I doubt he gets any of the names I just mentioned at the trade deadline. I mean, never say never, but I dont see it. All he'll get at the trade deadline is a change in nets, not an upgrade. Who knows, maybe that could be more than expected but anyone realistic knows it won't be an upgrade.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I don’t know that the oilers can wait until the off-season to try and upgrade at goalie, price be dammed. It may have been cheaper last summer, even if Holland didn’t like the prices then… he won’t love them at the deadline when teams know he’s desperate. I think he’s gonna have to overpay to get one, which, goalies being what they are in terms of volatility..is never a good strategy, but at this point, not much choice if the season goes any more off the rails.
It would likely be prudent to wait, but I don’t know how far prudence gets you with this group. I.e. prudence to gain what….?
It be a good start to inquire in Chicago about a certain elite goalie.
i agree most of the goalies available are lateral moves at best. say a good goalie is actually available, are we even sure a good goalie will even save the oilers this season? unsustainable advanced metrics relying on elite goaltending to steal games is not a recipe for long-term success
One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.

Sure but im sure if he had a chance at a cup he would be going to even edmonton.
Hard to say. Sometimes winning a Cup to someone who already has a couple isn't as important as quality of life at this stage in his career. We're both just assuming we have any idea what's going on in his head. If the choice came down to him going to Edmonton or Washington (another team rumored to be in on MAF), where do you think he'd choose?

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Sure he may have other options but Im willing to bet he waives his NMC to go to playoffs and have a shot
Widely reported he won't go to Washington because of his history with Pittsburgh. That could change, but that's where it is at right now.
MAF has an expiring contract and Edmonton has 2 of the best players of the world. If Fleury chooses to not move his NMC and stay in Chicago, that should be mildly concerning for Edmonton fans that they can't convince him to change his mind. If Fleury moves his NMC and chooses somewhere over Edmonton, that should be extremely concerning for Edmonton fans.
I wont speak for all Edmonton fans, but for me, I am not concerned if MAF doesn't want to come to Edmonton. That's his right as per his contract. I have no doubt the price for MAF would be high and I do not want to overpay for a guy who's the age of Fleury on an expiring contract. I'd rather overpay for someone who's got a potential future with the club. At 38 years of age, he could decide to retire after this year.
Do you really think MAF is the missing piece for Edmonton to make a serious run at the Cup? He'd certainly be a big piece, but is he enough when you consider what it's likely to cost to acquire him. Holland has already said he wont overpay for a rental. I don't blame him.
