Philly has a history of bringing in good goalies, ruining them, and then having them succeed somewhere else.

Trade for Carter Hart?

Draft 'schmaft - the Leafs best goalies ever (in my lifetime) came from trades anyway.

Cujo
Eddie the Eagle
Felix the Cat

Hey wait a minute - maybe I have unlocked the Caramilk secret to drafting goalies - they need an animal nickname!

poop - we don't have any of those right now :-(

New ? - do we rename our current goalies to give them new animal nicknames or go on the hunt for new goalies?

Freddy Flounder Andersen (I'm sure many here will love this clever nickname)

Jack-a-lope Campbell

Dave "The Raccoon" Rittich (because trash pandas are cute sometimes and loveable but eat trash and are very problematic most of the time)

Mike "Hermit Crab" Hutchinson (hides from public view, generally not seen and certainly when seen not viewed as lovable or desirable as a pet. More of a 'huh look at that a crab'. + Crabs make people of ill repute instantly scratch their naughty bits).

OK I'll stop and go back to doing some actual work now....maybe.

We drafted Felix.

True, but you can still grab good goalies cheap. Caps had Holtby forever.
- Garnie

Ya, and they had Holtby because they had Varlamov who they got a first and second for and they had Varly while having Neuvirth which they got Halák and a third round pick for while also having Grubauer who they got a 2nd rounder and got 5.5mil off their cap from Oprik while still having Holtby and Samsonov and Vanecek.

But what would you give up?

It needs to be a player that's good but actually sucks.

We need to take five points in our remaining four games, because I don't see the Oilers dropping a point in their remaining five:

Canucks
Canucks
Habs
Habs
Canucks

Although it would be nice if we could let the Habs have a loser point tonight, officially eliminating the Flames.

Montreal is 5-2 against Edmonton. Connor McDavid has been running amok in the North with points per game averages that are crazy against Winnipeg (2.4), Ottawa (2.3), Vancouver (2) and Calgary (1.8). He averages 1.1ppg against Montreal and Toronto.

I don't think Edmonton runs the table.

There's a bit of rock-paper-scissors in the way the North teams match up with one another. You'd hope Vancouver could squeak one win out, but I don't think they have it in the tank.

According to the Dom Luszczyszyn betting guide in the Athletic, the Canucks have a better chance of beating the Oilers tonight than the Habs have of beating the Leafs.

Yeah, no.

He's a grinder who has played 4th line on a lot of bottom feeders. If you don't notice him outside of a hit or a decent forecheck, he's done great.
