As is tradition of the Oilers cycling through Leafs defencemen, I'm really (not) looking forward to the inevitable Holl-Puljujarvi swap and Edmonton giving another Bud a swing.


Honestly I think a swap of Parayko and Ceci makes a ton of sense. The blues are gonna retool for a year or two, Ceci has 2 years, we can suffer through that np. We’re gonna suffer either way a little while. Something like Ceci, Puljujarvi, 1st. It works capwise. But 🤷‍♂️. Idk.

Boston dodged a bullet by not trading for gavrikov. Orlov provides 2x the value and Hathaway is a very good 3rd line forward who plays a playoff style game. They should win the cup with this lineup.

There's maybe a bit of optimism with Gavrikov bouncing back to when he posted really solid numbers (Eddy's just cooked) but there's a record somewhere stating he's not extending here even if Edmonton acquires him. Feels like a waste.

In all honesty I don't subscribe to Edmonton needing to add a LD to take the load off of Nurse. They need someone better for him to play with than Ceci. I'd really like Tanev if Calgary is thinking of standing pat for the season and I'd happily pay out the nose for his services.


Seems like Edmonton doesn't know what they need and aren't willing to pay to get it anyway.
There's options out there. Time to pick a target and commit.
The west is vulnerable this year with 5-7 teams already throwing in the towel, but the east is really pushing with Boston, Toronto, and NYR, all making big moves and the Canes and Devils are dangerous even if they do nothing. If the goal is just to make a deep run, they might be fine, but if you run into any of those teams in the final they're going to be outmatched.

Blues want nothing to do with Ceci

Can't wait for mukomboi's feedback on anything in that realm that doesn't see a Karlsson-esque return sent back to St. Louis.

I hear ya. I’m a huge Parayko fan too. It’s just a timing issue.

I guess from a timing standpoint, If he’s dealt, he’s gonna go somewhere in which the contending window is open right now or very soon. He’s about to turn 30 and has 7 more years after this of term.

If he’s traded, whomever acquires will have to assume that backend risk.

Meanwhile we will be retooling or rebuilding, and when we’re pushing hard again he will be near or at 35.

His contract made sense before my team crapped the bed, it let us keep his aav low to cram as much into the roster as possible. Now that the roster is being blown up it’s just a bad timing issue all around.

He should go to a current contender imo. He’ll be wasted if.not. Who knows though, maybe my gm has a rabbit in a hat. Will see.

It's a complicated process.
First you have to consider all the angles and information to determine if it actually was goaltender interference.
Then you have to review previous rulings for similar judgements which may offer precedent.
Then you have to willfully ignore all of that in favor of game management, standings management, or betting management.
If none of those "managements" apply, then you may issue a fair ruling that accurately reflects the rules.
UNLESS, the referee waved his arms wrong at the time he blew the whistle.
Then you have to find absolute proof using 240p cameras that shoot at 1 frame every 2 seconds, which you won't, because THEY ARE 240p CAMERAS SHOOTING 1 FRAME EVERY 2 SECONDS.
So whatever the ref "thinks" he saw is ultimately correct unless the situation room is willfully ignoring what the evidence shows.
