Thread: Oil-Canes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Faulk has trade protection so highly likely Edmonton is on his no trade list, also why trade Pulujarvi and an early 2nd for a UFA, not good asset management.</div></div>

Faulk is in the last year of his deal and could get the opportunity to play on the powerplay with Connor McDavid and boost his value on his next deal.

Realistically, a 2nd round pick and Puljujarvi ISN'T poor asset management because of the number of 1-year contracts the Oilers already have this season. If they are out of the playoff picture come trade deadline, they could easily move someone (including Faulk) to a contender and recoup the pick if needed. Not to mention that the Oilers haven't exactly been experts in drafting in past years so a 2nd round pick isn't that valuable.

The Oilers NEED to acquire a bonafide NHL player for Puljujarvi.....anything less and the trade will be considered a loss. If acquiring said player means adding pick(s) to a Puljujarvi trade then I'm all in

Thread: Hoffman and the Oilers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kosterjr</b></div><div>Easy no from the Cats, they would want a top end defensive prospect to start for Hoffman. They have no reason to trade him unless they get what they want in return.</div></div>

I don't disagree that they don't have to trade him, I can understand why you would say that they would want a defensive prospect.....but it's 1-year of Hoffman for a first round pick, that in itself is a fairly solid trade (especially based on where Edmonton is predicted to finish).

The Oilers are loaded on defensive players/prospects (particularly on the left side) so that could be an option....but to say it's an "EASY NO" from the Cats is just wrong.

Finally, the Panthers aren't getting a "high end" prospect (think Bouchard or Broberg) from ANY team for 1-year of Mike Hoffman &amp; a 2020 1st Round Pick.

Thread: Hoffman and the Oilers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ccc</b></div><div>Yes but we’re assuming Hoffman has the potential to resign like anybody right, and I wouldn’t used JP draft number as his value anymore. And I just feel Florida would rather a cup run than this return as Gagner yes slots in to the roster but they’d rather get a cup chance I’d think</div></div>

Okay, just so I understand.....Florida has a chance to win the cup this season with 10 forwards signed and $2.4MM in cap space. The Panthers also just signed a 30-year goalie to a $10MM/year contract who has never played more than 65 games (which is a lot for a goalie, but you don't win every game you play) in a season while also having him backed up by a guy with 11 games of NHL experience and a 3.05 GAA.

I really like the top end players in Florida on forward and defense, but if anything I think it would be more hard-pressed to get Edmonton to approve this deal than Florida. The Panthers jump at the chance to add a 2020 1st Round draft pick and a potential high-end, cost controlled prospect EVERY time in this deal.

Just my thoughts....

Thread: Oilers Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bigguycom</b></div><div>Do not include a 1st in a Risto trade, have you seen this years draft class? Likely a lotto pick for the Oilers.</div></div>

With this lineup the Oilers are contending for a playoff spot, you could protect the pick Top 3 but that's whatever. At this point, Oilers fans should stop worrying about drafting players and start worrying about acquiring bonafide NHL players, specifically right-shot defenceman who can move the puck.

And the 2020 draft class is great, but at some point the Oilers need to start developing a winning culture. If the season goes off the rails, you have Frolik on an expiring contract to deal for additional picks, as well as a number of other forwards on 1-year deals.

The Calgary trade also allows the Flames to consider moving Brodie (again)....which could gain them almost $1MM in cap space between Frolik and Brodie.

Thread: McDavid asks to be traded McDavid Barkov Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>Lol. Classic casual hockey fan response. +/- is actually one of the worse stats in the league. It doesn't really tell how well a player is at all.</div></div>

You know what else “doesn’t really tell how well a player is at all”? YOU and your insane justification that Barkov (who is a GREAT player) is somehow more valuable than Connor McDavid?!?!?

You know that McDavid has more points that Barkov playing 126 games less...or are points not a good way to tell how good a player is?

You know that McDavid has won the Ted Lindsay Award 2 times right? Or is an award voted on by the NHLPA not a good way to tell how good a player is?

Man, I respect that you’re probably one of the 7 people who actually buys a ticket to attend Florida Panthers games....but you are officially nominated for “WORST TAKE OF THE YEAR” after the gem you just presented above.

Btw....ANY team in the league would take Connor McDavid and his contract because at $12.5 MILLION as he’s still underpaid and by far the best player in the league.
