Claiming mrazek would a horrible mistake. And the kraken would probably want more for soucy.

Nothing really to do with this trade scenario, but I am curious. How has Pulju been playing as of late?

Can't finish but the other team rarely touches the puck when he's on the ice. He typically causes a 10+% jump in CF% and GF% with whoever he's playing with.

Speaking as a Leaf fan, may God bless you

Sounds like it is a common trait for top 5 Finnish picks.

Pens should do it.. But I think Rust is what you need

Don't like any of this for the Oilers.

Moving Barrie would be a mistake. Hes a great puck mover and looks great when he plays 18 mins max a night. Nurse/Russell/Keith are not good puck movers. Barrie has a reasonable contract and is liked in the room.

Braun is a fraction of the player he used to be. Rumour is he will cost around a 3rd. As of right now, a 2nd for a player of his calibre is too much. Would not be happy with that at all.

I get that you are dumping Kassian which I would like to see, but the oilers have a limited selection of quality trade chips. Moving a good pick that could turn into a 1st for Kapanen is waaaay off the mark. He has been horrible. I'd be fine with it being a 2nd, but that condition is bad. I understand that if you make the conference finals you are happy. But ultimately a 1st for Kapanen is bad

I like the idea of targeting Forsberg for this year, but he hasn't been a starter and is having a nice little run this season. And as mentioned above, the Oilers have few valuable trade chips. A 1st for a 3rd line UFA and a career backup on a nice run is poor asset management. Both are due contracts. Paul would be a rental given the Oilers limited cap space. And although Forsberg would be reasonable to resign, A Forsberg-Skinner duo next season is not exactly a duo I'd be confident in.

Claiming Mrazek is hilariously bad. If Holland brings up the name Mrazek through trade or waivers, he should immediately be let go. Mrazek is not a good goalie and on a multi-year contract. He had good numbers playing behind the best defensive team in Carolina, which is no doubt due to their system, seeing how Raanta and Andersen are preforming this year. We need an upgrade on goalies. Koskinen is playing like a top 10 goalie his last 15 starts. It makes sense to just run with what we have for the remainder of the season, then look to trade for a legitimate starter in the offseason. Claiming Mrazek only helps the leafs get out of his contract. I am worried that Holland likes him from his time in detroit and if they make that move, it will hinder their flexibility that much more come the offseason. No to Mrazek at all costs.

thank god you are not the gm
