Why would the oilers be interested in either? Gibson sucks, swayman is ok but too expensive.
Besides, Im sure there would be cap retention unless the oilers are unloading a contract of their own the other way.cause they need a goalie and I think the only way for the Oilers to get one is to trade for one.
Those were some names that were mentioned. The other was the Utah goalie.dmnted

Those were some names that were mentioned. The other was the Utah goalie.A trade is definitely an option, or they could sign Jake Allen or someone via FA. Maybe Allen on a 3 year x $4.5 – 5m deal and trade one of their current goalies.

To answer your ? as to why – it’s the Oilers! The same Oilers who thought Soupy was the solution to their goaltending woes….I could totally see them going after either of those guys (Gibson or Swayman) to be honest. Not sure what other options are out there and available – maybe they can get Vancouver to trade them Demko since they have Lankinen and Silovs as well.Demko will be going into his final year of his current deal at 5M.
Demko could be an option…not sure Vancity would want him in Edmonton though…but who knows.
I could see the oilers going after Jake allen…..maybe a on a 3 year deal.
As for Gibson….unless the oilers are sending back a bad contract…I dont see them taking on Gibson at full contract.
But we’ll see.interesting wrinkle

With word that in new CBA contracts will be limited to 7 years to re-sign or 6 years w/ new team, there’s a big choice for ‘26 free agents:Sign 8 years with their current team from July 1 until next June 30, otherwise they can only sign for 6 years if they go to market July 1
So how long before Peterka lifts the Cup with the Mammoth or scores 90 points or something like all the other young Sabres jettisoned for peanuts?
There’s speculation that new CBA will ban deferred salary which will make signing FA’s tougher for Leafs in future
Sounds like the new CBA is going to reduce the percentage of a contract that a signing bonus can be. Is this not going to make it EVEN HARDER for Canadian teams to attract US talent?!? Not only are they not addressing the tax advantages the US has over Canada, they’re making it damn near impossible to attract US players north of the border.
Jamie Benn re-ups with Dallas
1 M for 1 year with lots of performance bonuses.
That’s a great deal for Dallas, he clearly wants to stay there and is taking less than he could elsewhere.
JT take note and follow suit!
Finally figured out how to get account deleted at HB!
I have been banned now – and read the message that said if I get caught logging in under different user an or something like that, so an alt – I risk permanent account deletion.
So, if I can figure out how to create an alt I can announce that I am in the site under an alt and hope they delete account as result.
Not at all computer/tech literate – the absolute worst at it – so if anyone knows how to the alt thing please message on HB cause you can still get PMs when banned from posting – or I suppose just tell me here. Don’t want to take up (anymore) space with this issue so figured HB.

That it is.
Had 49pts last year, so not too bad at all.Draft Day will soon be upon us. – Not for the Leafs ….. :[
Who will pull a Kevin Costner move like in Draft Day, The movie …….
he he heanyone see this
Frank Seravalli: If it’s an 8 year deal for Matthew Knies, it’s going to be north of 10; it’s probably going to end up being a 5 year deal – DFO Rundown
ok then.
peterka just got 5 x 7.7 ..so I guess around that thenanyone see this

He signed 8 x 7.14 before the season (early extension). Peterka, a year older then both so there’s one less year of control, slightly better resume because of the extra year, and he gets 7.7 x 5 from Zona’ too.
Leafs need to prioritize signing guys earlier rather than waiting for them to build their resumes and for the Cap to go up.
