The thing that's frustrating here is that Scrivens is a UFA.

Agreed. I like the pickup as far as the value goes. But if he doesn't resign than it's one giant waste of our time and resources

I think Mact will resign him. Id like to see bryz gone too and edm picks up another goalie at off season.

4th liner? Big. Is he 'mean' at all? I know he is strong on the faceoff dot. Does this put Arcobello down to the AHL? So many questions!
- ChetManly

Hendricks will fight every game if that's what the teams needs. He is a tough SOB who can play a little hockey. Basically we traded Dubnyk for another Mike Brown type.

Bryz doesn't play well with other Russian goalies. Why do you think Bob got moved ?

- mtn1mutt

The team didn't like their Russian conversations and vodka chugging contests?

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Scrivens deal between LA and EDM is still pending trade call with NHL, so won't be official until that takes place. Kings get 3rd round pick

The scary thing is he's right
- Yeti1181

No he is not.

So basically Duby and a third for Scrivens and Hendricks....
- Iggysbff

Or a UFA goalie for a UFA goalie and a 3rd for Hunwick, not the worst deal I have ever seen.

MacT redeems himself with this one to a degree
- MTL1

Agreed. I like this deal better than the other for sure.

Scrivens > Dubnyk

3rd >> Hendricks

Scrivens goes from playing behind the Kings defense to the Oilers defense. That poor bastard.

Well Smyth is going to retire after this season. We just replaced one old man with another?

Wait a minute we need to clarify something. Nobody wanted reimer because you thought he wasn't good but now we are excited about the guy who played as his back up.

hes a backup.
- Jurco_28

Rinne is still hurt. He will play

So was Duby.

And the other foot has fallen....Oilers have grabbed Scrivens from the Leafs. Updated here>http://www.hockeybuzz.com

Good deals, can't beleive someone wanted Dubnyk

forget about the defense, he goes from the kings from the oilers.period.
- Jurco_28

Scrivens did okay behind the Leafs defense so maybe he can be decent in Edmonton, but the Oilers defense is arguably the worst in the league.

Scrivens > Dubnyk

3rd >> Hendricks
- Morris

What are we sitting with for draft picks now? I know we got a 4th rounder back when we traded Mike Brown.

Scrivens is better.

Reimer only played because he had a better nickname....?

Oh man it got worse!!

Agreed. I like this deal better than the other for sure.
- Nucker101

Thought Scrivens could have fetched a 2nd - due to his age and performance this year - but a 3rd is a very good price

So was Duby.
- Iggysbff

but we didn't have to trade anything for Dubnyk.

trading for a pending UFA unless you're either gunning for a cup or are certain you'll re-sign him is foolish.

Hendricks will fight every game if that's what the teams needs. He is a tough SOB who can play a little hockey. Basically we traded Dubnyk for another Mike Brown type.
- gzatron

He's good in the shootout.

Hopfully he can play the 3rd line. Maybe with Gordon and Hemmer

Does this spell the end for Jones?

Not at all. We traded Dubnyk for a Brown that won 56.8% of draws on 260 attempts last year, a guy that can PK and a guy that can play 3rd line.
