Team: 2023-24 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 11, 2023

Published: Jan. 11, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Gonna try to be as realistic as possible while assuming that both drai and mcdavid don't request trades (although I think drai requests one if we don't make it this yr)

quickly to address some guys kept questionably; Nurse and Campbell. Simply put these are untradeable contracts so we are stuck with them.

The trades here are split between deals made during this current season as well as deals made in the offseason.

Need to make some big moves but, also have to keep the studs. I think this does that by overhauling the b6 to prioritize defending with a touch of production, giving holloway the much needed top 6 spot he deserves, and moving nuge up to the top 6 to get him producing 5v5. On d, the big move is obviously chych and some young guys with bite in Neem and vinny taking a step forward. most likely bouch and nurse bounce back after a rough season which should help greatly. the Chych addition should also help limit ceci nure's minute which should help drive up play quality. Hands are tied in net, stu is great but that Campbell deal is an anchor unless he can find his game.

like maybe an extra pick or a b prospect would be part of the deal. I think lafferty is as good as gone given that Chicago is taking the train to tanksville

Sure. Add a 3rd and probably CHI accepts. But you'd probably be better off finding a team that is actually interested in JP or just let him walk. Most teams won't be interested in giving up assets for him with the QO he is due. So, I can't really see anyone trading for his rights.

I don't think Seattle's going to be interested in giving up a fourth round pick to swap the Flying Dutchman for a more expensive and less productive Yamamoto.

Lafferty signed an extension during the tank.

you are trading rfa rights of a bottom 6 player for a hometown kid that is still young with a friendly QO that you still control for a few yrs that brings physicality and forechecking to the lineup

your point being? its a trade and lafferty has no caluses in his contract relating to trades. hed still have a yr left so the oilers would have control of him for a year.

You made it seem like lafferty wanted out because the hawks are tanking. I think he only gets traded if someone overpays for him. He's the hardworking type of player you want the younger guys on a rebuilding team to learn from

Looking at this piece by piece,

Because of the Kraken's forward depth, both Sprong and Yamamoto would likely be bottom six players in Seattle. Sprong has flat out performed better than Yamamoto this season in a lesser role. The difference between them in age is also only a year, so both could still be considered young players.

with a friendly QO that you still control for a few yrs

Both Sprong and Yamamoto still have RFA control, and Sprong's QO is only $900k this offseason, while Yamamoto's will be $3.2M.

Quoting: jjkhairaELTE99

that brings physicality and forechecking to the lineup

Yamamoto is the better defensive player for sure, but Sprong has improved his game to become much more of a two-way player. I would say that the gap between Sprong's offensive output and Yamamoto's is greater than the difference in their defense.

That's all not to say that there's zero chance the Kraken wouldn't entertain a trade of this basic framework, but if they did, it wouldn't be for the reasons listed here. I could envision a scenario where GMRF decides to sell high on Sprong and buy low on Yamamoto, but in that scenario the Kraken would want a draft pick coming back to them, not going out.

Agreed. Or a straight 1 for 1 could be a possiblilty as well
