Okay woah, why is there a sudden rush of these Kane trades? I personally do not want him... another left shot and the player with the most PIM in the league.. do not want that. Also, cannot see Oilers making that trade. We have our top 4 on D set, why add another one in Skjei? Would prefer to sign a cheaper FA.

I think u r giving up too much for Skjei, he is not as good as people think and definitely not worth his current contract

-he is a very good player that could add grit and goal scoring for the team and also a very good penalty killer. we would have him at the same price of hornqvist who I love but is not as good.
-why not? oilers desperately need a goalie and can't afford a third line center with that contract and with mcdavid, LD and james neal making that much money
-i see what you meen.. but in my opinion petterson wasn't this good this year i personally expected more out of him.. he looked more like a 5th/6th D not top 4 worthy.

I get it but I rather add someone other than Kane. A RW for me is the ideal target. Koskinen had a decent year and they are already stuck with that contract, so I only see them adding a decent backup. RNH had a sick year and he played really well with Yamamoto, so I do not see them moving him. I also think that since we committed such a large contract to Pettersson, we just gotta put the trust in him. Marino and Pettersson, at one point, were ranked 5th best pairing in advanced stats, so I am not too worried.

-which RW?
-true but i think that EDM knows that they got lucky with a mediocre year from koskinen and they will do something to repair that...mine is obviously a very stretched trade with rnh being very good but i believe many people are underestimating murrays value in particular in the postseason.
-i guess you are right.. we should just have some patience with them....but if there is a chance to better your team in the next couple of years i'd go all in... i mean we probably have max of two to three years of sid and geno after this one. after that we will start rebuilding with them slowly aging why not try to get another cup in this small window

No thank you. I would rather keep Nugent-Hopkins.

sure but with that goalie tandem you are not going to win anything... the meaning of this thing was to get a top 6 winger, top 4 D and trade murray for an elite 3C

someone in SJS with multiple accounts must really want to create a rumor that the penguins and SJS want a trade or something.
Because no penguins fan wants this at all.

EDM isn't doing that, it's pure garbage.

I'm a pens fan and I wouldn't mind this trade at all

I see what you mean but Edmonton also needs Nugent-Hopkins on there forward group. And I would call Nugent-Hopkins a 2c or a top 6 winger, but ya in Pittsburgh he would be a 3c.

no it's not, if you knew the value of murray you would at least think of it...then decline if you want too but as far as value goes they are right there

RNH is one of 3 reliable forwards that EDM has. They move him and McDavid would F explode.

This isn't even worth debating. Every single oilers fan would tell you this is a horribly bad move for EDM. I'm not even an EDM fan and I know it's a horribly bad move.

you're right mcdavid doesn't know that without a good goalie you can't go anywhere... if EDM doesn't get a goalie they will never pass the first round...(only time in the playoffs talbot was unreal) EDM can't just wait that all of their many horrible contracts expire they have to pay to let them go and retool via free agency... too bad that normally great goalies don't hit FA (this year is lehner or holtby which EDM can't afford, murray was perfect also because of the money he is going to ask for)
but you're right it's not even worth debating with you
that is my personal opinion, I see it differently then you do and that is ok... that doesn't mean you know more about hockey or I do

plus they will never do it because of their two stars and rightfully so... but the way that roster is built you would need a huge rebuild..

first of all other than Neal, they don't really have "horrible" contracts.
Their biggest cap issues are more the fact that they did dumb things like bought players out and retained. Which ate up 5 million in cap.
Second of all Koskinen had a, 0.917 save% this year. and 0.906 his rookie year.
Over the past 3 years Murray has been 0.899, 0.919, 0.907.

So keep thinking that losing RNH is somehow, worth them making this nonsense trade. It's not.
End of story

I like that Kane trade
What do you think @Papishark

oh kris russel has a great contract... oh kassian too a 4th liner that will be paid 3.5M... will see if nurse will earn his money... oh and btw if they bought players out is because they did have loads of **** contracts...
buddy if you compare murray to koskinen you just sound dumb........ end of story..........

No chance EDM does that tho

yeah i get that... because of the roster structure but the value of the two players is not that far

Haha no Murray isn’t that consistent and RNH fits perfectly as their best 2way player

oilers hang up

Koski had a better season this year than murray

yeah and you guys overpaid for tanev
Sure murray has so far had the better career than koski but still koski outplayed murray this season

I’m not sure, Is Horn just a dump here? Cause if this deal has value coming from him I’d rather upgrade one of the picks to a first. Otherwise seems pretty fair, but I’d rather get quality than quantity if I have the choice.

Hallander is a great prospect tho
