Rumor is they are circling Saros

Or Sorokin if the Islanders fade out of the playoff picture. But Trotz should start the yard sale in Nashville now.

Good luck with that--that NMC might rear its ugly head.

Washington won vs Edmonton 7-4
Skinnner you suck
And Edmonton is -15

They’d have to be. Best hope is Red Wings put together a better package. They should have better pieces since they’ve been rebuilding since Christ was a child.

Like Soros, Sorokin has a NMC. So unless one of them wants an igloo out on the tundra...

Saros? Sorokin?

Two underperforming goalies on a clear career decline...on big contracts to boot. Yep, I hope Edmonton pays big to acquire either one of them! I hope they include Savoie in the trade.

Pickard and Skinner were (quite a while ago) .915+ goalies for a couple of seasons. So, both have *talent*. But they've been both shattered by the Oilers. So, naturally, to "fix" their goaltending they should trade for an already mentally liable goalie on a visible decline and a much bigger contract.

Great callout.

Also it's crazy to think Skinner was once pretty dominant in the AHL and even selected, one season, to play in the NHL All-Star game. The Oilers have a substantial history, at this point, of goalies struggling in their system so hard to think that acquiring either Saros or Sorokin, alone without a better defensive structure in place, would be the fix.

Maybe Grant Fuhr can come out of retirement

Great! When they play the Kings we could all meet him for drinks after the game at the Forum club too. Love it.

Get in the car Marty, let's ride.

Aside (from Reddit): Michael J. Fox's middle name is Alex.
Gurl, what?

I am not sure that Saros much better than Skinner.When he played for Finland at World Canada cup last year he was substituted and never went back to play

Grant Fuhr = Neil
