...and Edmonton.

Of course, Edmonton has no goalies signed for next year.
A small detail...

Do they have any signed for this year?

Do they have any signed for this year?

The same tandum from last year. Both on expiring contracts

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I should’ve added a smiley face.

Carter hart will be an Oiler.

 

[axlsalinger]

Oilers just traded for Connor Ingram. Cratered last year, but has shown some promise in the past.

He is so good that Utah is paying a large chunk of his salary simply to get rid of him.

 

[MindzEye]

He's might be better than Pickard, but unless his confidence is full on shattered now, he's not better than Skinner.

But, 3 below average goalies is better than 1. You only need one to get hot at the right time.

If you add all the 4/10 goalies with the 6/10 goalie you have a 14/10 goalie.

 

[Habspatrol]

Even with shit goaltending they've made the finals in back-to-back seasons. McDavid probably feels that he has a good chance at winning a Cup in Edmonton.

 

[WellPlayed]

Or he feels like he dragged them there and would have multiple cups already somewhere else.

 

[MindzEye]

Maybe. But this is probably the worst Oilers team of the 3 on paper. The core is older and appear to be on the wrong side of their peak. The additions over the last ~year (Frederic, Mangiapane, Podkolzin, Kapanen) are 3rd-4th liners at best and pretty significant downgrades from Kane, Foegele & McLeod.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

didnt they give Frederic 8 years or some such?

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Or he feels like he dragged them there and would have multiple cups already somewhere else.

Only if that somewhere else was Florida.

 

[MindzEye]

didnt they give Frederic 8 years or some such?

At 3.85 million.

Yes.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

At 3.85 million.

Yes.

WHy?

Explain yourself!

 

[MindzEye]

WHy?

Has potential to be an elite goaltender though

they dumped their vet trash from last year

They fucked up royally keeping them and not retaining Broberg and Holloway on the cheap

 

[Artnes]

Even with shit goaltending they've made the finals in back-to-back seasons. McDavid probably feels that he has a good chance at winning a Cup in Edmonton.

Then why continue to delay signing? Money and term are not an issue so why drag this out if he didn't have some concerns about the present and future.

Do the Kaprizov dance and ink term

You control the process if you want to leave , you point your finger and a trade is done with any team in 5 minutes

Take your bag and reduce any possible risk of injury , etc....

The future is unknown and nobody predicted covid or other factors that maybe in play
