Questions For Khan

Ansar Khan of Mlive answeers some fan mail,

Q. Does a (Thomas) Griess trade to Edmonton make sense? Goalie trades get a second-round pick? Throw in (Filip) Zadina or (Vladislav) Namestnikov and get their first-rounder in 2022? – Todd

A: It is doubtful. The Oilers could use an upgrade in goal, but Greiss isn’t the answer. He’s at most a goalie who can carry 50 percent of the load. Coach Jeff Blashill has said as much, indicating Greiss is at his best when he’s not overworked.

The Red Wings wouldn’t be averse to moving Greiss, who is in the final year of his contract, by the March 21 trade deadline.
