Thread: Taylor Hall babyyyy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>At this point with the Oilers falling down the standings and massive holes in their depth, don't you think it would make more sense to sell off some assets and hope to come back with a younger, faster and better depth on the team next season? Edmonton isn't a good team. They have the best line in hockey and nothing else. They are getting caved in at 5v5, Smith is terrible and the only reason they are in a playoff spots is because for the first quarter of the season, they had 2 goalies playing way better than they can. Now as they are falling back to earth, they are on the verge of falling out of the playoffs entirely. Slapping a bandaid on this squad at the expense of the future seems about as dumb as anything Chiarelli has ever done.</div></div>

yknow what might help the oilers stop being a one line team that cant score at 5v5? taylor hall (and getting rid of russell). instead of missing the playoffs again, having attendance dip again and having everyone misrable, try and finally add a piece thats been missing forever.

Thread: Halllllllllllllll

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>See what I mean? 8:53 of 4v5 time last night + 2 full minutes of 3v5. The Oilers allowed just 5 shots on goal and no goals. PK ability is HUGE.

I agree that Cirelli should be a good addition. No idea what the right price is, but I do think he's a good target. And he's the same age as McDavid, so he fits right into the core.</div></div>

oh yeah, i dont see any good reason tampa gets rid of him unless theyre insanely cap strapped (they will be) and cant move anyone else.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>That's not why he got fired. Zuccarello is actually worth the contract he received.</div></div>

barely on pace for 40pts as a 33 year old with 4 more years after this one is worth it?? glad you're not a GM

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>Zuccarello got $6 million for 5 years this offseason and he's 33 years old and the smallest player in the league. Hall is getting 7 years near $10 million and after already being traded by EDM a first time... A NMC. Not to mention being paid mostly in signing bonus instead of throughout the season.</div></div>

i mean minni also fired their gm like a week after that so id hesitate to call that a comparable...

Thread: Halllllllllllllll

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>I really like the 3rd line, but that 4th - woof! Who is going to kill penalties?? I suggest ditching Gagner, Nygard and Haas and retaining Sheahan, Archibald and Khaira.

Special teams is the main reason why the team is doing so well this year, don't throw out the guys that are doing the trench work to make the PK great.</div></div>

yknow what, thats a really good point and sometimes i forget that 5v5 rates and such are great until your special teams get slapped. id be open to keeping sheahan as the 4c and one of archibald bc he'll be cheaper than khaira. id have cirelli killing penalties for sure though.

Thread: Halllllllllllllll

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>I don't see Hallllll signing in EDM, not unless it's about the same salary with it mostly being in signing bonus and for 7 years - not 4 years as you're suggesting. As well as a NMC. And even with that offer, Hall might chose to sign with another team over EDM because of the drama of once already being traded by EDM.</div></div>

well i guess we'll just see what happens. i dont really see anyone giving him $10M for 7 years, an intelligent GM wouldnt sign him longer than 5 years. on a 7 year deal i dont think he should make more than 7.5 if im being honest, he is going to decline fast and hard

then they wouldnt be getting the prospect too. its an overpay as it is, if they get greedy they can go trade him somewhere else

Thread: Couple Moves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>If these acquisitions were such a good idea, why didn't we do them for free and then get something else for the other assets we're sending? Surely we could get a fourth for Benning from one of the four or five teams strapped for actual NHL-experienced RD's and a seventh for Cave?

And why in the world would we send Chiasson down when we could exile Gagner?</div></div>

because chiasson isnt very good??

you trade contract for contract to maintain flexibility... cave is not going to be a contributer on this team but hosang could be, he was really effective last year in very limited mins

Thread: WAIVER WIRE

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>So just completely ignore his assist totals which are pretty good actually?

The Oilers should claim him, if he doesn't work out he's easy to bury in the minors and not bring back the following season, they need all the free skill they can get.</div></div>

this guy definitely hasnt seen his corsica page, hes actually been really good at the nhl level.

Thread: Transition Year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DerpNation</b></div><div>4 years 4 AAV to a team trending upwards. 1 year at 3.5 AAV was a total pipe dream man. Canes went to the conference finals last year and have made some solid moves again this year.

Oilers can trade for Justin Faulk since the Canes don't need him now. He can be your guy at 5 million for 1 season lol.</div></div>

if he wants stability you're right, if he wanted a chance to get the same term at 6M AAV he wouldve signed on a team where hed get 1PP time on a 1yr deal

Thread: Last Min PTOs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>Yes and no. His signing would make the already redundant Chiasson signing even more redundant, which really looks bad on Holland for offering Chiasson a two year deal.</div></div>

but it would make the team better so i could care less about chiasson for this season (although im disapointed that he was given 2m for 2yrs)

Thread: Transition Year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DerpNation</b></div><div>I can guarantee he's being offered atleast 4.5 a year. He's probably holding out for more term. But he's not going to play on a fringe team for a year at a discount.

There's better teams that would give him a 1 or 2 year deal at 4 million per year.</div></div>

what better place to raise your value than a team without multiple puck moving defensemen

Thread: Kid Line

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Yeah, I'm not a Russell fan either, but his results really aren't bad in the context that all Oilers results are bad. In other words, his results aren't worse than his teammates' results are. I don't think it's fair to lay the blame at Russell's feet for the Oilers woes. He's clearly an NHL defenseman and a veteran, I don't see Tippett PBing him unless the youngsters are way, way better than I'm projecting, which would be a very good thing indeed!</div></div>

his relative stats are in the negative so they are worse than his teammates
