Thread: Big swing Hart is probably gone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lowblocksniper</b></div><div>Honestly didn't check their organizational goalie depth but, this is more about getting what looks to be a clear #1and Replace the starting goalie that probs out for a while
The 1st will be late since it's the Panthers own 1st rounder of this years draft</div></div>

honestly this season is a surprise in the first place, I love our team but there is absolutely no guarantee this level of play continues into next year, I'd rather not trade that 1st and use it either in acquiring either a young forward or just using it in the draft, Ersson is a fine starter for the rest of the season and between either trading for a cheap backup or just sticking with Petersen or Sandstrom, I don't think we need to trade for a #1 guy (ignoring the fact that Knight hasn't played in the NHL for almost a year)

I highly recommend looking into our Goaltending prospects because we are surprisingly stacked, Kolosov: who is supposed to turn pro next year and has looked great in the KHL, Zavragin: who is currently on pace to break save percentage records in the VHL and maybe even the MHL, and Bjarnason: who while not preforming the greatest this season was one of the top ranked NA goalies in last years draft

Thread: What should be the plan for the goaltending situation in Philly going forward
Honestly, don't trade for a goalie unless they are cheap, The flyers goaltending prospects have skyrocketed in the last couple years

Alexei Kolosov - KHL 0.904sv% (0.925 in last 4), 2.41GAA, 3 Shutouts, ELC already signed, supposed to turn pro next year
Yegor Zavragrin - VHL 0.953sv% (at this rate will break records in the VHL) 1.27GAA, 3 shutouts, 11-0-0 record - MHL 0.945sv% 1.63GAA 2 Shutouts, 6-1-2 record
Carson Bjarnason - WHL 0.901sv% 3.22GAA 1 Shutout 15-9-3 Record (stats don't look too good rn but he was ranked one of the top goalies in last years draft)

I really don't mind waiting for any of these guys especially with Kolosov in NA next year, Kolosov has the potential to be even better than Hart or Ersson, so for this season (baring any change in the current situation) I'd just stick with Ersson for starter and have one of Petersen or Sandstrom as the backup, unless you can get a decent backup for less than a 2nd

Thread: Oilers trade deadline w perry
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilersMcRockin</b></div><div>Frankly the Oilers don't need Walker LOL! They got Ceci who is perfectly fine, He has 12 assists and a Plus 9 rating this season, on track for 23 Pts and a Plus 18 rating. He is the best value dman on our team. Frankly if I'm the Oilers I wouldn't trade him straight up for Sean Walker because 1 you don't have to like I said, 2 because he is still under contract for another year, and 3 he is playing like he did, when he was when he had his 1st year with the Oilers. Overall, Ceci is perfectly fine for us.</div></div>

Do agree in General that the oilers probably won't trade for and don't need Walker, However I do think you are underrating Walker a bit, he's generally favorited in the advanced stats (especially xGA) and has only 1 less assist with 5 more goals

where I agree with you is that the Oilers likely view Walker and Ceci as a similar type of player, trading for a player to fill a role you've already filled is not good management, especially with, as you said, Ceci being under contract, along with the fact that Ceci has pretty good chemistry with Nurse and replacing him with Walker could definitely screw up the D-pairings if he doesn't gel with well with Nurse
