Thread: BIG DEAL WITH THE OILERS

There is a world where I think the Oilers would be better balanced by moving Draisaitl, especially with what he will demand on his next deal. I just think him and McDavid are so locked in with one another that if Drai goes, McDavid is gone soon after. I don't see a time where only one of them is left on the Oilers

Thread: 2024 CUP CHAMPS

I think you can get Bouch cheaper than 5 M on a 2 year deal. At least enough to keep Foegy on the roster.

Thread: Far Fetched

With 97, 29, 93, 91, and 18 locked in, the forward core is set. No need to add more big names. DNB outlined the Oilers probably want to keep their high picks to take a run at Karlsson in the Summer. Which I fully endorse. Top pairing of Ekholm Karlsson yes please.

Barrie has been really good this year. Don't let Leafs fans convince you he's terrible because he had a bad year with them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EvanderKanesLawyer</b></div><div>Grats, you paid a 1st, your best PP QB (who we can just flip later) and a mid prospect for a 32 year old. My face is not red:tearsofjoy :tearsofjoy</div></div>

PP was fine before Barrie came along. Bouchard should run in just fine. I think Edmonton will make a move for another RD. Solid deal on both sides. Sad to see Barrie go though, good dude

Just some perspective though, so many people called Barrie a cap dump with not value whenever he was thrown in these trades.. crazy how perspective changes when these deals actually go through !

Love comments like these. 19 years old, not even a year removed from his draft. Fantastic analysis and ability to foresee a players future so early.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>I offered a 1st, 2nd, 3rd for <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3984355">Mccabe at retention and Lafferty</a> and Oilers homers went nuts. Some ppl simply dont understand what trading means especially at the TDL when you are competing with other bids. That offer for example would have beaten the Leafs offer with the extra 3rd. That 'overpay' got the Oilers team much better. It isnt about winning the trade, its about winning the players. Too many here have it twisted and will die on the hill because of ego. So many could never make a deal as a GM as they dont know how to compromise. Probably the biggest asset for a GM</div></div>

Fair offer imo, just was never happening because of the NTC.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>He was a reach at 32OA, his skating isn't great, and professional evaluators such as Scott Wheeler project him to be a bottom six forward.

Easy for you to demand a team's top four defenseman, the likes of which your team desperately needs for underwhelming futures, cap dumps, and four years of retained salary, but it's not happening.</div></div>

I think its fair to assume the return, if it even happens... (Dreger mentioning Chychrun to EDM is gaining traction), will be something in the middle. Maybe Bourgault instead of Schaefer, and another Conditional 2nd or something. I just don't see Broberg getting moved. Like I said, Holland values him too much.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>You realize Broberg's ceiling is Ekholm right? You understand that the absolule best he can be his Ekholm, correct? You realize the Oilers have McDavid and Draisaitl in their primes, correct?

So why you holding Broberg for later when the Oilers might not even be in their contention window?! Makes little sense and is simply stubbornness.
Other teams are bidding you have to convince Poile to give Ekholm to you and the only way is to make an offer he cant refuse. You understand, right?

I'm pretty sure hes not looking at that offer going, oh my, a bunch of 3rd liner prospects, and maybe the 30th pick in the draft, how can i say NO?</div></div>

Better question for Ken Holland.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>It's a 1st, a recent 32OA pick with 3rd line potential, and a cap dump.</div></div>

Because every 32OA pick has a 3rd line ceiling. You don't know how these kids are going to pan out any more than the next person. Easy for you to demand a teams Top Prospect and two 1sts, but its not happening.

Thread: Shock the world Ken

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>Except Ekholm is wanted by more than a few teams. You're not getting him at that price when other teams are bidding. You are completely ignoring all leverage.

Yamo isnt a 1st round equivalent. Maybe he goes for a 3rd. Thats the same as saying Pulujujarvi is a 1st round equivalent. Schaefer is a late 1st, hes decent but another late 1st isnt getting it done.

The Preds just received a bounty of picks. Any other team can offer a legit A prospect and beat this offer of 'parts'

The offer starts with Broberg, any Oilers fans saying different are homers, point finale.</div></div>

Holland is not moving Broberg. It has nothing to do with Oiler fans being homers. The org. views him an untouchable, which a lot of Oiler fans disagree with.

It's two 1sts and a former 1st who has middle 6 value and has scored 20 in the past. He has some issues staying consistently healthy.

Thread: Shock the world Ken

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>Ceci isn’t a piece we are interested in, so he’s going to be considered a cap dump coming our way. We need at least two seconds or a first for us to trade Jensen or we’ll just re-sign him.</div></div>

For the record, I think Ceci gets a bad rap sometimes on this site. If he were playing 2nd pairing minutes he would be a very serviceable Dman. His first pass isn't the best but he needs to be paired with a puck mover, and in EDM Nurse isn't the best puck mover, and they are playing Top pairing minutes against high quality comp. Ceci as a #4 D at 3.25M is actually on par with what he is imo.

But I do get he is somewhat of a salary dump in this case since we have no cap space.
