Description
The free agency market doesn't look like the fix to the Jets 2C dilemna. Scheifele and Wheeler have to each take a line and lead it to success.

Trading Ehlers doesn't seem the right idea to replace Trouba when Myers is available and capable.

With Laine, Puljujarvi, Roslovic and Vesalainen on the wings for lines 2 and 3, there is a lot of defensive liabilities but offensive explosiveness. I could see some growing pains in the first half of the season.

Hopefully Laine, Puljujarvi, Vesalainen and Niku can inspire each other to be better. Tons of potential in that group.

I like the Oilers trade, but I see Roslovic spotting into that second line and potentially taking the 2C horns from wheeler if his play progresses. If Roslovic doesn’t get more ice-time this year we 100% lose him. I think PoMo needs to get canned. I love the guy but it just doesn’t seem like he’s the coach to get us over the hump. He’s too much like Babcock, he plays his vets too much and never wants to rely on the young guys when they need the extra ice for growth.

Roslovic definitely deserves the time over Puljujarvi. The thinking was simply to try to get Laine and Puljujarvi back on track by putting them with one of the best set up man in the game. I actually had three scoring lines at first with Connor-Scheifele-Roslovic, Laine-Wheeler-Puljujarvi, Vesalainen-Little-Ehlers and Copp-Lowry-Appleton.

Edmonton declines. Need wingers not goalies. Roslovic or no deal.

I like that thought a lot, in my mind I see the lines fitting well as:

Connor-Schiefele-Laine
Ehlers-Wheeler-Roslovic
Vesalainen-Little-Puljujärvi
Copp-Lowry-Appleton

I think it’s time for Schief to carry that line with KFC and Laine. I also think this would benefit Laine a lot as there is a lot of creativity and talent on that line. It would also make our second line extremely fast and dangerous. I think the 3rd line would possibly struggle in the dzone with the 2 unproven youngsters but that’s where they may get 4th line minutes. Copp&Lowry will always be a great shutdown duo and adding Appleton to that line just gives them the offensive threat they need, plus all three of them can play centre.

I was going to just add that my only worry for EDM trade is that it’s not enough, you guys could use comrie as he needs somewhere to break out, he’s stuck in WPG behind brossoit and helly and has no chance. He can be a NHL goaltender, he just needs a chance somewhere. I think if the jets added to this trade it could get done.

Read on the Score website that the Oilers want a 3rd line winger for Pulujarvi, wonder if they'd have any interest in Perreault, the Jets would probably have to take someone back though like Manning.

Wheeler at C is a decent option, but when he plays along side Scheifle they are an elite duo.

That's what I thought as well, who knows though there's so much media speculation, it could be nonsense.

I agree, definitely not the goalie the Oilers need. Do not agree Roslovic or nothing though.

See: Shane Starrett. The Oilers have 5 signed goaltenders. Adding another one that isn’t going to challenge for the #1 spot is probably a non starter.

Yeah I just realized that they had quite a few goaltenders down the pipe. I just am not sold on koskinen and you have no defined backup, I could see comrie giving Starrett a run for his money for the backup job.

Then who? Don’t want Perrault he’s too old, Ehlers costs too much ( I wouldn’t want him even if we could afford him), Laine and Connor would cost more financially and asset wise and they can afford that either. Roslovic is perfect. Same age, both have under performed and both want out.

Holland has been out explaining the Oilers want an experienced NHL goaltender that can play 30-40 games, they aren’t to confident in Koskinen either lol. Sounds like Starrett won’t be getting a shot without injuries until 20-21.

Just saying it doesn’t have to be Roslovic or nothing. I think they’d be alright with Spacek, Vallati, and a pick kind of thing

Nah Roslovic straight up for JP. He may want out of Edmonton but we don’t have to trade him so Holland won’t sell low. Even if he goes to Europe or the KHL we still have his rights for 4 more years. Holland has and will wait it out for the right trade.

The only stat that Puljujarvi leads Roslovic is redonculous memes. We were all fooled at the 2016 draft. Proves just how good Aho really was/is. Laine and Poolparty got all the headlines at the WJC.

I like Jack R more than JP right now for sure. Plus he's a C by trade and that's more valuable.
Heard a rumour about JP to the caps for Burkovsky +. Makes sense to reunite McDavid and Burkovsky from their junior days, plus the oilers cant sit on JP...they need some skilled wingers beside McDavid ASAP
