Thread: how did I do
Terrible, horrendous, this sucks! No I’m just joking with you, I would never say that. In reality, I will try my best to give some constructive criticism.

First of all, the bonus. I like it that you have included this here, as a lot of people who make oilers posts do not do so. We would need a backup, as you know, I’m thinking we resign Pickard, and himself, and Rodrigue will fight for the roster spot. The loser will of course go to the AHL to tandem with Ungar. If Henrique is coming back to Edmonton, we will not need Gaudreau, as a guy like Perry, Lavoie, or Kane will take that RW spot. I would like to get a top 6 forward still, to play with Draisaitl, and Pionk doesn’t cut it imo. He’s not good enough defensively to play with Nurse. Instead, I would look at getting one of Matt Roy, Dylan DeMelo, or Alex Carrier from free agency, or a good guy via trade.

Have a great one!

Thread: Complete list of what Id offer for various goalies
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>Lot of people forget how cheap Georgie is comparatively for a starter playing that many games behind a team who this season have been pretty atrocious defensively imo (which is odd considering the D corps is pretty much the same as the cup winning one or was to start the year at any rate....I really wonder how much EJ's leadership has been missed there but that's another conversation). He's no Vasi etc but he's decent enough IF your team plays at least some effective D in front of him. Agreed on the 'add *x* and you're sorted so we want an egregious overpay for them' mentality. There's also the reverse as well, as we're seeing with some Avs fans with Georgie. 'He's c**p! Trade him for a bag of doritos and a used jock strap!' Always seems to be one extreme or the other lol.</div></div>

Virtually no goalie is a guarantee short term.

My thought process is cheaper, but still good goalies, short term if you want to go for that approach.

Or the other option is to get a young stud (those are very expensive tho). And even they won't guarantee you top goaltending every year. You're still hoping the goalies highs line up with the teams highs.
