Thread: Meier - if this is the deal I want to know why the Sabres couldnt match it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SJSGM</b></div><div>yeah but it was also reported that Zetterlund wasn't a part of it and now it's reported that he is. No idea what's going on now.</div></div>

It was reported that Zetterlund didn't know if he was part of it, not that he wasn't involved.

Thread: Rumors and Trades from Comparables

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GM_MZ_WSH</b></div><div>Zaitsev is turbo bad and you would pay more to get rid of a longer contract. JP’s contract is worth more against the cap which allows them another $2million to spend even after getting Gus. I’m thinking along the lines of what the Capitals paid to get rid of Paník in the Vrana/Mantha trade</div></div>

Panik also had term remaining during that trade. You should be looking at what Minnesota is getting for eating cap for the rest of the season and then lower it because you are actually getting a player to play in games.

lol Zaitsev contract was just taken for a 2nd plus 4th and he has another year remaining you think Oilers are giving up a 2nd for 1/3 a year of JP gone?

I mean he clearly knows he isn't a rental.. he used 5 firsts and 2 seconds in the trade

Thread: If we must deal Ekholm

You think Ekholm is getting the similar return as people think EK is getting? There's no chance Bouchard is in an Ekholm trade without like Tomasino coming the other way.

Thread: How would you vote if this trade was posted on Capfriendly

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tasieboy</b></div><div>IMO it's fair both teams take a gamble on one year deals. Both teams can let them walk if it doesn't work but Oilers need cap and getting anything for a guy who cleared waivers would maybe give a slight edge short term to the Oil. But PJ is done in Edmonton and I do think the Canes could get the most out of him.</div></div>

Isn't Kase like done? He has had concussion issues likely to never play an NHL game again. Seems like only thing Oilers get is cap space.

Thread: Realistic Oilers 2023 Deadline Moves

Sharks said they won't retain that much but the extra assets you gave could go to 3rd party to retain like 1M and Shark cover 3M maybe.

Thread: Sharks Post-Deadline

Oilers can't afford to add an 11.5M cap hit. SJS will need to retain like 25% and take back Salary for the trade to even be possible

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Scooter81</b></div><div>Due to the amount of cap space the Predators have they will most likely lose someone come the off-season. Lankinen or Fabbro to be exact</div></div>

Again, what does signing a bottom 6 guy 25k over league min have to do with that? Statement makes no sense as the signing actually could help keep said players as Novak fills a roster spot at almost bare min

Thread: Chychrun and Vrana

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>Chych return probably not enough.

Idk how to handicap the vrana situation so maybe that would work but that’s also a lot of retention for DET so my gut says no deal. Also don’t think putting Vrana on a team with Kane is the best for him at this stage.</div></div>

What's the story behind your Kane/Vrana issue?

Thread: Significant Changes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bagelbob</b></div><div>so, shane gostisbehere? but seriously, his defensive metrics while not good are not the worst in the league. he's elite on the PP and his offense at even strength has been solid this year too, plus he's notoriously one of the nicest guys in the league. i tried to embed his evolving hockey player card but i can't figure out how, regardless they have him as an 88. using GAR barrie is the best defenseman and fourth best player on the oilers and his negative value comes from his PK ability, but he's a net positive at evens on both ends and a huge PP asset.</div></div>

Don't let those silly player cards fool you! Barrie was really bad for 1 year in Toronto and will forever be that player.

Kane isn't the right target for the Oilers they don't really have trouble scoring. They are tied for 3rd most goals per game even with underachieving bottom 6.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>toque</b></div><div>Wonder if this means they are expecting to trade a prospect out soon</div></div>

He was already playing for Condors so likely has nothing to do with filling a prospects slot. Likely just allows Oilers to call him up if they want a 4th liner with size instead of Ryan or Shore.

Yawn, people on this site are so lazy. Tell the guy what you would actually like in return instead of the same old sassy reply. Maybe the site values will actually adjust.

Pretty sure he would never land in CBJ probably just retained and traded away instantly for another pick.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilednGreasy</b></div><div>For sure the Columbus trade at least.</div></div>

Broberg for Domi is an overpay, and so is Acciari for a 2nd.. Oilers got Ennis and Brassard for 4th and 5th round picks at last two TDL both were 0.5 PPG in those seasons. Acciari is worth maybe a 3rd with 50% retention at his production and better defensive/faceoff value.
