Toronto sports media spin more BS than anyone but generally speaking, when EF, Dreger, Seravelli or CJ talk, I'll pay more attention.
my bad, Thanks!. That basically makes him impossible to acquire IMO.
The Blues will want him for a playoff run and he is valuable to them in the short-term. No team is going to want to acquire him for long-term services given his limited play.
Even a sign and trade would be difficult because the acquiring team will want to underpay whereas his agent will encourage him to go to market give he is acquiring UFA status.
I don't see the Oilers making a trade for a goalie, a big splash is not available in-season (I would still acquire MAF for Koskinen+ 1st today) and a small splash is difficult given the Oilers do not have a 2nd or 3rd.
Get Smith healthy and run Smith + Skinner for the remainder of the year and hope for the best.
