Thread: Possible Deadline Deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CzechingOut</b></div><div>Maroon was moved for a 3rd last year, why give up a prospect with that 4th? He is also have a bum year now that hes not with McDavid, the 4th alone may get it done.

CAR deal could probably be made with out the need for the 5th and 3rd round picks

Kassian could probably fetch a higher pick to a playoff team.</div></div>

Maroon deal was just the first thing I thought of. Last year the Oilers got a 3rd a C level prospect for him, I likely could have found a lower level prospect than Safin is.

NHL trades these days seem to be having more and more minor draft pick trades in trades like that, but you're right that it doesn't need the 3rd and 5th in the trade.

Unless retaining salary on Kassian I don't see getting more than a 6th. He has flashes of brilliance but also has moments when he completely forgets what hockey is. He currently has only 2 points this year and is making just under 2 million for the remainder of this year and all of next year.

Thread: Oilers Draft Picks Only
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilfan1717</b></div><div>I find these exercises irritating. For one, you (and others) assume the Oilers would draft in the same position and take the same guys. Wouldn’t happen. Two, you’re cherry picking players. Where’s Yakupov? Where’s Lander? Where’s Moroz? Three, youre assessing the players with the benefit of hindsight; when Edmonton traded away Dubnyk and Petry, for instance, there was much rejoicing. Now, not so much.</div></div>

I was just placing every Oiler draft pick still in the NHL on a team. In the case of Bouchard and Bear, I placed them on the team so there could be 7 defencemen. The only Oilers goalie draft pick to play in the NHL actively is Dubnyk, and I placed Skinner as the back-up because I felt he is the best of him, Wells, or Rodrigue. This is in no way ripping on the OIlers, it is just placing every active NHL player drafted by the Oilers on a single team. If Yakupov was still in the NHL this year he would be on the team. Same goes for Slepyshev, Omark, Kander, etc.
