Thread: Risto to EDM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JakobBickle</b></div><div>Lavoie clearly wasn't valued as a first rounder by GMs at the draft... He's a high risk/reward player who has had his attitude and ethic challenged by many. He's not worthy of a 1st round value tag, although he does possess high-end skill.
Puljujarvi, the Oilers have 0 leverage in that situation and would be lucky to salvage a 3rd + a late pick for him. I doubt a team would be willing to budge on parting with a 2nd for him.
So, in my opinion, the value is roughly two 2nds and a 3rd. I could change the trade to JP and two 2nds, I would still gladly do that from the Sabres perspective.</div></div>

Oilers have all the leverage in Puljujarvi situation.. Oilers don't need him and don't need to trade him if he wants to play in Europe he can go for it. Oilers aren't going to cry over missing out on "3rd and late pick" but JP will cry when he wastes his shot at NHL career

Thread: Oilers Prospect Pyramid TLDR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>They absolutely are worse than the Wild: the Wild are a basement team by proxy due to their mediocrity and every other team in the Central being better than them. I have Anaheim being about as good as they were this season: prospects making the jump and Gibson being infallible will keep the Ducks from entirely bottoming out. For what it's worth, my bottom-10 look as such:

31. Ottawa
30. Los Angeles
29. Detroit
28. Edmonton
27. Columbus
26. Minnesota
25. Anaheim
24. Pittsburgh
23. Vancouver
22. Chicago

I don't think enough of a deal is being made about the Oilers uncertainty in net and how mediocre the blueline is projected to look this season. Gagner or Haas as a potential #3C is super uninspiring too. Columbus is either a wildcard or a lottery team, there will be no middle ground in that discussion, Pittsburgh can't have much for wheels left in a division that's largely improved as a whole, and I don't think Vancouver or Chicago are improved enough to manage a wildcard spot considering moves other teams made.</div></div>

Just saying wouldn't get stuck on Perfetti as picking that high isn't a sure thing plus there's few other scorcers bound to go in top 10 as well Holtz, Lundell. Hell, they even take Barron/Drysdale to solidify RD prospects and then take Lapierre, Foudy with the later pick if RNH and/or Larrson get moved for extra picks
