOT a need this year) - both of which might be filled internally anyhow.

Easy NO for the Allen trade. Seriously, Habs fans need to a) check out the Oilers goaltenders stats and b) try to use a tiny bit of imagination to come up with another way to dump Allen.

Sujet: Younger team next year
Yamamoto has done nothing to earn a contract more than 1.5 million and in fact I don’t see him as a top 6 player in a couple years. You would also hope that Puljujarvi’s contract starts with a five. I don’t put him at a higher level than Zach Hyman right now and he still has 2 RFA years which would be used to mortgage things down. Trading away Kassian would be stupid move considering how well that line is doing right now and how well their style fits the playoffs. McLeod didn’t even crack the roster this year what is with the huge pay bump? You have McLeod earning more than Derek Ryan and jj Khaira before they said they wouldn’t pay him anymore than about 950k. Smith is not going anywhere and putting Konovalov on the team before skinner is not well thought out, neither is bringing up Broberg till he is about 22 years old. Dimo samorukov will be on Edmonton’s roster as LD before Broberg is.
