OEL?

Team: 2018-19 Edmonton Oilers

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Dreger said some things on the radio, so I did some things on CapFriendly. Probably doesn't happen, and I'm a bigger fan of keeping Klefbom and using RNH to acquire a RHD (nevermind vehemently not wanting to trade this year's 1st), but that's the price.

The RD is still a big question mark for this team, but hopefully Petrovic grows into the player he was supposed to be, and Rutta continues to have some semblance of NHL success.

      Too much for OEL, Sekers doesnt take that contract and give up Scandella, and Russell & Sekera wont waive their NMCs anyway, so ?

      Klefbom has top 2 potential+RNH is still young. A bit of an overpay but solid idea

      "Too much for OEL" was not something I woke up expecting to read this morning, so thanks for that. How much too much?

      I mean Russell might if Katz promises to buy Mr. Cowboy a ranch beside Shane Doan's. Sekera might waive to go back to Buffalo, but the odds of the Sabres upgrading on their LHD with a guy like Sekera are slim.

      Too much to pay OEL just on salary alone He isn't a top 5 or even 10 in the NHL. Oiler better get this notion that they have to pay top dollar for all UFAs, Sekera, OEL, Lucic because that will lead to Cap Hell easily. Even paying too much for McDavid and Draisatl might not work out either.

      OEL could come to Edm for RNH+C.Jones+2018 2nd at the draft. Reasoning:
      1. RNH could be the Yotes next big C potentially.
      2. Jones is reportedly, as I quote, “rocketing up the Oilers prospect chart”.
      3. That 2nd rounder will be a high 2nd with where the Oilers are right now.
      So I feel this one a little more fair, but otherz can give their opinions on it.

      I don't get the love for OEL. Nurse and Klefbom are a really solid top two LHD going forward as long as Klefbom stops getting injured. If we need anything it is a puck moving RHD. When Sekera and Russell give their trade lists in summer 2019 I hope we don't trade one of them for a 4m bottom pairing LHD. Again lets see what Jones and Bear develop into before we trade prospects away. The best teams develop from within. Also, I bet RNH could score as many goals as Neal playing LW and can play center if McD or Drai get hurt.

      If Sekera regains his form, that trade is terrible for us, if he doesn't, then Buffalo won't make the trade.

      Benning has a higher ceiling than petrovic, but I get the trade considering he is a RHD.

      It's hard to imagine the Coyotes trading OEL and all signs point to him re-signing on July 1st.

      To trade him to Edmonton, the following three very unlikely things would have to happen:
      1) Coyotes win 1st overall
      2) OEL refuses to re-sign on July 1st
      3) OEL agrees to sign extension with EDM and Coyotes trade him within conference to the Oilers

      On the off chance the first 2 happen, the 3rd one seems pretty unlikely unless it's an overpay that no Eastern Conference team is willing to beat.

      No way that a budget-conscious team like the Coyotes can afford to take on that much salary in a trade. Also, it’s unlikely that Russell would waive his no-movement clause to go to the desert.
