Fair, but that's a lot to fix from someone who's shown no indication he's even good enough to play at the AHL level. I'd feel more comfortable with DiPietro.

The pick we get will be like a 4th. What’s the point? Even with that cap we’d still only be in for around 7 million for both goalies next season if we go with Demko and DiPietro or Silovs. And yet, Halak has exactly 1 of the team's wins this year.

I'd feel more comfortable with DiPietro. he's had flashes. He's certainly not a starter solution, or one beyond this season. But if the Coilers were desperate to do something dumb like give us a 2nd and retain 1/2 on Koskinen you have to think about it - but with the huge caveat that Clark see's a quick fix. We only need him for about 8-10 games so lots of practice time with Ian. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a huge hit to the confidence that Bruce has managed to rebuild in the room. Koskinen also pulled a LE recently after being criticised by his coach for consistently playing like trash. He's not an update over any of the guys in Abbotsford and helping out a division rival like that would be a disaster in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's real desperation in the air - cough - Edmonton - you certainly need to listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway is a potential Kesler type player. You take this deal if it’s offered. Koskinen would get in like 7 games for the rest of the season as a backup. I doubt Edmonton would do the deal though. If all they’re getting back is a low salary goalie like Halak they don’t need to move Koskinen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 23 minutes ago, AV. said: He's a decent backup and certainly helps the team out, but no sense in keeping him around for a miracle run into the playoffs. Better to ship him out and avoid that 1.25M. Pretty much, having to carry over cap would be annoying. Holtby and Jake's buyouts are already going to be eating up most of Luongo coming off the books. 18 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Not fair to the players with the way they’ve battled back to hurt their chances at a playoff spot.

Even with that cap we’d still only be in for around 7 million for both goalies next season if we go with Demko and DiPietro or Silovs. Lot of games between today and the deadline, lot of tough games amongst the next eleven. There's still a good chance we'll be out of it, and if it's trending more like we'll miss than make it I don't see why players wouldn't be on the table.

I would be interested to know what his real market value is tho. It all depends on the next road trip too, if we come out of that where we are today or a bit better I suspect JR will let the team have a real run at trying to make the playoffs.

Of course it would be on the table, I doubt it is now though. If we’re trading him it should be to Tampa not Edmonton.

smithers joe Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 i read on a ranger board some time ago that they wanted miller but also halak for georgiev. they felt that miller would cost them 2 of their younger prospects, someone else and the russian that left them for russia. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, not interested in selling him to Edmonton unless they're willing to pay a higher price. Selling him to them on an expiring deal wouldn't be the end of the world though if they're willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure that will improve going forward. Hes given them a chance in those losses and that’s all you can ask. Having a weak backup would equal a lot more demoralizing losses.
