Thread: OIl painting
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ConnorMcHellebucyk</b></div><div>I’m not really comfortable trading Pulju for a package like that.</div></div>

I think PoolParty has amazing potential...he is not Yakipov, but it doesn't sound like he wants to play in Edmonton and without more NHL playtime his value isnt where it could be. Oilers need to change up defense and need a goaltender. Other goalie options are really Fluery (Lehner is getting signed to Vegas), maybe Demko, but a team would have to take on Eriksson, or other capspacers, or who...maybe Georgiev.

Bracco deserves a shot in NHL and Edmonton needs RW too. If Neal can play well enough that would give edmonton 3 lines to roll, sold goaltending and decent defense.

Personally, I am for trading McDavid, but that will never happen.

Thread: Not Hall
Johnny disappears in the biggest moments every playoffs. They aren't going to win with him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Backlund isn't waiving for Winnipeg, Jets don't make this trade anyway, really like Backlund though, one of the more underrated players in the league.

This team isn't any better then it is now, still has a big hole in its top 6, Vesey definitely isn't a top 6 winger and it's debatable if Mangiapane is either, would be far better off taking some of what you're spending on an expensive 3rd pair dman in DeMelo, that bum Vesey and bottom 6 guys like Pitlick and Maroon and spend it on some top/middle 6 wingers cause with what you have here this team would struggle to make the playoffs.</div></div>

I dont think Mangiapane is 2nd line, nor Vesey but both are young, sign for cheap and are trending upwards in points and plus/minus. Signing Maroon and Pitlick is for grit and experience. Flames have a lot of smaller players. Both Maroon and Pitlick can score a little and add some sandpaper to the team.
