Thread: hmmm

I don't know if I'm right but feels like NHL wouldn't allow a team to trade a player (Smith here) then reacquire said player with retained salary.

Thread: Does this work

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Black61</b></div><div>Bouchard is 24 and has never broken 45 points dont give me this 60-70 point bull. And he straight up cant defend at 24 years old. Theres a reason why the oilers did t sign him long term this summer.

He wouldnt be in the habs top 4 by the time they are ready to contend we have better options</div></div>

The reason they didn't sign him long term was cap space. End of story. Also sidenote about his defence Bouchard actually has the lowest xGA/60 of the Oilers blueliners.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Yeah but look at Kenny's 1st round picks Larkin and Kronwall are the only worthy of being taken in the 1st round and that''s going back 1997.</div></div>

Well Holland contract is over before the draft and Oilers already replaced his Tyler Wright with a new Head Amateur scout. So might not be his 1st rounder

Thread: Edmonton Oilers signed Ryan McLeod (2 Years / $2,100,000 AAV)

Fairly sure, this contract is lower then what McLeod would have been awarded in arbitration solely based on Kurashev getting 2.25M

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caufield</b></div><div>I don't really get why Joseph costs that much to dump. He's pretty solid and he's young just entering his prime. If MTL didn't have an overflow of middle 6 wingers I'd be glad to grab him</div></div>

I mean Edmonton had to use Kostin rights to move Yamamoto and he had better numbers then Joseph without the 2 extra years. Also Yamamoto only required a 1/3 buyout, Joseph would be a 2/3 buyout if he doesn't work out.

Thread: Edmonton Oilers signed Raphael Lavoie (1 Year / $874,125 AAV)

Taking his QO instead of a league min contract makes it harder to carry him on the roster. 100k makes pretty big difference for the Oilers currently.

League min with higher AHL pay would have made more sense but I guess he is betting on himself making the roster regardless.

0.907 goalie isn't worth 2 firsts and 2 former firsts especially when Oilers have cheaper 0.913 goalie at home.

Thread: Which player would Edmonton have selected at 24th overall?

I believe they would have traded to split the pick into more picks when their ideal target Bonk (imo) was taken.

Thread: Rob Blake cap space disasterclass

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>I think rolling with Brossoit as their 1 would be bold as well, he probably runs a save percentage in the 800s to continue his career trend (.900+ followed by a sub 900 year).

If they are going to go cheap on goaltending, I think they should trade for Vladar and run a Copley/Vladar tandem instead.</div></div>

Vladar could be expensive within the division but would be a good fit.

Thread: Blues retooled

The players in your Keller trade add almost no value, Perunovich is the only one worth maybe a 3rd/4th atm. Would be better off removing all of them adding one or both of the CBJ dumps(Scandella/Kapanen) into that trade then adding a better prospect.

Oilers trade would most likely need Ceci to be included. For Oilers cap situation.

Scrap the Pens trade. Not going to get a 1st or 2nd return for Saad anyways. Would have Ceci from Oilers trade for #2/3RD anyways.

Thread: oilers 2324 lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>If you ask the flyers to take away their last retention slot and ask the flyers to make TK a $2.75M player ur gonna have to overpay for him. That in my mind starts with Holloway or Broberg and 2023 1st and adds from there. Nobody is going to just hand you a $2.75M player that scores at a PPG you have to pay up for that</div></div>

Nothing in my comment was about value or 50% retention, just that the Oilers needed some retention for a trade to be possible. Even the OP didn't even ask for 50% retention. Also Broberg has rumoured to be tradeable recently for top 6 or top 4 help.

Thread: oilers 2324 lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Flyers are retaining on TK, they will already have to retain Hayes and TDA so they will probably leave the 3rd spot open just in case. This value is fine for TK but there won’t be retention</div></div>

As for the retention. other then those 3 players I don't really see a need to have a retention slot open for TDL unless Flyers acquire a 1 year term UFA this offseason. TDA slot would be freed up for next year. Comes down to the Oilers need retention or trade likely impossible.

Yea, it's questionable. Kulak/Ceci for Faksa might make more sense for both teams if Dallas buys out Suter.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>Yamamoto buyout is surprisingly great.

Though I'm 99% sure a team would take that contract.</div></div>

All buyouts under 25 years old are 1/3 value. Wennberg buyout was crazy cheap for Columbus awhile back. Also agree some team would take him he scored 20 goals and can PK.

RNH and Drai work pretty well together plus that's basically a top line on most other teams in the league.

Oilers decline. Hall is not the player the Oilers are looking for. Also there's a handful of wingers in the league worth 3 first round pick equivalent and Hall is not one of them.

Oilers decline. Teams simply won't trade their high end prospects for players like Edmundson additionally he isn't needed after the Ekholm trade.

Not sure there's a market for Campbell even at 4M. They might be forced into a buyout but we shall see.

Thread: Must sign Bouchard long term

I don't think Pulock is the right comparsion for Bouchard as Pulock had already been bridged twice. Rasmus Andersson contract would be more in the ballpark I believe as both contracts would have similar RFA vs UFA years in their duration.

Thats so much for Parayko.. I'd honestly be surprised if Blues didn't swap him for Bouchard 1 for 1 if that was offered.

The #1 thing Oilers struggle with is EV defence where Ekholm shows a ~60% improvement while playing against tougher assignments and with lesser teammates. A lot of Barrie's value was PP minutes but even then he wasn't really the main reason for the PP success.
