Thread: Maybe Oilers Best Option
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>This team has lost 5 OT/SO games, 10 of 19 losses are by one goal, only 3 of the 19 total losses are by 3+ goals, and we've blown leads in nearly every single one of those (it seems) including a 3-goal 3rd-period collapse last night. If this team had any killer instinct, consistency outside of goaltending, or ability to finish games at all we'd likely be in a playoff spot.

Regardless, we're too far out of the hunt this year to make the playoffs now, and CBJ would be dumb not to take this package. I love Elvis, but his value is probably never going to be higher and I'm not sure he's the long-term goalie anyway.</div></div>

He can't not be the long term goalie until someone shows they are close to being the long term goalie. Tarry could be but he has got to stay healthy. Jet is an NHL backup. I know people love him but it's true. Pavel is a tweener. Ivanov is something special but just signed in the K again and the best we see him is 25/26

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>He also has to be able to explain the moves he makes if he decides to pursue another job in the league. Throwing the Jackets another anchor on his way out the door at the cost of multiple future pieces would be very hard to justify. At the moment his moves have been mostly defendable, but just didn't work out the way he hoped they would.</div></div>

Exactly. All the way back to 2019 his moves make sense. Jones doesn't want to come back ok lets move him out and bring back assets. PLD forces his way out ok lets get Ros and Patty for him. We're not making playoffs ok Send Nicky and Savy out for firsts. Patty needs a setup man move Cam for Jake. Bad still move Max Gus and Gavy for solid returns. Johnny 100 point hockey wants to come east Sign him up because he's johnny f'in hockey. D is trash go get two solid d men to patch that up.
All moves make sense just patty has been ouchie and Johnny went missing for the first 1/4 of the season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Affectionate_Side_64</b></div><div>You act as though you're competing for the playoffs, when you're at the very bottom of the league and should be looking to tank for a draft with some high end pieces at the top. Merzlikins does not fit your timeline as a starter, with Tarasov being your goalie of the future. You'd be selling high on him before he too becomes a negative asset, and would be taking advantage of your abundance of cap space for the next couple of years to gain valuable assets. You'd even be saving some money against the cap. The value is debatable, but i certainly think this is a great package. The reasons for CBJ making a trade like this should not be debatable at all.</div></div>

I don't think we are as far off it as you do. If they could figure out how to close a game AT FRICKING ALL (I'm not upset about that fact....can't you tell) They would be right in the race this year. Add another year of growth and maybe our stars SHOWING THE FORK UP (again not upset......) we should be in or bubble next year.
