Oh man that Oilers trade is bad!

How so?

Rangers accept

Swap in Roussel for Baertschi and VAN might think about that one.

Broberg is worth more than that package alone. Labanc will need a new contract and Edmonton doesn't have much cap room.

could you imagine... Hughes and Burns as a top D pairing.... who's gonna play defense?

Seems almost certain to me that Holland would much rather keep Puljujarvi and Broberg. As stated above, Broberg's value to the Oilers is significantly more than you've determined. Adding to the improbability of that trade is Puljujarvi's projected ceiling, in comparison to Labanc's. JP is younger, bigger, stronger, faster, has a heavier shot, and during his three years of misery in Edmonton he was actually reasonably responsible defensively while offering occasional flashes of offensive dominance and an ability to play effectively with McDavid. I think Holland wants to get him back to Edmonton, and see if he succeeds in a new regime. If Puljujarvi flops again, so be it.

I would not want to touch the Burns contract. He is 35 now and has a cap hit of 8 till summer 2025. I would not touch this contract without a return.

No thanks would rather Broberg. I think we could get Labanc for less than Puljujarvi and Broberg.

Vancouver doesn’t want burns no one does, also that oilers trade is horrible

I see. I'd be fine without Broberg. Maybe Jones instead?

He'll be on your 2nd D Pair with Edler

I believe Holland's strategy regarding Puljujarvi has changed as time has gone by. Early on in this saga he was rumored to have asked for Bryan Rust when Jim Rutherford inquired about JP. He was later rumored to have been looking for a draft pick and young NHL forward under team control. Holland may have changed his expectations since then, but it is obvious that he has not received an offer he feels is fair. I may be feeling overly optimistic, but I think Holland is working on bringing the player back to Edmonton.

Puljujarvi is an RFA without arbitration rights, he can be signed for a relatively paltry sum. If it turns out that he remains a 3rd line player, he will still bring value to the Oilers as a player or trade piece. His contract will be a relative deal and his trade value would likely to remain about the same. He can be exposed in the Seattle expansion draft, which might help deflect attention from other Oiler assets that the GM would like to hang onto. If Puljujarvi comes back and proves to be a top six forward, Holland can resign him and protect him in the expansion draft, or get a far better return for him in a trade.

In my mind, I can see only one scenario in which Holland trades JP before next season. If, at the draft, a prospect Holland really wants remains available, and if the offer for JP includes a draft pick that allows Holland to select that prospect, then a deal might occur.

he was pretty unspectacular in the SHL this year, I think ur overrating him a bit

I think he had exactly what was expected out of him as a 18 year old playing in that league. Please look into other 18 year old Dmen who played in the SHL im guessing everything who only put up 8 points turned out to be busts. You obviously don't know much about hockey.

where did i say he was a bust.....? You alright?

What happened with lablanc this season. Dude for some stupid reason takes a 1 mil deal. His agent should be fired

In the Rangers trade it's assumed that Andersson's value is a 3rd and a 6th. I think that's a huge overpay.

And even with that, I'd personally want nothing to do with Andersson. He's a complete bust in my opinion.

He must have Raheem Mostert's agent
