Thread: Not Realistic But It Would Be An Amazing Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LloydminsterLarry</b></div><div>We won 5 cups with offence and stellar goaltending. Campbell is a serious upgrade over what we’ve had in net.</div></div>

Why are you so stuck in the old head ways of "run and gun, old tough boy hockey" look at the all smaller, smarter faster players becoming stars in the league today Makar, Hughes bro's, Gaudreau, zuccarello, marchard and Debrincat
Hockey is evolving just like every other major sport every few decades, Hockey is no where near the same as it was in the 80's when edmonton got their cups. Pick any players in the league today and send him back in time and watch him put up 150 PTS with ease. Get with the times or get left behind

You can't just run and gun every game hoping to out score everyone, look how far that got us vs the AVS we need more Defensive minded D-man and Wingers like ashton-resse or evan rodrigues our Offensive fire power is already top 3 in the league we just need to start shutting teams down and actually play defense to get to that next level

Thread: No Kessel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LloydminsterLarry</b></div><div>Do you fancy numbers tell you that Subban for his career has scored 40% of his points on the PP? Guess how many Barrie has scored for his career on the PP? 40%. That’s basically the average for most defenceman who plays big PP minutes. Calling him a PP specialist is wrong when 60% of his points are coming 5 on 5. I guess the fancy numbers skipped that part?</div></div>

The thing is we don't need more offense with guys like McD, Drai, Kane, Yams and nuge or we don't need another PP QB bouch, nurse and broberg are all qualified to QB, we need D-men who will break even on goals for and goals against 5 on 5 which is something barrie couldn't do unless kulak baby sat him, I know subban isn't a defensive wizard but he is certainly better than barrie in his own end which is one of the areas we need to improve most, Tyson Barrie is a Defensive liability 5 on 5 which was another area of weakness last year our special teams were good enough for us to start the year last year HOT

Thread: Foegele Plus for Johnson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BouchBomb</b></div><div>If Edmonton did this trade and signed mcleod 1x1.175M (assuming he gets the same deal as yams/JP this would put us at -700K with a 22 man roster from Bouchard's 900k carry over bonus from last season paying a 3rd and 4TH for a player with some upside like foegele would just not be worth it IMO
If i was going to give up 2 high picks i'd give up a 2nd and 3rd to move barrie's contract out instead
Also foegele was not useless he just had bad puck luck all year Foegele-Mcleod-puljujarvi was one of our best line analytically vs the AVS with 62.75 CF%, 76.61xGF%, 73.68 SCF% and 100.00 HDCF(!!!) they couldn't finish (which is important i know) but they hemmed every line they played against in their own zone and really suppressed Colorado's quick transition offense whenever they hit the ice</div></div>

CF% = Corsi for %,
xGF% = Expected Goals for %
SCF% = 5v5 Scoring chances for %
HDCF% = 5v5 High Danger Chances for %
all of their numbers when all three were together were very elite which is a good thing

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Edmonton declines?

How can you claim to be an Oiler fan and be utterly ignorant of the cap problem you guys have?

This isn't an effort to bring in a winger for McDavid or Draisaitl -- it's an effort to be cap compliant and exchange a virtually useless third-liner for some cap space.

The whole reason why Foegele hasn't been traded yet is that no one has made Edmonton an offer this good, so that the Oilers can keep Barrie instead of having to find a replacement for him.</div></div>

If Edmonton did this trade and signed mcleod 1x1.175M (assuming he gets the same deal as yams/JP this would put us at -700K with a 22 man roster from Bouchard's 900k carry over bonus from last season paying a 3rd and 4TH for a player with some upside like foegele would just not be worth it IMO

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LloydminsterLarry</b></div><div>Now I know you don’t watch the Oilers play enough games and have no idea what you’re talking about.</div></div>

everything i said is backed up by numbers and analytics, And analytics say Subban is more reliable defensively at 30% EV defense, 86% EV offense and 40% WAR while barrie has 6% EV defense, 18% EV offense and 21% WAR. All the numbers say subban &gt; Barrie at 5x5 (all stats from Jfresh player cards) barrie is 100% the better PP QB but other than that subban's numbers are slightly better all around and at a fractions of the cost subban would be a better options than barrie on the 3rd pair with broberg. I'm not saying subban is the clear cut better player but at 1.5M-ish for 1 year he would be a great addition and help the cap situation next year when we have to sign JP, Bouchard, Skinner and potentially Mcleod is he signs a 1 year deal and we could fill that 3 RD with kemp or kesselring on ELC's instead of Barrie's $4.5M for the next 2 years. Ya get where i'm coming from??
