I'll also dangle Sami Salo (cap hit of only $2 million)...8 pts. (t-11th amongst all D), +6 (t-12th), 32 SOG (t-11th), 5 ST pts. (t-8th) and he's got close 30 minutes SHTOI. Komisarek and Gonchar are playing well also but both have hefty cap hits.
I can't ask for a goaltending upgrade because I've got arguably the best goaltending tandem (from a single team)...any goaltending I'd receive is a downgrade at this point. I'm mega weak at forward...I must get an upgrade at a forward position or two. I want a guy(s) with offensive game. I'd love to add a 1st round pick but at this point, an upgrade at the forward position is my #1 concern. I've got Hemsky possibly coming back this weekend but won't be in my lineup until next week at the earliest. I'd like to roll out an improved forward lineup for next week.
My requirements for goaltending, it must be at least a duo (or trio) from one team (contract security would be preferred)...preferrably with the 3rd guy being waiver exempt. I can't really take on an entire depth chart without giving up more guys on my end and I don't have anything beyond the top 2 for the Oilers. I'd like a similar cap hit (or more)...I'm not that close to the floor but I can't give up millions unless it's in the upgraded forward I'm receiving. The worse the goaltending you offer, the better the forward I better be getting in return. For outright bad goaltending...any team destined to miss the playoffs or is giving up around 3 goals a game, a 1st round pick must be included.
I'm specific in what I'm asking for so don't throw me open-ended offers...come to me with actual offers. I don't have to do this but I'm throwing it out there since no one has asked about the Oilers' goaltending. Goaltending is my strength but it only gets me so many wins in a week when I have depleted numbers in the other categories.
