Matty Garon has been dealt at last the oil has decided on their goaltending dilema, Personally i think though it may not seem like it the pens are the clear winners here,, Garon is paid nothing espcially for the quality goaltending he brings to the table.. this year he has struggled but in my opinion matty garon is a number 1 goalie who just always got stuck behind a better goalie

But Garon is a UFA at the end of the season and with The way he has played this year & the 3 goalie situation, it is unlikey he would have got re-signed. So the Oilers ended getting 3 players. If they all end up being a bust, well its better than nothing. I just don't know why we got another mediocore goalie. That doesn't fix the situation, it just changes the names of the people in it it.

I just seen that Sabourin is a UFA at the end of the season too. Kind of a stupid trade, but at lease the Oil got a draft pick and Stone.

I think Lyall hit it on the head. One of the three headed monster would be cut off in the off season. The Oilers actually made a pretty decent move here.
Not only do they basically trade 2nd string goalies, but they also save about $500,000 in cap space for the rest of the year, pick up a draft pick, and a plugger. So thinking that Garon wouldn't be resigned anyways, Garon and Saborin are a wash. So, Edmonton picks up a draft pick and a player for nothing.
And why would MacT start Garon any more??? Less than .900 save percentage, over 3 GAA and less than a .500 record. Look at Roloson, who has over a .900 save percentage, less than a 3 GAA and a nearly .500 record??
That's a no brainer. |

Sabourin isn't even reporting to Edmonton. He is gunna get waived or thrown into another trade. The Oilers are going with Roli & J.D...at least for now.
