[Sofa GM]

The problem is, they don’t have any assets to acquire the pieces they need. Specifically goaltenders, who would maybe even be available?

Saros - Maybe if the Preds melt down and decide to go full rebuild. Oilers don’t have the pieces to make that deal happen.

Binnington - if the Blues falter this year and he is having a below average year, I could see McGM pushing hard to acquire his World Cup team mate. Don’t think Skinner and a 1st going the other way is enough. Also St. Louis would have to retain this year to make the trade prior to the deadline, making the cost all that much more.

Markstrom - Could see them bringing in Markstrom after this year as a UFA. Not sure he is the answer though for them. Maybe Oilers move Skinner and a pick for a retained Markstrom at the deadline if he has an average season.

Goalies are a hot commodity these days. No one is going to give up a solid starter without getting a haul and the Oilers don’t have the chips for that.

I don’t care what McSavior signed for, that old team has played a ton of hockey and they aren’t getting better from here. They will just bring in another high priced UFA forward in the offseason and use the space gift Mavi gave them. They will never change.
