grack posted:35 years old, two more seasons at 5.667M/season, and you have to (potentially) give up assets to get him. Why not spend the money on a guy like Jonathan Bernier or, christ, even Ryan Miller? You'll probably get similar performance, and they might be cheaper to boot. i'd probably prefer bernier here but ryan miller probably costs the same. i think it comes down to the cachet of a veteran goalie. edit: and to put a finer point on that, mike smith was insane in the playoffs that one time also this might not be such a fleecing because domingue/smith for the goalie protection slot is a legitimate debate

EDIT: Wow, OEL is older than I thought. He turns 26 in a month. For reference, Stepan turns 27 tomorrow. OldSenileGuy fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Jun 17, 2017 |

I get the idea of the trade from Arizona's perspective, but not Calgary's. I suppose Arizona could be sending an asset along for Calgary to take Smith's contract but even then it would be weird for the Flames.

It'll be hilarious if Vegas doesn't take Fleury and nobody trades for him, so he still remains a Penguin.

OldSenileGuy posted:People who know more about this than me: Is there anyone on Arizona besides OEL that would make this a good deal for NYR? basically any of our prospects and some combination of our pick or the wild's would get it done, but the problem is that we have a glut of forwards that are either not replaceable or too young to be a valuable asset, and it feels like we have the minimum amount of prospects at D to have a respectable pipeline. So with this you get trades like strome and #7 for stepan or deangelo and #7 and #23, or idiots swinging for the fences with OEL and #23. I don't doubt stepan would fit good on the coyotes, but there's no point in trying to win now and any of these trades are just going to help the rangers out.

I mean Beaulieu hasn't really been the player they'd hoped he'd be but he's another guy who has kinda gotten screwed by his coaches and is probably overall more valuable than that...

this looks like a good return for the coyotes and it's a goalie so it's going to inevitably blow up in their faces but a solid move for the flames
