Thread: Shock the world Ken

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>whatsmyageagain281</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

This might be my favorite reply I've ever received on this site

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeauxPreds1</b></div><div>I want broberg and 1st for Ekholm but I don’t think Edmonton is coming off broberg for anyone</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>poeticentropy</b></div><div>yeah they are not fans of putting him into Karlsson trades either</div></div>

Nailed it. Kenny Holland loves Broberg, he was also his first draft pick as Oilers GM. GMs are weird like that. My counter would be Yamamoto, Schaefer (2022 1st) and our 2023 1st.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bsellar</b></div><div>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></div>

I can see him getting one Dman and a depth forward and calling it a day.

Thread: Ideal Kenneth Holland

A Chychrun/Ekholm combined with Nick Jensen would do wonders for this team. Agreed that Ceci would be the expendable piece here. I wouldn't bother with Eller. EDM would be better off trying to get Bjugstad or Max Domi

Thread: Ekholm for Ceci

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>I just spotted a typo I made, in the post you were replying to. I meant to write "I <strong>wouldn't</strong> be surprised if NSH had to take back some salary or retain..."

Sorry about the confusion. Still to my point though, top four defencemen are always in demand. NSH shouldn't have much trouble finding good value for Ekholm. Maybe not even by the deadline though. They could always wait to trade him in the summer. The list of UFA defensemen this summer is pretty underwhelming.</div></div>

No worries. I thought this was not bad value, but I wouldn't have a problem with the Oilers giving a bit more or changing the structure of the deal. There is a lot of talk about Ekholm right now on local shows here so we'll see where it goes! Should be an interesting week.

Thread: Ekholm for Ceci

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>I would be surprised of NSH has to take back some salary or retain on Ekholm. NSH would need a package with a better secondary piece than a 3rd or Lavoie though.</div></div>

I haven't looked into it too much, but I don't think there are a ton of teams with 6.25 M in cap space that are looking to add a 32 y/o D

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>The picks are nice, but a meh prospect and two cap dumps aren't. NSH should get better offers than this.</div></div>

I think your evaluations on these 3 are a bit harsh. Nashville will have to take money back in any trade regardless.

EDIT: Unless they retain a good chunk, which I'd assume they'd prefer to not..

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></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.</div></div>

Agreed, I think that's a no brainer with that much retained.

If EDM had the cap space, easy yes. Would Preds consider Ceci and Yamamoto to even the cap?

Edmonton cant make that move at the deadline. It would absolutely gut their roster. Maybe in the offseason.

Thread: Kane chooses EDM McCabe to LA and Lafferty to Tampa

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>EDM made a pitch to Kane, so it’s in his court now. Doubt they would sell him on a move if they weren’t prepared to get business done with Chicago. Especially since they are getting rid of a couple headaches in JP and Foegs.</div></div>

Completely disagree. I think there's next to zero chance they give up two 1sts for a rental. MAYBE they do one 1st if they are dumping some salary.

Thread: Kane chooses EDM McCabe to LA and Lafferty to Tampa

Wishful thinking on that return from Edmonton, especially if Kane only submits 1 team. Even if he gave multiple teams, I doubt you'd get two 1st Rd equivalents.

Thread: Ceci Buyout

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arab05</b></div><div>Ceci has value you would not need to buy him out.</div></div>

What is Ceci? a number 4/5 Dman? He was solid last year but has really struggled this season IMO. I guess you could move him and retain if you had to so it's only 2 years instead of 4. I'm not sure he's moveable without moving out an asset.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sleeparc</b></div><div>Sharks will not retain that much for that return.</div></div>

Should only be 3.45 (30%) for SJ with AZ retaining the other million 4.45 is the total. Forgot to note that in the trade.

Whoops missed Carlson on LTIR. Doesn't have to be Washington, I just used them in this case.

Thread: If we must deal Ekholm

Where is this absurd value on Ekholm coming from?? The guy is a solid defenseman, but at 33, and 6.25 M? I'm thinking Nashville could get a 1st and a decent prospect, but some of the trades are brutal.
