Thread: Which Goalie is gonna Work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Being realistic let’s narrow the list by
1- remove anyone with clauses that has only played in the states history unfortunately strongly suggests those are in place to prevent a move to Canadian city.
2- remove anyone with term because let’s face it smith is here till his deal expires and skinner must be on the team next year.
3- remove anyone that is unlikely to be moved because playing a big role for playoff team looking at husso there.
When go threw this process think it becomes clear the pool is much shallower than most suggest when saying oilers need to do something in net. There isn’t any clear “upgrade” I’d say smith and skinner provides the most realistic and best tandem down the stretch if kosk gets moved to facilitate a trade to bolster the d or depth scoring.</div></div>

I guess my thinking is this. You are right on all accounts, however, there is always a price to which these things can change. Like. Say Husso for example. At a certain point, if the offer is good enough, STL still makes that trade.

As for the NMC American stuff, Canada's restrictions for Covid are all starting to lift now, so I feel like players may soften their stances on that. As well as, McDavid factor may sway some people to a degree as far as the Oilers being a potential contender. Last night against the Lightning be a prime example of, if the Oilers had the goaltending, the beat one of the NHL's elite...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>I feel like you are basing you opinion of Allen on his and the teams play before the coaching change. Would you have even believed for a second that Montembeault was capable of playing lights out hockey before the change? I wouldn't have and I would have waived him long ago if ot weren't for us needing a goalie. Now I wouldn't trade him for anything less than a 2nd or 3rd and even that is debatable depending on how Allen plays behind the rejuvenated team. We potentially have a Star starter (Price) a good NHL tandem 1B (Allen) and a very good NHL backup (Montembeault). Even if we do trade Allen our goalie depth would not be depleted. Allen is due back before the TDL so we will see how many games he gets in and if his play also has picked up.</div></div>

TBH I think you essentially agreed with everything I said. Haha. His numbers are bad because of how bad MTL has been. But he also isnt a legit starter. thats Price.
