Thread: Can we play Broberg or Kulak at forward

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluetomorrow83</b></div><div>Knobby likes rolling 4 lines so I don't think 11-7 is a thing anymore</div></div>

Let's turn Kulak into a forward then

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksnOilers</b></div><div>Gagner, Lavoie, hell even Bourgault could use the minutes

I don't think we've played 11/7 in a long long long time (unless I'm mistaken)

Did we? Kemp only played one game and it was against the Habs in January, we ran a 12-6 and Broberg wasn't even playing</div></div>

Gagner probably retiring after this season. Bourgault is barely half PPG in the AHL - what warrants giving him NHL ice time? Lavoie maybe - but I'd rather play Kulak and Broberg over him, they're both just flat out better.

1. We don't have any wingers in Bakersfield worth playing.
2. We play a lot of 11/7 - playing one of them at F will give both more ice time.
3. We did this when Kemp was here

Yea the injury thing is real but I also think he'd run that risk rather than throwing Foegele away for pennies on the dollar. Also doesn't send a good message to the guys for trading for a guy and dealing him right away.

Oilers have 2nd round picks, prospects, etc. etc. I never said for them to take our bottom pair dmen back. Kahkonen makes league min. We coulda fit him in somehow

Would much rather pay the 2nd rounder on this guy than Kulak. I'm just saying we could've definitely paid the price and a bit more.

Thread: Solidifying our defense with cheap moves

I feel like you can keep both Russell and Barrie instead of trading them. Having 8 good defencemen during the playoffs would be great in case of injuries. Also I think you're overpaying for Kulak. Not worth Lavoie's career.

Thread: what the media is saying for 22-23

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>no the mike smith has got to go thing is quite prevalent. There have been articles written about top 7 oilers that need to be traded and kassian and barrie are on there.

I think it would be a smart move to trade kassian on kubalik in order to secure a top 6 winger for next year.</div></div>

Why would Kubalik sign for less than his QO? and he's got arbitration rights.

Nuge, Hyman, Puljujarvi are top 6 players. You've got Kane already here, and maybe Holloway, is that not enough? Why trade a 1st rounder for Kubalik when he isnt even playing to top 6 standards right now? 21 points in 61 games? Yamamoto has more points than that in less games - I didn't even mention him as the group of top 6 players. And I can tell you he won't cost you a 1st rounder to acquire and resign for 3M.

Foegele has the same amount of production - would you say Foegele is worth a 1st?

Thread: what the media is saying for 22-23

Giving up 1 year of Smith for Samorukov's career? Not worth it. Just ride it out for the year or trade him with 50% retained.

Kassian and a 1st for Kubalik? Not worth it. Keep the 1st rounder, Holloway will take that spot. Even Kane can be resigned for free. Kassian can be bought out.

Barrie for a 3rd and Appleton? Have you seen what defencemen are going for? Barrie is like .5 PPG defenceman with term. Come on.

Who in the media is suggesting this stuff

Thread: What does it take

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>1st, Bouchard, Holloway, Skinner for Helly and DeMelo?</div></div>

Bouchard is a non starter I think. He's the only RHD in the pipeline. There's tons of RHD in the draft this year so why not use that 1st to get a RHD instead. TBH if EDM keeps the pick, we'd probably draft RHD as well.

A poster below said they wanted a RHW - we have Bourgault so remove Holloway.

How about 1st, Bourgault, Skinner, something else. Use the 1st to select the RHD you want. There's tons in the draft this year.

Thread: Based on Scouting Reports

I think Braun and Demelo are the targets. The Jets could use a guy like Barrie so they may value him. He can teach them our PP and he'd have a spot with Scheifele, Connor, Ehlers, and whoever on that PP. On WPG, he'd probably be a 2nd pair guy.

I think we're looking at some of their depth defencemen? Bealieu, Stanley, Demelo maybe?

Thread: realistic rfa pricetags

Kane at least 4M next year

Warren Foegele got 4 years at 2.75M - have to think that's the minimum for Yamo. He has the same amount of points, higher career PPG, plays on PK, and has chemistry with top 6. The only way I see Oilers getting him for less than that is if they squeeze him into a 1 year deal. Not sure if he has any arbitration rights.

Thread: EDM Lines vs PHI and CHI

Holloway 16GP, 10Pts, -2 - I'm not sure he's a lock to be called up right away. I'd imagine Marody, Griffith, and maybe even Malone go up first. Not like Holloway's lighting it up. I could see maybe for the playoffs? If he has a good year.

Thread: Expecting these lines by end of game

I hope Smith plays terrible and we still somehow find a way to win. That'd mean he gets demoted and we finally call up Skinner. Play Skinner/Koskinen until the trade deadline to see if we need to trade for a goalie. If they both play well, then that takes pressure off the front office and focus on defencemen. If they don't, well we knew we needed a goalie anyways.
