Phil_314 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 If we get this deal, then we follow up and trade a later round pick for DeSmith in Pittsburgh IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikko Koskinen has a .900 save percentage average Halak's is .915.................... Not a big difference But Edmonton will think so! We will take Koskinen at 50% retained as part of the deal Do sweat it, he'll play better in Vancouver, with 4 lines and a defense in front of him.

mll Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Holland was pretty adamant that the 1st is off the table. He pretty much answered that it would be stupid for him to trade draft picks or prospects for rentals and that he wasn't at all interested in doing so. He says the answer is in the room. Tippett not happy with their compete and will. Making a trade is not going to fix that fundamental issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koskinen is an ECHL quality goalie. Even at 50% retained, I don't want that sieve to ever wear a Canucks jersey. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Oilers allow 30 shots per game, over a 10 game period Halak saves them an extra 4.5 goals over a 10 game span... Have them throw-in Munzenberger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan, I think you must be sharing drinks with Alf...........not a chance Edmonton would even give you a 5th round pick for that package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Start with a 1st. If they balk. I'd be happy with a 2nd rounder. In the end Halak has a no trade clause. It would take some sweet talking to convince him to go to Edmonton, and for Edmonton to do a trade like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 @Rick Blight @Ghostsof1915 Hey, I know, I am asking them for alot.............alot!!!! But if they won't pay.........they throw another season of McDavid and Draistl away I am not sure that that is a good idea........... So, if they can find better...........go for it, but that is my ask 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t going overpay for a 1/2 season of a 36 year old back up with a dead cap space bonus next year. They can look elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 @qwijibo @Rick Blight I honestly do not think there are many "none playoff teams" , or "none bubble team", that have goalies, that they will put on the market as good as Halak. Then, I think you have to factor in length of contract, as well. It is a big ask, but Halak can play a #1 goalie, and is consistant ................... Who would you think could be offered up?

Boston currently has 3 goalies now that they’ve signed Rask. Chicago could look to move Fleury. Montreal could move Allen, the ducks could move one of their guys. (Stolarz or Gibson). That’s just off the top of my head. The point is Vancouver doesn’t have the leverage in a potential Halak trade to bleed them dry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
