Thread: FUUUTUREEEEE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bias_it_self</b></div><div>Agreed. I think Yakemchuk is the most likely pick, but I wouldn't mind if it was BrandseggNygard or Eiserman. I personally hope they trade up to take Buium though, or maybe Parekh.</div></div>

Buium you may have to just trade up a few spots, but for Parekh, imo, he will either be chosen by Utah, or Ottawa. He would be a harder one, but a good guy to build the defence around. Nygard, or Eiserman would be solid forwards.. Eiserman I think could be a sneaky good pick, however, his laziness, and defensive ability are brutal. He could be a good sniper though if a team is willing to be patient with him.

They will get a good player regardless though. Yakemchuk, I personally like for the pick. Good defence man.

Thread: What will probably be similar to what the Oilers off-season looks like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Edmonton isn't trading Ceci for nothing though. If they move him it'll be for a 2nd+. He's been excellent over the last 10 games, allowing just 2 GA (all situations),the fewest in the league, while playing the 3rd most TOI at 5v5 among Oilers defensemen.

Kulak has struggled to switch sides, I don't see any value putting him on the the right side permanently.</div></div>

Fair enough. I traded Ceci, because of Kulaks 2nd year on his deal. I’m also not a fan of putting Kulak on his off side, but I also wouldn’t want Nurse, Ekholm, nor Broberg there either. Personally, I’m not a fan of Kulak.. I would rather keep Ceci over him. Due to the 2nd year, I think that will be the reason why he gets kept over Ceci, and he has been getting top 4 minutes here, so I am thinking that Holland, and Knoblauch may like him enough.

Thread: Bold fix of the Nurse D problem
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilergirl1</b></div><div>I dunno why nobody likes the Carlsson trade. Same amount of goals in 55 games on a horrible ducks team in his first year in NHL compared to Mcleod in 81 games, plus salary dump of Mcleod's contract for younger player with similar skillset.</div></div>

Welcome to Cap Friendly!

So the Carlsson trade. McLeod was drafted in 2018, and is 24 years old right now, doing ok in the regular season, but terrible in the playoffs. Carlsson was picked in 2023 2OA by Anaheim , because they think he has good potential to become a top 6 forward in the NHL. Hes also just 19, so a lot younger than McLeod, and recorded 29 points in 55 games in his rookie season. His value is way higher than McLeods, and so much that the only guys that we could trade that would get us Carlsson are McDavid, and Draisaitl IF they went with an extension. You do not trade top 6 potential centers that was just drafted for a bottom 6 forward, when you are trying to get better and build your team through the draft, like Anaheim. I guarantee he will have a better season in every aspect, than McLeod will next year.

That's just my opinion on this trade. Have a great one! Take care!
