Kevin Prendergast – the Oilers assistant GM – has reportedly been at Montreal’s last three home games. Maybe he’s got a poutine craving. " Any thoughts on who he might be scouting? And what might be coming the other way? Coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewraras Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 The Oilers are looking for a goalie maybe. I been searching on the internet and found this http://bleacherreport.com/articles/279150-...s-and-canadiens Sorry, but I didn't see anything in there about a goalie - and from what I understand, they're quite happy with Khabibulin. It would appear that scoring (or lack thereof) is the main problem in Edmonton - whether or not the Kostitsyn brothers would be the solution obviously remains to be seen. But plain and simple, Sergei's not doing us any good down in Hamilton and Andrei hasn't exactly been lighting it up with the Habs. So c'mon Bob, fly out to Alberta and start kicking some tires!

Id definitely be interested in either dman listed (Grebeshkov or Gilbert) but im not sure how much Id give up for Jacques. I mean sure, he's huge, but unproven and last I remember, I think skating was a concern... No way Id move Plekanec unless we got a top quality centre in return.

ewraras Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm actually reasonably pleased with the way Plekanec's been playing thus far, not so sure I'd be willing to offer him up without a significant player in return and I'm not sure the Oilers players listed would qualify as such.

" This doesn't make much sense from a Habs POV, in my opinion. Although it may not seem like it so much now with two of them out, we already have too many NHL-ready defensemen. Grebeshkov or Gilbert would have been more plausible before we got Bergeron. The real problem is that both the Habs and Oilers need scoring more than anything else. It wouldn't make sense to give up our only hint of secondary scoring (Pleky/Andrei) for... well, for pretty much anything on the Oilers roster that they'd be willing to part with.

avsgirl621 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I just posted this in the Price thread also, didn't realize there was a separate thread: http://insider.espn.go.com/nhl/features/rumors "A huge trade could be on the way between the Oilers and the Canadiens. The Hockey Insider reports that the Oilers are looking at Tomas Plekanec, Andrei Kostitsyn and Kyle Chipchura. The Habs are looking at Tom Gilbert, Denis Grebeshkov and J.F. Jacques. But the combination of players -- and whether more of them will be involved -- is unknown. For example, Sergei Kostitsyn has also been the subject of trade rumors after he demanded a trade out of Montreal. We'll keep you updated." http://insider.espn.go.com/nhl/features/rumors#1617 "In Montreal, backup goalie Jaroslav Halak has gotten more ice time than franchise goalie Carey Price, which might mean the latter player will soon be traded. More and more, it appears management is pushing to see if Halak has what it takes to be a top NHL goalie, and he's definitely shown flashes. CBC.ca's Elliotte Friedman writes, "Maybe Gainey and Jacques Martin are trying some sort of mind-game to motivate Price, but it doesn't seem as if the goalie's attitude was at all problematic this season. Instead, it appears as if Martin is being given the green light to see what Halak's got." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mleblanc87 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm rather curious to see if there may be a goalie deal sometime before the trade dead line, for example price/halak + plekanec for the "big star center" this team has been looking for, weather or not there would be cap space..any comments?

I1IscottieI1I Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I am 100% positive Price isn't being traded. If anything Halak is being traded since the Oilers GM was watching some of our games when Halak was playing not Price. I would love to trade Halak for khabibulin if we could afford it lol.

adamkennelly Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I would seriously try to trade this guy. part of a package w/ the K bros just as a salary dump to make it more palatable if Habs are not getting enough in return.
