September Moves

Created by: CD282
Team: 2019-20 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 2, 2019
Published: Sep. 3, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
I'm thinking Sheahan will be given a PTO, so I didn't sign him.

The Connor trade was suggested on another thread I posted, the signing amount is based on Evolving Wild's estimate.

A lot of you think Puljujarvi is a bust and Kyrou a hot prospect, but are ignoring the fact that they are the same age. This trade is based on JP having a hot start to the season in Finland (3 points and +3 in 2 Champions League games so far). This is the sort of return I think is best - an NHL ready (or nearly) prospect and pick.

The idea behind the lines is to form 2 outscoring lines, an easy minutes 3rd line and a defensive 4th line.

Yeah that's way too much for STL, Champions League is no comparison. Pretty sure the rangers wanted Kyrou for Kreider and STL said no.

"This trade is based on JP having a hot start to the season in Finland"

The Liiga season hasn't started yet in Finland.

Kreider is a rental, not the same thing at all.

Kyrou has 16 nhl games.

JP has over 100.

That’s a huge difference. Age does not matter, one can’t hold an NHL job after being given multiple season. One hasn’t made a full debut yet/ been given multiple season. Let alone also adding a 2020 pick makes this trade way off

This was not this past season, this is when Kreider had term. 2017-2018 perhaps.

True. Puljujarvi is an established NHL 3rd-line forward, with plenty of potential to become a game-changing top-six forward, and Kyrou is two days older than JP and remains a prospect with 16-games of NHL experience and potential to become a very good NHL player. Regardless of any rumor about a trade involving Kreider for Kyrou, the facts are what they are.

You have a couple of things wrong:

- age DOES matter
- Puljujarvi CAN hold an NHL job, he played injured all season and still only spent 4 games in the AHL

Despite being "properly" developed, Kyrou only managed 3 points in 16 NHL games this year, less than the pace Puljujarvi scored at while playing in pain - evidenced by the fact that 2018-19 was his lowest scoring pace in 3 years.

Puljujarvi has played because Edmonton has no depth on their team. He has struggled to find a place on the roster consistently. St. Louis just won the cup. They have plenty of depth so it isn't as easy to make the team.

An alternative narrative is that St. Louis loaded up with veterans in order to compete, beyond a phenomenal young goaltender, their prospect pool is/was not strong enough to contribute to that championship.

I wouldn't trade Kyrou mostly because of his skillset - he is going to bring much needed speed to the lineup, and he'll be a good right-hand shot option for the power play. His NHL time was lousy last year, but he really excelled in the A and should be a lot more seasoned/ready when he gets his shot this year. It can be a tricky adjustment from doing whatever you want as a 20-yr old in junior to being a responsible 2-way pro in the NHL.
