At least he didn't put the Oilers on the automatic win powerplay for the first minute and a half of OT.

Now that it's bye week time, maybe the Oilers can unfuck whatever happened to them during the All-Star break and go back to being good.

Looks like they're supposed to take 6 weeks for recovery and Rielly only sat out 3, but maybe they're trying the whole "blood flow and mobility" approach to recovery as opposed to the typical REST treatment. Still doesn't seem like he should be playing hockey right now, especially since he was out for three goals against last night.

If Washington thought that Vegas would for sure take Grubauer they could trade him to get some return. Or they could make a trade with LV to leave him unprotected from Washingtons side or not take him from Vegas' side.

Vegas taking Grubauer would be ok all things considered. Obviously it sucks losing a quality backup but he's never going to supplant Holtby, and otherwise they are likely going to lose Orlov or Schmidt who are both good enough to be regular top 4 defensemen.

I'd be thrilled if Vegas took Tom Wilson for some dumb reason.

I'm hoping the Pens lose Pouliot or someone like that but it will probably be Rust or Hagelin which would suck.

Unless the Pens decide to give up on Maatta (or trade him before the end of the season) and opt for 7 forwards 3 d instead. They could also choose the same route for Dumoulin I suppose and protect Letang/Schultz/Maatta

Isn't there a good chance Beagle will be unprotected too? I know he's just a 4th line plug but he's probably one of the top 3 plugs in the league. Losing Grubauer would suck but the Caps have plenty of goaltending depth in the pipeline with Vanacek and Samsonov. Worst case scenario would be losIng Orlov to expansion draft and Alzner to free agency. McPhee could target them both.

Looking at the season Grubauer is having and the goalies that won't be protected or otherwise undraftable, I'd say taking him is a pretty good option for Vegas. And with the season and hopes of going deep into the playoffs this year, we're not going to trade him for "futures" when starting goalies get you poo poo in trades to begin with.

Mind_Taker
May 7, 2007



Yeah I really doubt Beagle is taken. He's a fine 4C and PKer but he'll be a UFA after next season and he's struggled in any top 9 role.

Orlov is looking like a lock to be protected so I would guess McPhee is going to select Schmidt or Grubauer. The Caps don't really have any NHL ready D in the system now so I hope it's Grubauer. I'm assuming Alzner is going to like Calgary or Edmonton on some insane deal this offseason.
