Matt Henderson: Do Not Even Consider Drafting A Goalie At 16th

First....suck it Oilhorse, and maybe Shaggy, unsure if you have to suck it yet or not

Matt Henderson: Do Not Even Consider Drafting A Goalie At 16th

Who would you target via trade ?

Corey Crawford's name is popping up as a potential trade candidate because the Hawks will have to choose between him and Seabrook when his contract runs out next year. I'd rather see the Hawks keep Crawford, but going to have to choose between them.

Oilers need a goalie. Hawks have one to potentially trade. Good trade partners for this. I think it wouldn't be crazy:

Crawford for #16 overall pick and Draisaitl.

I know people will probably not like including Draisaitl, but CC is a hell of a goalie and has 2 cups on his resume.

No goalie is worth a recent Top 5 pick in this league (Price might be the exception). So Leon isnt going anywhere

Seriously that's basically 3rd and 16th overall for Crawford... in what world is that remotely reasonable.

Instead of Talbot wouldn't a goalie like Bernier make more sense for the 16th? Would Tor consider doing that?

I'd say trading the 16th pick for a 28 year old career backup with 57 games played and a not so great AHL performance record would be equally unwise.

Crawford for #16 overall pick and Draisaitl.

This actually made my day!!!!! Thank you

Trade it for Jonas Hiller

My bad. A 5th and Ference should do it, right?

What is a fair return for Crawford? Looking at the #16 pick plus a prospect?

You gotta shoot for the moon first

Trade it for Jonas Hiller

A better alternative than using it to draft a 17 year old goalie, but still no.

Anyone miss AlfieIsKing?

im looking forward to him during draft day, he will be at max derp once Ott starts doing trades and picks

Trying to screw the Oilers is one thing... but that's grab your ankles I'm going in dry.

To me it is all about scouting. You draft the best player available according to your scouts etc. If that player is said to be a goaltender then so be it. When you get down past the top few you aren't drafting for your current team needs anyways since they more than likely won't be playing in the NHL for a few years anyways.

That being said I get what you're saying in terms of 1st round goaltenders. The track record isn't great but shouldn't that be reflective of the GM/scouts that made those picks vs a preclusion of drafting a goaltender in the 1st round?

Oh Dannyboy...

I know the pipes, the pipes are calling, but you might want to find something less potent to pack them with. That stuff is messing with your mind.

Draisatl can't be dealt for Crawford cuz he's already being packaged for Phaneuf.

You can suck a stuffed bell pepper through a garden hose....... soooooooo.....

This Draisaitl kid must really suck balls. He is always involved as a thrown in for even crappier players.

Rights to Tom McCollum for the 33rd pick.
