EDM OTT Trades

Created by: newmy
Team: 2019-20 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 11, 2019
Published: Jul. 11, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
EDM - OTT Trade Rationale:
- Bobby Ryan is due approx $20.5MM for the remainder of his contract (assuming the $2.0MM signing bonus is paid by OTT this year).
- Milan Lucic is due approx $16.0MM for the remainder of his contract (assuming the $3.0MM signing bonus is paid by EDM this year).
- By taking Lucic, OTT saves $4.5MM in total cash / salary paid, even though his contract goes for one year longer than the Ryan contract.
- Lucic + PoolParty may not be enough for OTT to move along a proven 1st/2nd line player (albeit overpaid). They need help on defence to shield their prospects, so Benning would be a solid sweetener to get this deal done.

EDM - OTT Trade Verdict:
- OTT saves on cash paid over the next four years by taking on Lucic (and letting Ryan go).
- OTT gains a good locker room leader in Lucic, and someone who can protect their prospects.
- OTT gets solid prospect which fits into their rebuild model.
- OTT gets solid 3rd pair RD with minimal term to shield prospects for one year.
- EDM gets proven 1st/2nd winger to player with McDavid/RNH.
- EDM moves out Benning salary to make room for better puck moving prospect D's (and cheaper).

Other Moves:
- EDM gains cap room from OTT Trade and usess it to sign Dzingel to $4.5MM for 4/5 years to play wing with McDavid or RNH.

Overall Verdict:
- EDM puts together an Okay team for 19-20, one that can compete but will likely still struggle to make playoffs.
- Real benefit for EDM is that they will have 5 Top-6 players signed beyond this year, and make plenty of room (both physical spots and cap) to significantly bolster the bottom-6 and D, and allow for prospects to move up (i.e. Yamo, Benson, Broberg, Bear, etc.).

Hah... is that a good "No F***ing way"? Or are you mimicking Kenny having a revelation that this move would help the mess he currently has?

This is really brilliant, but I think you may have missed one trick: unless I am wrong, Edmonton gets an additional benefit in that Ryan doesn't have an NMC and Lucic does, so Edmonton doesn't have to protect a forward on the downside of his career from the expansion draft.

Given where Ottawa is currently, I'd rather see Ryan named Captain than traded. Bobby Ryan is a good hockey player, and an important locker room leader for this young team. Lucic is dog poop.

The extra year on the Lucic contract is the killer for Ottawa. The sens are going to have pretty much all of their young stars on their big contracts by the 4th year, and they can't afford to have 6mil of wasted cap space

The oilers can’t, he has an NMC with them.

Good point; I’m not sure of the rules of the NMC clause following a trade. But I’m understanding was if it’s waived to be traded, the new team (ie OTT) has the choice to honour or not honour the NMC clause going forward. Not 100% sure on that though.

Regardless, Edmonton is relieved of the burden of protecting only 6 forwards that it really wants to keep instead of 7.

No way Ottawa gets Benning and Puljujarvi in a Lucic-for-Ryan swap. No way at all.

That’s why PoolParty and Benning are included in the trade... Sens would be insane not to say yes.

If Puljujarvi doesn't break 40pts in the next 2 years they lose that trade

Perfect!! That deal stinks for Ottawa. Edmonton thinking that Puljujarvi has any real value is hilarious. Yakupov 2.0 right here..

No way Ottawa absorbs 3 duds for 1...
