Thread: Oilers at the deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilers_29</b></div><div>wtf are u talking about u can’t be serious lmao Jared Spurgeon is a great puck moving defensemen and ur gonna compare carrier to him after insisting carrier isn’t a puck moving defensemen just proves you have literally zero clue about talking about lmao.

Calling Ceci a 3rd pairing defencemen is an extremely dumb argument since he has played in the top 4 on every team he’s played for but hey I guess you know more than all these NHL Coaches why haven’t you become one yet?</div></div>

Dude. Both Spurgeon and Carrier are more known for defending aggressively despite their size. Neither is famous for puck moving.

And no, Ceci has NOT played top 4 at every stop. But allow me to clarify: I'm saying he's a 3rd pairing caliber DMan. Not that he plays third pairing in Edmonton.

Look, don't get all huffy with me because I don't bow down to your wild claims.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eberles_Backcheck</b></div><div>Don't think Holloway gets moved. He's the type of value player you need to stay competitive. His next deal will be cheap too. Oilers offer would likely be

Holloway's numbers are really underwhelming so far, is he gonna figure it out?

This is still the dream.

Also, Holloway top line shows you're not a casual.

Thread: TDL 24

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eberles_Backcheck</b></div><div>I agree, the cost of a 1st to swap Foegele out for Tarasenko is too much. Was mostly seeing cost for Tarasenko from sens fan perspective. Not sure who else they can move to make add a player.

I'm still taking Tarasenko over Foegele any day. Even if the analytics don't indicate a significant difference.</div></div>

Having both players would be ideal. But trading one for the other might not improve the team, so there's no point in doing it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eberles_Backcheck</b></div><div>Hypothetically, what would be the cost of getting Tarasenko half retained? Just a 1st? Or what else added to a 1st? Assuming Edmonton magically had 2.5M in space.</div></div>

Last year:
Tank (50% retained)
Mikkola (#6 D-man)

For

1st
4th
Blais (Bottom 6 wing)
Hunter Skinner (C prospect)

So like it’d be a 1st + a bit.

I hated that team too. I hated Kesler with a passion. But this current team is really not hatable.

Thread: 3rd Line Center

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilers_29</b></div><div>No from Edmonton</div></div>

Edmonton should have kept Bjugstad and traded or let Mcleod go last year. The oilers don't need a fast skater that doesn't grind for anything on the 3rd line. If he was producing the odd point whatever but he isn't. At least you know you're getting effort from Bjugstad.

Thread: What D-Men are Available

Savard only works if you're replacing Desharnais. Too similar to Ceci to make a significant difference, and Bouchard isn't being replaced in the lineup.

The best thing you could do for defense from Montreal is pick up Kovacevic. Strong defensively, works well with different partners, and low cap hit for this season and next.
Despite eating dzone deployment (80%) he has an even strength goal differential of 0 this season (he was also 0 last season wiith 56% dzone starts).

Thread: What D-Men are Available

Savard is the best Defensive D on the habs. He isn’t washed but injured. And for Xhekaj, a first or a prospect would be fine

Thread: mcdavid wants out

Not enough. Edmonton gonna need at least one star in any deal, or at least a top 2-3 pick. Not a few late 1sts then some roster players.

Thread: Shock the world Ken

I like all the deals and this would definitely improve the Oilers for the playoffs. Maybe Oil could retain a bit on Ceci though...

Thread: Shock the world Ken

I personally think this is an overpay for Ekholm as you're essentially trading 3 first rounders for him but I'm sure Nashville fans will be here shortly to tell you they demand several more pieces of much higher quality for their aging d man making over $6m.

I want broberg and 1st for Ekholm but I don’t think Edmonton is coming off broberg for anyone

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eberles_Backcheck</b></div><div>A Chychrun/Ekholm combined with Nick Jensen would do wonders for this team.

Absolutely right about the blue line. I really hope Holland gets 2 dmen. You're probably right about the forwards ill think of something for bjustad. too bad lafferty is off the board

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eberles_Backcheck</b></div><div>Agreed, I think that's a no brainer with that much retained.</div></div>

Glad we are on the same page! It would suck to lose Bourgault, but you gotta pay in order to win. The retention shocked me, but hey, I like it! Have a great day everyone!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jeuck75</b></div><div>For the 1st and a good prospect like Bourgault I personally would</div></div>

Okay, yah, I probably would pull the trigger too. The oilers need to win now, not later, and Ekholm is a good defence man. I definitely rather him over Erik Karlsson.

I never love retention on Ekholm deals. This is fine value, but I’d just prefer a trade without retention

Paraykos not going to have a ton of value but this is only done by the Blues if they commit to a rebuild. I don't think they will so I think they decline

Struggled early on, been better as of late. There's almost no chance that the wild bring him back next season so it's either find a way to move him at the deadline or let him walk

Not enough to acquire Ekholm. We'd do a 1st, 3rd, and foegele (cap going back) for Ekholm.

I think it’s honestly fine, depending on how Pulju’s value is seen around the league. Also considered the Oilers a good spot for Sanheim if he gets traded/walks in FA.
