Thread: how did I do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>Terrible, horrendous, this sucks! No I’m just joking with you, I would never say that. In reality, I will try my best to give some constructive criticism.

First of all, the bonus. I like it that you have included this here, as a lot of people who make oilers posts do not do so. We would need a backup, as you know, I’m thinking we resign Pickard, and himself, and Rodrigue will fight for the roster spot. The loser will of course go to the AHL to tandem with Ungar. If Henrique is coming back to Edmonton, we will not need Gaudreau, as a guy like Perry, Lavoie, or Kane will take that RW spot. I would like to get a top 6 forward still, to play with Draisaitl, and Pionk doesn’t cut it imo. He’s not good enough defensively to play with Nurse. Instead, I would look at getting one of Matt Roy, Dylan DeMelo, or Alex Carrier from free agency, or a good guy via trade.

Have a great one!</div></div>

jesus I completely forgot to sign a backup lol didn't even notice.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>I dont think Broberg or Holloway would get that much, two guys who bounced back and forth between the AHL and NHL arent likely getting 7 figures (maybe 800K and 850K respectively?).
Henrique hasn't earned that contract with us, if he wanted to stay I'd say 1.5M is appropriate but anything above that I'd personally rather just give Foeg's.

I personally really like Pionk, but tbh he would be a rental and isn't that much better than Ceci. I think you've overpaid a bit but also understand that WPG fans are going to laugh at that offer, realistically I just wouldn't imagine a trade exists there.

Why Gaudreau, just curious what part of his game you like?</div></div>

tbh I haven't really been all woaded by Henrique but I think that he is a good part and has had success with Drai and Foegele, I think he will take a discount to stay so I gave him 3M and I believe that if he wants higher we should walk away and circle back on Foegele.

for Gaudreau I don't really know tbh, I was looking for a 3rd line forward that can Center and play 2nd line minutes if we need to replace Foegele , also was looking for someone who can play PK minutes, he is also somewhat affordable at 2.1M x 4 , Gaudreau wasn't the first to come to mind for that spot as I was looking at both Blueger (if he makes it to FA) and a little more costly Colton (more harder to fit in because of money and trade cost to the Avs)
