What's the point?

Nurse has taken an excellent leap forward this year. I was one of his biggest critics last season and I've been impressed so far. It's fully possible that he's a late bloomer. We have Broberg and Samorukov pushing: even if Jones is lost to Seattle, there's still quality coming. Lagesson's been much better than I thought he'd be thus far. Everything more or less comes down to Klefbom being healthy next season: if he is, Edmonton's leftorium is fine once Russell gets his ticket to Bakersfield. If not, the Oilers are simply looking at a short-term solution in UFA.

This team is currently showing that even with half a blueline, they're really just a goaltender and a bonafide #3C short. Either use assets to get two quality goaltenders to tandem or grab one in free agency and hope that one of Skinner/Konovalov/Rodrigue are homegrown. Hunt Staal and other veteran fits for the #3C role until McLeod makes it his own. Trading pieces for an area where that kind of investment it isn't needed is merely a waste of assets. There's value in looking at Nurse objectively: subjective mindsets is how Hall and Eberle get traded for fractions of their worth.

With Nurse, Broberg, Jones, Samorukov and a possible return of Klefbom why bother?

Edmonton really needs a youngish LW or RW more then a LHD.

Setting aside that none of those players are available, the real question is what would you give up for them? Silly details, I know. grin

Given the fact that your profile pic is a Blue's player, I'd figure you'd know Dunn has been heavily speculated to be on the trade block

A 1B or starter, a 30 - 40 point 3C with defensive capability, and I'd argue that finding a RHD capable of playing 22+ minutes/night is crucial. Barrie had 25:18 toi against Toronto. That's pretty ridiculous he's a PP specialist

Bouchard should be growing into that role over time and Bear needs more minutes.

I think the blueline is what it is this season, and that Tippett should be looking at running 7D as often as possible against the better teams in the division. That load needs to be shared much more evenly, and until we have a bonafide #3C, it's a matter of load management for McDavid, Draisaitl, and Nugent-Hopkins with the extraneous wingers.

Yea, definitely not something we upgrade mid-season. There's no UFA RD's this summer that fill the role we need on the top pair. imo a trade might be the only answer for that. I think it's too early to be giving Bouch or Bear 22+ minutes each night next season. Relying on them would set us up to have mediocre defence again. In 2-3 seasons they'll be ready to play big minutes, and be reliable in both ends of the ice. We need someone who is sound defensively instead of Barrie logging 25 minutes. Bring in a guy who can actually play top pair minutes and if Bouch or Bear earn more ice time then that makes our defence even stronger

A 3C, goalie and potentially a top 6 winger are easily found in free agency

I'm torn regarding Barrie, especially knowing how the game is played during the playoffs. I think I'd almost rather see Edmonton move him for a pick or two at the deadline and continue to roll through Bear, Bouchard, and Larsson on the right. Russell could step in on that side if needed for a few minutes per game. Bouchard can absolutely take the powerplay minutes and is already more defensively responsible.

I like the idea of Savard for a 2-3 year deal as a Larsson replacement for next year and continuing the mentality of platooning the starboardmen alongside the notably stronger leftorium. I think Hamilton is nonsensical.

Praying for Grubauer, Staal, and a Nugent-Hopkins extension out of free agency next season. I think Holloway makes the roster and Kahun extends.

Grubauer, Stall, extending Nuge and Kahun would all be great. Every game it looks like Yamo's new deal will be cheaper, saving extra cap room. A veteran who actually contributes something is much needed. Tipp likes his veterans so someone like Stall would work well at 3C.

Trading Barrie likely wouldn't impact our record at all, I hope it happens, we could use some 2nd/3rd round picks. Bouch and Nurse could easily maintain our current PP%. Bouch's defensive numbers are better than Barrie's, although he's been pretty sheltered. Realistically, I doubt we move Barrie because he signed this cheap "show me" deal in Edmonton, publicly making it know that he was here to rack up some points and get paid next summer. It would be a bad look trading him 2 months into the season when he appears to be clicking well here. I assume we'll overplay him all year and let him walk in free agency

I really don't think there are any upgrades for Larsson in free agency. Unless we make a big upgrade by bringing in a top pair RD, I don't see why we disrupt morale and chemistry by letting him walk. If our top 3 RD next year were 1. Bear 2. Bouch 3. Larsson/Savard/(any similar 2nd/3rd pair RD) I'd be somewhat disappointed. Realistically that's a bottom 10 RD depth chart in the league currently. In a few years it could be one of the best with Bouch and Bear growing their games and transitioning to the NHL. If we don't upgrade this summer we're wasting time imo. The left side at least has Nurse

Yeah... lazy, unsubstantiated speculation that every purveyor quickly backed away from and pretended to forget. It was all nonsense.

If the team wants to be as successful as possible - on and off of the ice - moving Barrie at the deadline is the shrewd kind of move that needs to be made. Hockey is a business: if we already have the players that can do what Barrie does and he's ultimately remained a defensive liability, pull the trigger and give the club more assets to do long-term damage with.

Larsson's inability to remain consistent and growing concerns about how injuries have affected his performance are very valid reasons to move on from him. Savard does everything Larsson does equally as good, if not better while also coming with less tangible risk.

I don't believe this club needs to add a game-breaking defenceman in order to be on track to achieve anything. We just saw a stretch of hockey where half-assed goaltending turned this team into something that might threaten the Leafs for #1 in the division (they won't, but they could). What point is there in adding a defenceman if this club's woes for years has been missing out on that key, timely save? Edmonton has better defenders than the Leafs, full stop. I'm not worried about them becoming "Leafs West" if they continue to play to their strengths by adding a potent third line and finding two goaltenders that actually have the skill to play behind this team. Unless Klefbom cannot return, there's no need for Edmonton to add a defender beyond a Larsson replacement.

Even if Broberg and Samorukov start in Bakersfield (they should) and Jones is lost to Seattle (highly probable), a left side of Nurse-Klefbom-Lagesson is far from poor. The game is so much more about puck mobility now; the extra year for Bear and Bouchard will pay dividends. Bottom-10 is a gross over-exaggeration. League average is probably more apt. League average defence with above average goaltending and outstanding offense makes the Oilers a threat. That should be the focus.

Our defence really is quite bad on paper although we can win games when everyone follows Tippett's system. Here's how our defense stacks up in the NHL

Unless Bouch and Bear really elevate their game next season I'd argue our defence gets worse if Barrie walks and we replace Larsson with a similar player

Larsson is sticking around. One of Bear or Barrie is gone.
