Ya that is a big no from boston Nuge is a better winger now and isn't the greatest at draws. his play style fits what boston wants centering hall and pasta but definitely not at this price, carlo holds more value then nuge and especially to the B's he is worth much more, nuge's contract is also questionable i like the price but not the term

Interesting boston trade. I don’t think they accept, but its definitely interesting. I think it would come down to whether or not the bruins like RNH as a winger or a center.

This is worse than doing nothing. Why are you throwing out Barrie and Yamamoto like yesterday's trash? Why are you giving Freddie Andersen $7M?? Why are you signing Drouin at all?! Why are you trading Nuge for a defensive D?!?!

Why Does RNH sign a club friendly contract with a NMC then waive?

I would say this roster is worse than the current one, which is saying something.

Oilers have to pay a decent price for a 38 year old Keith from Chicago, but Barrie (a great puck mover, signed to a fair deal, who is one season removed from leading all dmen in points) returns nothing? I boggles my mind how disrespected Barrie is on this site. No doubt he isn’t a top pairing all around dman. But you limit his TOI to 15-18 mins with pp time and he does his job at a high level. Makes zero sense to me that people value him at nothing and even have the oilers paying a decent price just to “dump” him.

As already mentioned, Nuge isn’t signing a team friendly deal just to waive his NMC. Nuges loyalty and style of play is what the oilers need more of.

Bouchard deal is a wild overpayment for now. He is way too unreliable defensively to garner an AAV like that at this point. I get that this deal is in the future, but he has a lot to work on. Hoping he does, but his aggressiveness and compete level have been a glaring issue ever since junior, so I’m a little nervous about it.
Don’t hate the Kane deal… it would be in the best interest of the oilers to cap it at 2 years. But if he keeps producing like he is, they may be competing with other teams, driving up the term and money.
The time to sign Andersen would have been last season. Once his deal is done with the canes, he will be past his prime and more risky.
I don’t understand dumping a middle 6 winger who’s good on the pk for nothing. Just why?

If he was, he'd be making $9M+. Why can't people see this?

Carlo wouldn’t waive

Barrie is trash

Too much for Yamamoto who looks more and more like a one year wonder everyday
