Thread: Leafs 2020-2021
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevorchef</b></div><div><strong>Considering the Oilers lack of top six winger depth</strong>, Johnsson for Larsson may actually be worth it IMO. (Or perhaps the Leafs would need to add another lower tiered forward, I'm not sure). I don't expect may Oilers fans to chime in with anything positive to say about it to be honest. Those homer glasses are very thick.

I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for posting.</div></div>

Holland just spent two 2nds on Athanasiou, I'm pretty sure he's got AA tabbed to be McDavid's winger going forward. Nugent-Hopkins is the other top-6 winger, so it's not like Edmonton is desperate for a top-6 LW going into the summer.

And the fact that I'm familiar with the Oilers depth chart doesn't equate to "homer glasses". I just don't see how Dermott has any value to the Oilers - he's not better than Klefbom or Nurse, and his salary expectations are going to be much higher than the $850K x 2 contract Jones just signed. Not to mention Lagesson who will come cheaper than Jones and Russell who still has a year left on his contract. That's five NHL options (not to mention 2 very good LHD prospects matriculating) - why on earth would Holland trade for a 6th guy who will want $2M+?

He's been passed on the depth chart and most MTL fans have him in the AHL next year. If he's 5th or 6th on the depth chart I think moving him is a reasonable consideration.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kafle22</b></div><div> you dont get a second for benning and a third for chaisson, more like a third and a fifth.</div></div>
Maybe not, but I think it's been established that Benning is worth a 2nd - from his draft year he's 41st in GP, 43rd in points and 9th in +/-. His career 5v5 goal differential is 158-129 (55.05%), and he's been above 50% every season. In a re-draft he'd go somewhere in the 30-40 range - early 2nd round. I'm trading him for a late 2nd round pick due to the depth of the draft. The only reason he might go for less is his concussion history.

I don't know what Chiasson is worth, but he has scored at least 12 goals per 82 games in each of the past 4 seasons with 3 different teams and you don't often get those guys for just a 5th. Since joining the Oilers his 33 goals and 62 points rank him 4th among Oilers forwards. Thirty-three goals is 131st among all forwards in the league, his 62 points rank him 176th. If there are 93 first line forwards and 93 second line forwards (186 forwards in the top-6), Chiasson's point production is top-6 even though he played the majority of his minutes in the bottom-6. And all he's worth to you is a 5th?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kafle22</b></div><div>Why would you sign Mike green when you have lagesson who can easily be a 7th dman </div></div>
I like Lagesson a lot and agree he's capable of playing 3rd pairing / 7th man, but he shoots left. On the right side I have 2 of 3 spots being held be a rookie and a sophomore, I think Holland will want some veteran cover for those players.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kafle22</b></div><div>You have to pay benning 1.9 mil or more because of his qualifing offer</div></div>
Actually Benning's QO is $2M, equal to his 2019-20 salary. I'm betting he'll be willing to trade some AAV for term: having a 3 x $1.5M deal gives him a lot more security than a 1 x $2M contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres1108</b></div><div>i was being sarcastic silly little jerry....Anybody who knows anything about hockey would say that Jeff Skinner is not very strong defensively whatsoever and he's not a great passer either....he has a good shot and thats about it, hes a good 5v5 scorer which is valuable

but 23 points in 59 games isnt worth 9 mil/year....

ever think thats maybe why Buffalo was able to acquire him for next to nothing??

I mean Kyle Okposo had a way better year after signing his big ticket and look how that turned out...if given the free opportunity to correct a mistake like the skinner deal you take it</div></div>

I would love it if Buffalo bought out Skinner - I'd love to have him on the Oilers. But it won't happen, because money. How long do you think Botterill would last if he went to ownership and asked for a check for $46,333,333 to pay Skinner to NOT play for the Sabres??
