As a Columbus fan, I can't imagine who we would trade or who we'd be after. The Oilers have had 3 scouts at our last 5 games, including tonight's game against the Senators. The Oilers weren't the only ones though, Vegas had two scouts, Philadelphia had one and that's just what I know for sure. All in all, 11 professional scouts were watching the Blue Jackets tonight.
Merzlikins is a decent 1B and makes sense for the Oilers, but I hate seeing the team buying high and selling low as well as mortgage the future like they have done quite a bit since the Chiarelli fiasco. The team is playing well. No need to rock the cart pre-emptively. Playing Pickard in another game or two isn't the end of the world. He's been putting in the time and the work.
Elvis was always the better choice over Montembeault. Elvis has a long track record of being consistently solid. Montembeault's numbers are kind of scary. He is not an upgrade.
Great stuff! I really enjoy your thoughts and aspect of the situation going on with the oilers right now. Keep the videos rool’n out I appreciate them.
Edmonton’s a goalie graveyard there defence is a joke until McMuffin takes a salary cut and puts the the First they will never hoist the cup try taking a team friendly salary and you can afford better defence look at Crosby he signed for a lot less to keep a contending team just saying
Not to be cruel but why make these trade updates when there is no trade! Why not make a video when a trade happens. I know you need the content, just get tired of who may go or not. Skinner has found his game! Just need to boot Campbell for someone else. That’s it. Our D and offence has found their game too. CBJ all players suck! If it happens, trade Connor brown and Campbell if it were possible. Ceci is an okay defender but could use one that can shoot some in the net too.
Elvis is back this season! I hope CBJ keeps him as he is only reason why we are still in games sometimes…. But I agree that Elvis needs a change of the scenery and he is a very good GK!

Enjoy the getaway and hopefully we see a good deal to improve the team. Go Oilers!!
Maybe the Oilers should hire Legacy as a goaltender coach instead of "finding" the right goalie.
Enjoy your weekend getaway Patrick!!
This is one of those deals that could be great for both players and both teams.
I’d be ok with a straight swap…. Elvis for Campbell, anything more is pointless.
Yes please Trade him… He need Fresh start..

Campbell has a NTC but has a 10 team list he can block. I'd guess he didn't have Columbus on the list when he made it
Columbus takes Leon and soup oilers take Patty and Elvis i like this trade
Enjoy Jasper. I keep wondering if Broberg will be in play with Campbell. Any trade will not be cheap.

I bet Columbus is yearning to have Campbell between the pipes!
Hey Patty, we don’t care if you fumble a few words. It’s worth the price of admission!
Merzy comes to Edmonton in exchange for Campbell, Broberg, Bourgault, and 2025 3rd rounder. Thoughts? Who wins that trade?
Campbell had a .923 and a .914 before he arrived
