Not that I know of, but Ty Conklin was on the Oilers when they made the finals a few years ago. He was the backup though (Roloson).
Well, Conklin was on the team but I don't recall him getting any ice time in the playoffs. I CLEARLY remember Jussi Markkanen taking over as #1 goalie when Dwayne Roloson. Conklin then became the backup for Markkanen.
All my suggestions have started with Clowe or Pavs, a 1st and prospect.
I hope Clowe is not moved before Pavelski, he brings sooo much to the table and both should have pretty high value so I would just rather trade the guy with his replacement out performing him vs not netting a single goal. Really though the Sharks should be going for Carlo or Cole, I watched him play a few night ago, pretty damn good and they need a left handed shot at the point more then a right(EJ and Petro). If Setoguchi + Joslin/2nd got it done for Cole the team would greatly improve for years to come
I don't want to trade Clowe because he's the key piece that makes the second line so productive. I don't want to trade Pavelski either because it's our center depth that's going to keep us producing in the playoffs.
Seto's value will be higher, and he's not even making much this year, so it's a waste to trade him. Ideally we should move Mcginn or Mitchell and prospects/picks for a defenseman, which will be easier to do the closer we get to the deadline. That's wishful thinking though, and if we can trade Seto in a package deal for a young stud defenseman then I'm all for it.

Nope. Conklin got the nod in game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals vs. Carolina after Roloson got hurt, and proceeded to give up this goal:
MacTavish subsequently went with Markkanen for the remainder of the series.
Conklin was also the backup goaltender on the Pens in 2008 (where they lost to the Wings), and the Wings in 2009 (where they lost to the Pens), though he did not get any ice time in either of those series.
I think that Setoguchi, Mitchell, Ferreiro and a 3rd round pick would be quite fair for Erik Johnson. I mean, I think a lot of you guys are REALLY overrating Johnson; he's no Mike Green or Duncan Keith or Dan Boyle. Johnson is a pretty good young defenseman. Trading those three for Johnson gives us some cap space, doesn't take away any of our top six forwards and finally gives us some defensive depth. It's fair for St. Louis because it gives them some pretty good, young forwards and a good 3rd rounder, which should all help out their offense. To me, that is more than fair.
I also think now that its pretty safe to say that our top six forward are: Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Dany Heatley, Logan Couture, Ryane Clowe and Joe Pavelski, in that order. Mind you, their performance so far this season is a big factor in why I put them in that order. If anyone can't see that Couture is going to be a big star for the Sharks soon, then I don't know what to say to you. But hey, that's just my opinion.

Yeah, that was game 1, the rest of the series was Markkanen.

Blues laugh at that. A slumping scorer who is on pace for 8 goals, who will probably max out as a 25-30 goal scorer and some scrubs for a franchise D-Man. rofl. Also, Johnson will be a better player than Boyle when it's all said and done.
I like him too but he hasn't been putting up a lot of offense this year, and his D is sub-par. Maybe at the TDL for a 3rd and maybe a C prospect if he heats up.
