Thread: Right hand defensive C and a D man
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Isles would pass on this. I think Schaefer &amp; a 2nd is proper value for Mayfield; but taking back Ceci &amp; Pool Party + a partially retained JGP feels like more than a 2nd round's worth of value. Ceci has two more years of a $3.25M cap hit but wouldn't be any better than RD3 on the Isles. so to New York he's a borderline cap dump. Combine that with the fact that there's no ready-made replacement for Pageau in the Isles organization, I think NY would want more coming back.</div></div>

Seems like from what I see on this site JGP has a wide range of value amongst Isles fans, some wanting to dump him. Obviously JP is only to make money work for us. I did this trade only if Isles fall out of contention and maybe they are wanting some picks and Ceci can play a bit so maybe Lou thinks he can help them next year to compete as well.

I would be open to sending some additional picks/prospects as Oil need a R handed center who can win some faceoffs and play defense.

Thread: 21 man roster somehow
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Me? I'm the Rodney Dangerfield of Oilers fans! :tearsofjoy

I expect McLeod will get a similar deal to what Puljujarvi and Yamamoto signed for last time ($1.175M), but I suppose anything is possible. I mean, if the guy's willing to flip you a Benjamin, do I get 50%? :cool</div></div>

Stauff has eluded to for last 10 days on his Oilers Now show Mcleod will be signed on a 1 year deal and under $1M....

He isnt right 100% of the time but he floats out most things for org before they happen. Has said numerouns times that with no arb rights he will likely need to be ground on by the Oil for a contract under 900k. My example here would be a hand shake of taking a deal for cap this year to get to 21 man roster and then next year if he wants $1M then they sign him for $1.2 on a wink wink deal....essentially he gives up $100k this year to make cap work and team rewards him with 200k next contract to make it work

Thread: likely scenario
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rookescr96</b></div><div>I think that it's a little unreasonable to expect Holloway to immediately come up and play top six minutes next year. Yes I think he would be fine and will have a great year but he's young and rushing players into positions they aren't comfortable with early on is a recipe for disaster. Look at how the Oilers immediately threw Nuge, Hall, and Eberle on the first line and now a days where they let Bouchard play third pair for a year and allow McLeod to develop on the fourth line for most of the season</div></div>

you must have missed the description that I laid out a scenario where Holloway plays all the way from line 2, to into the minors depending on his ability to handle it or not

I would also argue Nuge, Hall, Ebs with the responsibility of carrying the lines producing is a much different role than Holloway whos role on line would be chip in some goals with Kane/McDavid or Drai/Hyman carrying the load on the line.
