Thread: Tatar trade Thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>3rd in 2022 that becomes a 2nd if Tatar extends in Edmonton before July 1st 2021?

I think Russell has a similar eastern bias - especially towards Quebec - as a lot of pro-oil Albertans do. He's from a small town that lives and dies via farming and natural gas production, so he's very much been exposed to that mindset. I think he's fine playing in western Canada and in the States, but I think eastern Canada and New York are for sure on his NTC. It's a silly, useless political reason to block a trade, but knowing people from those areas, it wouldnt surprise me.

It you want extra to take back into next season, Khaira can be had for scraps.</div></div>

I would absolutely shocked if his political opinions (which we aren't even sure exist) come into play on where he does and doesn't want to play hockey for 6 months of the year.

I think the only reason he would block trades to the east or USA is because his wife and kids live in Alberta and he wants to be close to them. I highly doubt politics are in play.

Thread: Tatar trade Thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>I_Am_Atem</b></div><div>Umm, no. His market value is set to a 2020 1st + with the recent trades.

We could do a comparable Zucker deal: 2020 1st, Puljujarvi, Manning or Russell (whichever you're willing to part with the most and if Russell waives).</div></div>

I actually kinda disagree, I think if anything the recent trades have showed that you maybe <em>wont<em> get a first for Tatar. Zucker is signed to twice the length and Coleman has 1/5th the cap hit.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>As much as JP and Lavoie are enticing, they got get a 1st rounder more. If it has to be a 2021, so be it, but its got to be a 1st + other good assets.</div></div>

How much higher do they value a 2021 first (with the way the Oilers are trending it would be a late one) vs a 2020 2nd in probably the deepest draft since 2015? I get that the first is prettier on paper but you might be getting a pretty similar quality player and youre getting it a year earlier.</em></em>
