uh...
Wallstedt???
I like Wallstedt - and he is the best goaltender in the upcoming draft - but unless Edmonton is going to gamble the same way Pittsburgh did with Fleury, it's likely that even he's 2-3 years out from playing NHL games, never mind being a full-time starter. Cossa is really good and does a lot of technical things right, but given his CHL path, yeah he's absolutely a long-term piece suited more for a team just entering a rebuild or halfway through one.
Neither are solutions for the Oilers right now.

Trading Broberg is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever seen.
No it's not, trading two high picks for Griffen Reinhart is.
Broberg can be traded: Nurse has shown year-over-year progress and might actually finally be ready to take on that "Pronger-lite" title he's been touted with since his draft season. If Klefbom comes back healthy, Edmonton has a decent left side in their top-4. The competition for the #3LD slot will boil down to Jones, Samorukov, maybe Lagesson seeing how high the organization is on him, or an external candidate. Broberg might be the most moveable piece Edmonton has right now besides their next two first round picks if they want any legitimate long-term solution in net. The right side is still somewhat shallow beyond Bear and Bouchard: moving those two should be off the table in any capacity.
I'll agree that pairing Broberg and a first for Kuemper is a very, very stupid trade. That kind of package needs to be part of something to acquire the Gibson-tier level goaltenders.
