Bolstering an 8-1-1 Team

Created by: CD282
Team: 2019-20 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Oct. 21, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
This trade takes place after the MN game tomorrow.

I think Tippett MUST find a way to reduce the top line's minutes, and having a dependable 3C would go a long way towards that.

Also, I'm adding Bear to the 1st PP unit as it hasn't scored in a couple of games now, I think it needs a slightly different look.

We need a 2LW too, but I'm happy to wait until Christmas and call up Benson at that point, if he doesn't work out and the team is still in contention then a deadline replacement might be in order (unless Jurco, Nygard or Khaira have seized the job). Kreider is my #1 candidate.

Klefbom-Benning has been excellent as a pairing historically - better than Klefbom-Russell, so that should give the Oilers a solid top-4 for now. I firmly believe that Lagesson is better than Manning is, so that upgrades the 3rd pair. He can also PK (Manning hasn't been taking any of those minutes), he's got shutdown ability, good mobility and a good outlet pass.

I think Gagner will draw in against MN (we won't know until tomorrow), I'm not sure he gets a permanent position next to Staal but it's worth a shot. Its not a fast line, but all of Archibald, Nygard, Haas and Yamamoto will get opportunities to play here.

Minnesota reject, there are teams that would give up more for a reliable 2C like Eric Staal

No they don't. This was their ask

this AGM is a middle ground to what I would have offered.

Comments on that one have "Ideally a 1st, if not a 2nd and an OK prospect".

I'd assume that Minny doesn't feel the need to give away Staal for someone who might have an impact in 3-4 years.

Maybe something that involves Poolparty instead?

Yup.


Mid game, he's just going to switch sides. Doesn't have socks though so he will have to wear minny socks and pants with the oilers whites.

Isn't that why the Sens traded Duchene to Columbus last year? Columbus was already in town, so Melnyk didn't have to pay for Duchene's flight.

It happens. I just wish I'd made the trade BEFORE the game: Staal got 2 goals + 1 assist in a 3-0 win for the Wild. Bah!
