Trading lots of assets for Fleury is very dumb. He’s also really really old. If the oilers want to keep Connor around and have sustained success, you can’t keep relying on 35+ Year old goalies hoping they don’t drop off. See Mike Smith.

I like the Seattle deal.
Don’t hate the islanders deal but seems like a 1st for a bottom pairing dman even with Kassian contract is a bit much.
Philly deal is an overpay IMO. I dont think Sanheim is much of an impact player. A 1st, good prospect and Barrie seems high if you ask me. Maybe I don’t fully understand Sanheims game

Isles decline. It will cost at the very minimum a 1st withkut taking the terrible kassian deal for mayfield

I don't know about this one chief

Seattle probably goes for it. Not sure about Edmonton, but they are desperate enough to do it so they don;t make McD start feeling antsy. I would not hold my breath on the rest.

Mike Smith is older and boy did he look great last night against Flowers!

Not sure what your point is? Move valuable assets because a goalie played great against you?
Smith was incredible last year but Oilers fans rightfully wanted to upgrade going into this season but Holland couldn’t get it done. Now look at your goaltending.

Fleury is very clearly still a strong goalie. But how does it make sense for a struggling team like the oilers to move one of their few valuable assets to get a goalie who has 1 maybe 2 years left of good hockey in him? He’s also a UFA so no guarantee we get more than 15 games out of him. Not exactly sustainable. Skinner shows promising signs, but the oilers don’t exactly have a sure-thing in the pipeline. With limited free agent goalie available, we are way better off trading for a younger goalie even if it costs more

The intent is if the Oilers are trying or not to make a run this year. If they are, and that was stated with the acquisition of E Kane, then it makes all the sense to get a desperate upgrade in net as it is clearly a major weak point of the team.

Don't see E Kane and MAF getting along after last night.
