How does EDM get Scrivens for only a 3rd round pick?

That basically means that the leafs grabbed Bernier for Frattin and a 3rd. LA is getting hosed in these trades.

L.A probably felt they had 3 starting goalies, one had to go and I don't blame them for keeping Jones over scrivens.

Goalies don't cost nearly as much as players. Look at what we gave up to get Bernier.

Ew.

is that way off??

i suppose i may have assumed abit from the little ive seen.

maybe our definition of bluechip is different.

either way, brossoit is a better prospect than bunz or roy. so we improved in that area.

As far as I know Bluechip means a surefire, can`t miss, prospect. One that is guaranteed to have success in the NHL.

At least the Oilers didn't sign Clarkson for 5.25 Million for 7 years.

Who cares? We have Scrivens now.

It's only because Clarkson was set on only signing in Toronto.

Everything leads back to Toronto....haven`t you figured that out by now?

is that websters defintion??.......

anyway. brossoit is a very solid goalie prospect with tons of upside

It'll be interesting to see if Dubnyk is still terrible with six NHL caliber defensemen in front of him instead of 1 or 2.

we're already in the basement

his point makes sense

For next year. This year is done obviously. I think if you guys don't get some sort of veteran goalie next year you'll be in the basement again. Scrivens as your starter is a huge question mark.

They wanted to.

It`s the thought that counts

Another year in the basement. That's why you go after a vet goalie.
- Cheeseballin

Who is out there right now that has no NTC/NMC that would come here and take us out of the basement?

You gotta think that a core player gets traded if they suck next year as well.

Worked out better for the Oilers

They wanted to.

Dodged a bullet there

I'll bet he wishes he had signed in Edmonton and would be playing along Eberle, Nuge instead of Kulemin and whoever RC throws out there with him....

Brain Elliott maybe get you to 10th in the west. Good point, there isnt much out there sadly

No kidding. To be fair, Mac T also wanted Schneider and Coburn and made an offer for both.

And a 2nd

Frattin, 2nd, 3rd for Bernier basically.
- Cheeseballin

plus the oil 3rd will be in the pick 65 range

- Iggysbff

Yeah, he does't fit a rush, finesse team like the Leafs IMO, he'd be much better suited on one of the many Western teams that like to dump and chase and generate off of the cycle. There's teams like that in the East as well of course.

That's what I thought would happen this year. The years really do seem to be racing by with this franchise with the progress in slow motion.

Yeah, it's not a bad return, especially if Frattin turns out to be a decent 3rd liner at some point for them.

- hugefemale dog77

In other words Roy and Bunz are green apple splatters and Brossoit is a solid BM. Either way our goaltending is a long way from smelling like roses.

Elliot isn't the answer. Hiller might be, but I suspect ANA keeps him and moves Fasth.
