Did the Oilers make the right decision waiving JDD and keeping Dubnyk as there #2?

The Bogosian rumours have swirled because he's had an off year and with Atlanta fading, there's talk they could be desperate to salvage a playoff spot? He may yet move, and depending what they get in return, they may regret trading him a few years from now! |

I would look to deal Hemsky and/or Penner. Separately for 2 quality defensemen or together for a stud defensemen. Problem is there are few available and the asking price is very high.
The rumor of Bogosian is exciting but highly unlikely. A player like that with size, speed, and offensive talent is the key. Someone that can start the rush and play on the PP other than Whitney.
As far as the draft goes, I have no idea. I don't follow it close enough to know much about any of the juniors. However, the best thing in drafts is to always take the best player available. Not always what a team needs, take the absolutely best player. That appears to be a forward this year. |

What would you do if you were the Oiler GM beans? Who would you trade, and who would you draft with the #1 if the oilers had it?

The Oilers are in need of depth on the back end or the goaltending won't matter at all.

Sahis, go play darts or something. Deslauriers was given time to get his game together, failed and was pretty much the reason the Oilers fell behind in a lot of games. The team lost all confidence in him last year. Dubynk has had fewer chances given to him to develop his game, but is in the same class of crappy Deslaurier was.
Whats funny was 2 years ago I had the same arguement with Bean's about Deslaurier being crappy then and the fact the Oilers needed to find a legit backup at that time. Beans argued for Deslauriers side at that time. I would like to see Gerber get the chance to redeem himself as a starter in front of this years Oilers. He always seems to excell when the team in front of him has less expectations of him. |

I watched a heck of a lot more than 60+ Oiler games last year and you know what I watched, at least 1 but often 2-3 soft goals a game given up by JDD. He is well below average, no better than Dubnyk, and deserved the waiver treatment.
He is 2 years older and $200k more expensive than a goalie of the exact same caliber. Of course he is the waiver choice. Seriously, arguing if he is a bonified #2 or not is irrelevant. The economics alone answer and justify the question.
Bryzgalov was put on waivers.
Also I said s***ty oiler games. Khabibulin pretty much made the first 20 tolerable . that leaves 60

he left FLA because there was no chance he would start, true. But he far from sucked in his last year in FLA while filling in for an injured Vokoun... 15-7-5, 2.71 GAA, .925 SV%. To have a winning record with a team like FLA is hard enough... to win twice as many as you lose is even tougher. Hell, even the year before that he posted 8-6-1, 2.24, .925 as Vokoun's backup. These numbers hardly "suck"
Anderson left FLA to find a starting job after his breakout season, and found it in COL. He simply picked up where he left off in FLA the year before. He would not have gotten that contract if he sucked in Florida.
EDIT - sahis, its not terribly hard to do a little research before you post, just to make sure what you post is accurate. |

Anderson turned his career around in Colorado?? We are talking about Craig Anderson right?? The guy who had better numbers in Florida than he does in Colorado and really chased Vokoun from the net even after he came back from injury???
Anderson's career was pretty solid in Florida.
That being said, this still does not say anything to how Deslauriers is such a solid goalie and not a single NHL team wanted to pick him up?? Who cares where his passion lies?? Who cares who he idolized?? It's completely irrelevant. Bottom line is that neither Dubnyk or Deslauriers are good enough today and there is little to no point in having a 3 goalie system when 2 of the goalies are below average. The Oilers absolutely made the right decision in who they picked to put on waivers. Both are weak, but one of them is 2 years younger and makes $200k less per year. |
| sahis34 |
Posted - 11/06/2010 : 00:57:00
JD has passion unlike dubnyk, I'm guessing that comes from the fact that he idolized the oilers even in the 90's and will allows be a better fit in edmonton. Also JD isn't a #1 now, as he proved last year, but is certainly a #2. JD may be a #1 eventually you can never tell. Who could of known how anderson would've turned his career around in COL

This makes no sense what so ever. You have stated that Deslauriers is a legitimate #1. What does NHL teams having #2 goalies have to do with anything. Futhermore, there are at least 10 teams in the NHL with goalies still on 2 way contract who could have brought in Deslauriers and sent their current #2 down without penalty.
Fact of the matter is that not one of the other 29 teams felt strongly enough about this guy to spend a meager amount of money on him.
He simply isn't that good. |

Such an excellent #1 status goalie does not get picked up on waivers even though his contract is minimal (something around $1 million/season).
Yep, the Oilers made a huge mistake putting this guy on waivers. What the heck were they thinking?? |

Well 1stly most of the teams would've made the playoffs with miller, secondly there goaltending was just a letdown throughout the team. A big save now and again would've pumped up the offense.
Maybe they wouldn't have made the playoffs in the west but they at least wouldn't have been an embarrassment if the had a decent goalie.
To the point, if hemmer and Khabby didn't go down last year they probably would have challenged for a spot

We below average at best and 2 games means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Deslauriers = Toskala in Toronto and no one wants that!
Price started just around 40 games last year and didn't get more than 15 wins, and the habs were a hell of a lot better than the Oiler's last year.... The oilers sucked last year its normal that their young Goalies sucked too.. The oilers would have been last place last year with most of the starters in the leagues putting that on your 24 year old goalie in his first year as the clear cut starter (which he only was because on injury) is pretty weak,, i say you give him another shot like the Oilers are doing

I have had limited views of both, but when I've seen Dubnyk play he's been pretty good overall. One thing for sure, he is one of the biggest goalies I've seen, making Luongo look small is no easy task... |
| crichards |
Posted - 11/01/2010 : 21:37:50
Last year Deslauiers seemed to be the better goalie and played more. I'm not sure when they decided Dubynk was the guy. I don't think either of them would play much if Khabibulin finds his game again so it's probably not a big deal. |
