<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CN10</b></div><div>I believe "looking outside the organization" meant a UFA signing for 1 year &lt; $1M, not sending out two assets for a guy (Daley) worse than the internal option they already have (<a href="https://public.tableau.com/shared/DGHKHP2RS?:display_count=yes&amp;:origin=viz_share_link" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Daley v. Kylington 2019</a>). The depth chart at LHD looks fine to me even if they don't get anyone right now and only make the move for a Daley or equivalent in the event of an injury.
Gio - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kylington - Andersson
Davidson - Yelesin
Valiev</div></div>

Agree it’s unlikely but veteran depth would be nice for playoffs. Would love to see them past the first round. But a good option to wait until trade deadline.

Thread: Post Milan
I see where you are going here and agree its probably what will happen. Personally, I would rather see us move Brodie and keep Stone as he is much harder to play against (when healthy).

The big mistake I see and have been saying for a while is keeping the 3 m line together...

- Tkachuk is 100% a top 6 player (wouldn't mind seeing him on the top line while johnny gets sheltered on the 2nd).

- BUT when Backs is on the 2nd with PP time his numbers drop significantly! He is probably one of the leagues best 2-way 3rd line centres and an incredibly effective PK specialist but when moved up he loses a step and ends up as a mediocre 2nd line centre.

- Then Frolik... When paired with Backs on the 3rd line and given PK time he excels! But on the 2nd line, he becomes a below-average winger...

Move Backs and Frolik back where they belong and build a real second line starting with Tkachuk or maybe even Johnny!

The key here is to be playoff-ready! To get into the second round and beyond! We will not make it with the 3 m line as our 2nd line...

Thread: Whats Puljujarvis value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CN10</b></div><div>I disagree. He just played a prominent role on the Calder cup winning team. </div></div>

Sure he did. But IMO all 3 of the Oilers AHL LD are better and/or have a higher ceiling, I wouldn't take away their playing time for Fleury. Just going off boxcars:

Caleb Jones, AHL: 50, 6-23-29 +16
Lagesson, AHL: 67, 8-19-27 +25
Samorukov, OHL: 59, 10-35-45 +36 and beastmode in the playoffs: 24, 10-18-28 +18

Fleury, AHL: 28, 2-8-10 +0 and in the playoffs: 11, 2-4-6 +7

Fleury is a 2014 draft pick same as Lagesson, yet putting up worse numbers in the AHL. Jones is a year younger (2015) while Samorukov is 3 years younger (2017). I find it doubtful that Fleury takes ice-time away from any of these guys. Unless one of them gets called up to the NHL or traded, there's no room in the Oilers AHL organization for Haydn Fleury.

Thread: What Did It Cost - Everything
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CN10</b></div><div>So Murray won't be a fit with Weber on the top pair? I see Montreal moving a top 6 forward who the organization was unhappy with to end the year and which will soon be replaceable by the forward prospects coming up for a #2/3D and a young backup goalie. Columbus may need to sweeten the deal with a 2020/2021 mid round pick but I think it seems fair and addresses both team needs.</div></div>

In terms of value Murray for Drouin is not a bad starting point for a trade. Habs would likely be a better team overall if Murray was reasonably healthy for a few years.

The problem is that Drouin acquisition from Tampa was so high profile for Marc Bergevin, that he'd have to be perceived to hit a home run in a Drouin trade at this point (someone like Ghost from the Flyers). Getting Murray would look more like a solid double, not the home run.

For better or worse, Drouin likely gets a longer leash in Montreal, and in a couple of years is finally let go at lower trade value.
