Description

Raanta or Keumper but Raanta is a UFA, makes more sense for the retention. Bennet, just a play off the trade rumours to Toronto (Engvall, Dermott) Bennett is a 4th liner. 4th liner for 4th liner, JJ is cheaper even with retention and will cost much less to extend. 2nd for a possible top 4D. Again, just a Oilers package on a Toronto, Calgary rumour. Mantha was scratched, he really hasn't put up a ton of points, just throwing something out there, how do you value him?

This next section if for my fellow Oilers fans or anyone else who cares.

Nuge doesn't sign until the offseason, he doesn't need protection. Bouchard takes the spot and runs. Bear comes back and finds another gear.

The idea is try to get into th playoffs, the Oilers need to do something with their goalie situation. Mantha and Bennet would help the forward group even though they need D. If this doesn't work then they then make a move for a D soon after or by the TDL. Of they can't find a way to win regardless of these trades they need to do something. Even if they get a chance at a good pick this year (again?) They won't be ready for another how many years? Use that pick to bring in a difference makes on D or rework the D this offseason UFA/trades and sign Raanta or any one else really? They have a ton of cap this offseason, it's time for Holland to make it happen or its another decade of darkness and 1st overall picks.

I know the season is young and spots 3-5 in the north are stil anybody's but let's gooo! Figure it out haha

Mantha starts with Broberg or Bouchard. Likely adding in Puljujarvi in there too.

Call it an overpay, but Mantha has very strong analytics and is signed on a great deal with term. Detroit has no reason to move him for nothing short of something that blows them away.

DET declines, as Mantha is their 2nd best

I think that Detroit values Mantha about the same as Toronto values Nylander.

Just offering my two cents because I'll never see either one of them playing a home game in Southern California.

I agree, he's their second be best forward but that's not a good thing.. that is an overpay.. I know he's worth more then a second and Larsson but he's not worth a top D prospect from anyone. JP thrown in makes sense (still not ready give up on him though)..

I agree he has value to the team because he's one of their best forwards but Nylander is way better in my opinion. I don't think there's an actual trade available for Mantha, unless they keep scratching him and Holland makes a call for an old player of his.
