<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JBrger18</b></div><div>As an Edmonton fan I don't really see a need for Austin Watson. If the Oilers want someone like that they could get Nick Deslauriers as a UFA for similar AAV and no trade needed. Although the retention on Brown's Salary is nice. Would be nice for Oil to just add in a pick instead of Savoie for some salary retention and Kassian's cap dump. Although I see what you are doing there with the players and proposals, and I don't think you're too far off. Good suggestion!</div></div>

Thanks I added Watson just as a replacement to the beefiness that Kassian is providing to the lineup and worst comes to worst you could bury him.

He's also good enough to play on 2PK and not harm the team and he is an amazing teammate and person.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Agree with your hockey sentiment. But building an arena....it isn't so much the cost of building arena that is stumbling block for owners/cities, it's what entity covers the of the operating overages. The owners never want to pay for it and never does the cities.. Unless the arena is operating with events about 230 days a year, that doesn't cover the the cost of the arena.
Hockey has about 50 games....what about the 180 dates? Can Ottawa support that?
The LA, Toronto, and Rangers arenas have the most dates in North America.</div></div>

Totally understand your argument but the city and the team have shown a willingness and even if it's not extremely profitable it is probably more likely profitable than the CTC which is a 20m drive from some of the suburbs and an even longer drive from down town.

I just really think that the team and the city really want an arena downtown cause that opens up tons of options.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IcemanJoe</b></div><div>Russo kind of mentioned on KfAN that there was risk in waiting for the draft. With the other scorers on the market LAK could’ve turned their attention elsewhere. And supposedly BG and our scouts love Faber, they wanted him in the deal. I think BG maybe could’ve gotten more by waiting for the draft but he also potentially could have gotten less when the musical chairs ended.

This also signals the end of Dumba in MN. I just wonder if they trade him now or at the deadline? Feels like a waste to let him walk via FA for nothing.</div></div>

It'll be tough to get a read on Dumba cause Faber likely takes his spot in the future when they sign him to his ELC but I wouldn't be suprised if Guerin held him as an own rental cause even though Dumba is valuable he is probably more valuable to the team making a push next year and keeping Karprizov happy then trading off a solid RHD that can shutdown. I also think that Guerin might jump through more hoops to keep Dumba.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>capsleafs447</b></div><div>You’re probably right about Edmonds. I was thinking that teams could be a bit wary because of him, partially due to him being an overager, but mainly because Wright could be inflating his offensive stats, particularly since he didn’t play at this level in Kristianstads last year. He has a lot of boom or bust potential. That said, I totally think you’re right and that a team should take the risk with him in the late second or third round.

Arnsby is pretty low in my rankings since I think playing in North Bay will continue to slow his development. I think sixth round is about the right spot for him.

Thank you for the feedback!</div></div>

Totally fair, I just think that some GM that has a lot of picks like in Montreal or Arizona will take him potentially in the first or early second round cause they have nothing to loss.
