Thread: Finish off the perfect offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stuey4Vezina</b></div><div>I'd personally go long-term on McLeod. Trust me- He's gonna ask more 2 years from now</div></div>

I personally would as well but I dont think McLeods camp wants that haha :)

We all realize his potential under Woodcroft as does he, I think he is probably looking for a bridge knowing he can make more than 2 million in 2 years. We as fans have to recognize that it isn't super appealing for a promising young forward that he has basically no chance to ever crack our top 6 or 1st line PP. I'm suspecting a bridge deal and eventually we just cant afford him and have to trade his rights :/

If Ken Holland wants to pull another masterclass this offseason and sign him long term on that kind of deal though then :D

Thread: Oilers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>emoprettyboy</b></div><div>where are those reports that the Sens wanted to trade Zub because I can guarantee you, they are not real. Sens aren't moving Zub</div></div>

https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/frank-seravalli-trade-deadline-war-room-atlantic-division-objectives/

Seravelli tossed his name around at the deadline. Nothing was concrete just rumors, I understand that Sens fans feel the same way about Zub that Oilers fans do with Puljujarvi, we love them :) . But the management teams are looking at pieces and if the Sens can get a player like Puljujarvi on a good contract that is seriously valuable to them. At the end of the day what you're giving up in return is 2 guys on expiring UFA deals. Ottawa has already made big leaps forward this year but you are not a cup contender just yet. This is multiple comments now about Zub so I'll take your word for it, you guys know your own team better than I do. I doubt the Oilers would be able to afford resigning him anyway.

Thread: Trying to be realistic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>All of the players you've mentioned seem like excellent targets to me, and as for money figures, who knows? None of your amounts seems foolish.

Personally, I don't see Krejci signing there, but he's certainly a proper target.

My only question is this: if you assume that Klefbom won't return, then won't you be protecting *Ethan Bear in the expansion draft?

*Ooops -- I meant Caleb Jones.</div></div>

Ah ye your right thats what I should've done with my assumption, but I'm trying to mimic management, Caleb Jones was scratched for most of this year and the entire playoffs, Dave Tippett quite clearly isn't a fan of him for some reason and it already feels like he's gone. Klefbom had successful surgery but he's mentioned in many interviews he is going to put his quality of life above hockey because obviously, it doesn't sound very optimistic though. Difficult situation, hopefully more positive news will be revealed about Klefbom before the Expansion Draft or who knows... maybe more negative news, both would make the choice easier. Would be really tough to let Klef go though, but if we would have to keep Kassian then we can't sign Martinez and Caleb Jones certainly helps that left side, a lot to think about with that one. If Klefbom was available for Seattle to take do you think they even take the risk? Looking at other options from Edmonton I think I would.
