<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bobcaygeon97</b></div><div>This is just me, it’s my opinion and it may not be worth much. Having said that, I have to many questions about Husso, would Oilers be buying a goalie who got hot for a year? He’s really not proven like the goalies you mentioned, Kuemper being the goalie I’d go for.
Then, as you also mentioned Gibson and even Soupy Campbell all proven.
As for Foggy, I’d like to see a Soucy trade or similar type player like Sissons or go after Labanc (might have to add a prospect) I think Foggy just needs a different team but he’s a good player certainly worth a player in return. I don’t see any prospects the Oilers have that can move into his spot next season either.</div></div>

Yeah after making this team I have started to think prioritizing Kuemper is a solid choice. Like you said idk if Avs will sign him back, if if/when they win the cup. I feel like knowing COL they will make a big splash in the market for a goalie this off season, will be a questionable signing or trade for them, but it will pay off like always lol. So I was thinking about this too... Do you think Soucy becomes negligible if you sign Kulak back? Having both of them would be awesome, but there might just be no point to that hey? I would love to hear what Bob Stauffer has to say on how they are going to have more cap space than we think lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bobcaygeon97</b></div><div>Let’s be realistic here, that’s almost more than what Eichel was traded for Tuch - Krebs - 1st &amp; 2nd

JP was 4th overall plus 2 more 1st round picks I’m guessing not lottery protected &amp; you want to throw in another 1st round pick in Holloway?
Oilers walk away.
FYI, the player you want to be asking for isn’t Holloway it’s Xavier Bourgault.</div></div>

No probs, we don't want Cat to move and yes the expectation is minimum Eichel price if not more. We don't want to sell just as we didn't want to sell Hagel but if an offer comes along that makes us go "we can't say no" then it should be looked at.

Where JP was picked doesn't mean anything, Strome was picked above him and has better ppg, they are both RFA this off season and there is a chance neither starts next season with their respective teams.

The late 1sts don't entice us enough to part with a 24yo elite goalscorer in the league who can play in all situations.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeneralLandro</b></div><div>There is absolutely no reason for Anaheim to trade anything here in this deal</div></div>

I'd be curious to understand why you so hastily came to that conclusion.

Both Klefbom and Smith have insured deals and the Ducks are looking to be a cap floor team. Based on the going rates for these kinds of deals, Lavoie as a project prospect fits the slight add Edmonton would be expected to make. The stingy Ducks owners can see their team hit the cap floor while spending pennies on the dollar to do so. That makes complete sense to me.

By way of <a href="https://bluebulletreport.com/2020/10/05/2020-nhl-draft-rankings/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">draft pick values</a>, the Ducks make out with positive value gained from moving their three picks up into the first round. As I mention in the description, if this is expected to be a weaker class, then Anaheim should prioritize pick quality over pick quantity. Save the need for quantity of picks for the 2023 class.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bobcaygeon97</b></div><div>Foegele has more value on the open market than that.

No way does Bromberg play ahead of Subban

Husso is at least 5M with 10 teams going after him, 4 million doesn’t get you into the conversation.</div></div>

I appreciate the comments. Would like to get your thoughts on this... What would Foegele warrant in a trade where we just want to receive picks? Are you thinking he gets a third rounder?

Also in an ideal world they could play the 11 &amp; 7 system they used for a good chunk of the year, and then that way you could roll broberg and Subban? Broberg will need to get some TOI to start seeing that NHL play.

I would only feel comfortable signing Husso at $4.5M max... If more, I would go look at someone like Kuemper with a larger sample size... TBH I think Colorado moves on from Kuemper and goes for someone like a Gibson or Bob...
