Thread: Rocket lineup after unrealistic perfect TDL and Draft

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>LOL, I wouldn't either, IF it was just for Allen but the deal includes Chiarot and both are half retained. I originally had separate trades but combined them for ease lol. Basically it is Allen (retained) for Koskinen + 2nd and Chiarot (half retained) for 1st (not protected) + 3rdand I know Oil fans don't like that but it is what it is.</div></div>

Koskinen is 9-1-2 in his last 12 starts. The team is also playing a lot better since the coaching change. I don't see management moving him unless it's a clear upgrade (MAF, Varly).
As for Chiarot, someone will overpay for him, i hope it's not us.

Oilers ain't giving anything close to that for Allen.

Thread: next year

Derek Ryan has been great, why would you move him?
Kassian is a bit pricey but he provides some hitting and toughness, in what is a very soft forward group.
No reason wild or pens have any interest in those deals.
Don't like either ufa signing as well.

Thread: EDM TDL

Both of those deals are horrible for edmonton. Ceci has surprisingly been great and they just signed him as a ufa. Teams don't usually move guys they just signed for a reason.

Don't mind adding Braun for a pick.
There's only a few goalies on the market that would move the needle and Allen isnt one of them. I think oilers will stick with Smith and koski. Koski has played great recently.

Thread: Chiarot is a winner

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>This team is heartless. Not adding a guy like Gallagher isnt what they need?! You have no clue</div></div>

Lol. I'm not saying Gallagher is bad or that the oilers couldnt use him. I'm saying they can't afford him. If they sent say Barrie and Kassian the other way to make the money work, than sure. But the Habs would never do that deal.
Not sure what else I can say about this. 🤷‍♂️

Thread: Chiarot is a winner

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>Elaborate. Literally no player comes to Edmonton unless its with baggage like EKane. You cant simply not add because its not optimum when McDrai are in their primes. Thats not the real world</div></div>

It has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to add a piece to win. There is this thing in the NHL called a cap. The Oilers will not be able to resign EKane next year, because of the cap. Almost all of Koskinen's 4.5 coming off the books is going towards Nurse's raise that kicks in next year. Puljujarvi, Yamamoto, Bouchard, McLeod are all getting raises next year. This team will have a hard time getting a real goalie for next year. They can't afford to add another 5 million dollar winger.

Your deal is addressing the least worrisome aspect of the roster while simultaneously adding to the teams cap problems. For the oilers to become serious contenders, they need contributions from their cheap, young players.
Like someone said above, Gallagher could be offered for free and the oilers would still decline that deal.

Thread: TDL no goalie

I'd rather they try and replace Barrie with a big stay at home Dman. I like Keith in the lineup and Nemo has been a pleasant surprise.
I was hoping in this past offseason that the oilers would sign someone like gudbranson. Cheap, big guy who can punish.
But they've gone overkill with puck moving guys. The d is small and weak again and that's cost us in playoffs last 2 seasons.

Oilers don't have money for Gallagher and even if they did, they'd be better off using it resigning Kane

Thread: Myers for Barrie swap

Oilers have to sign yamo, Puljujarvi, McLeod and Bouchard, plus Nurse's 9mill starts next year.
Plus the goalie situation is in the air.
Can't afford to add overpaid players.
Better off dumping Barrie.

Thread: Girard

Girard is a great player but he's not what the Oilers need. The biggest issue with the oilers D is that they are too soft and play a finesse game. They need a cheap, meat and potatoes guy in the #4 slot who can punish and clear the net.

Thread: New Man between the pipes

Ceci has been a pleasant surprise. I'd even say he's been the oilers most consistent Dman this year. Barrie is the mistake they need to move.

Thread: Opening Night Lineup

I think Perlini will be the big surprise in training camp. Seems like the major issues early in his career had a lot to do with maturity and inconsistency.

I've never been high on Benson, partly because of how angry I was when they didn't pick debrincat at the draft. It's funny how that bias never goes away. But unfortunately I think Benson kinda reminds me of Anton Lander in that his game is suited for a top 6 role but he's not good enough to play there at the NHL level. And to be fair, he hasn't been given much of an opportunity to really prove himself. It's sink or swim time.
