Thread: Sabres

I rather have JP13 and our 1st than SR23 how (rightfully) asks for some money. Oilers don't have top 6 scoring problems. We need legit depth.

Thread: Oilers New

I don't think Risto is as bad as people think. And even with him wanting out of BUF I don't think BUF would do this. And I wouldn't want him on the Oilers at the expense of Larsson.

Thread: Please no Duncan Keith

I'm so on the fence about this entire Keith thing. I'd hate so see Jones leave and I wouldn't touch Keiths contract without getting rid of Neal. For me it's either Neal+x vs. Keith (x = picks) or nothing. But man, I don't know. So scared that Holland is going to do something stupid.

Thread: Nashville Trade

Duchene would screw up our entire cap structure in the future with his remaining 5 years. With guy like JP, Yama, Bouchard and Nurse needing extentions soon.

What's not to like about this? I'd be ok with that although I don't see why Arizona would do this.

Thread: Massive Ekman-Larson Deal w EDM

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>smokewiseganja</b></div><div>OEL has the worst contract in the league because of its term. And id honestly rather have neal at 5.5 than OEL at 8~ for the same length</div></div>

Well, in this ACGM his cap hit for the Oilers would be 6.75 AAV because of the retained salary. If he was indeed a bottom pair D that'd still be like 5 Mio above of what you should be paying bottom pair D. Sure he'd have to be a good top 4 D to be even paying him 6.75 AAV.

I kinda like this. But why didn't you resign Larsson?

Thread: Big big retool

Although it'd be nice to get rid of Neal (and Koskinen too) the Oilers should not pay Holloway AND a 1st to do so, especially if the return is Price. No shade, I explain what I mean. Price, as we saw this season, can still be spectacular and for sure is a good goalie. But he also has an extended history of injurys, he's 33 and has 5 years left on a 10.5 AAV contract. For me that's too many risks to be worth it. Like I said, I'm not trying to be Kucherov here and throw shade at Price or MTL but that's my position on things.

Thread: Massive Ekman-Larson Deal w EDM

I may not be watching enough Arizona games but I don't think OEL is bad by any means. His contract's a bit rich but he's a good D in my opinion.

EDIT: holy cow, I didn't see that there is money retained on OEL. EDM takes this for sure.

<a href="/users/desertdog111" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@desertdog111</a>: As long as Koskinen, Neal and Kassian are gone I don't care if anything else than OEL comes back. Kassian's not too bad but you could get what he brings way cheaper.

Thread: Tarasenko trades

Oilers decline. Unfortunately Tarasenko is very banged up and quite expensive for the risk. Bear is projected to be a regular top 4 D and even if not he'll be a servicable top 6 D.

Reportedly Oilers and Larsson already have agreed upon a deal. But even before, it was almost 100% sure that he stays. I think he even said it (which doesn't mean anythin I know).

Thread: just won back to back cups who cares blow it up

<strong>This is a fun one</strong>. And I don't think all of these trades would be unrealistic. Obviously not all of them and for sure not all of them together. But it's crazy to see how much value TB has on its roster.

Thread: messing around - 2022

As there are quite a few ACGMs on here that involve Broberg, I just can't imagine Holland doing anything with Broberg yet. You couldn't sell to your fan base that you're trading a top prospect who could become a top 2 D (obviously he could bust too). Unless you've seen these prospects somewhat in the NHL they're usually kind of untradable. Bouchard for example would be way more likely just because we've seen him in the NHL already and he wasn't crazy good (Makar-like or anythin), which means for some he's already in the waste of pick/bust category. So if you wanted Tarasenko and the Blues are asking for a young top D prospect one could think about Bouchard. I still wouldn't do it.

Sure. I still rather have none of Neals money on my books thant paying him some for four more years and use the cap space otherwise.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>Sure? I'm sorry was that some attempt at a comeback/insult? You couldn't refute anything I said so this is what you decided to try out instead? :laugh</div></div>

No, no intention of an insult at all. Just a little sarcastic since we seem to have totally different positions on the players involved. To speak on the topic: I definitely see your point about JP but I also think he will improve and I also liked his style of play without the puck. And because of this opinion I would't want to trade JP for DeBrusk regardless of the picks involed above.

I also think that DeBrusk could bounce back and he's not a bad player by any means, I just prefer JP. Obviously I'm an Oilers fan and you're a Boston fan. Naturally we value 'our guys' differently. :)

Thread: Grit and size

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>No thanks to Puljujarvi lol. His top 3 linemates this year were McDavid, Leon and RNH....and he still was only on pace to put up 37pt in an 82 game season. When Pool Party was away from McDavid or Leon his metrics dropped and with or with RNH they were about the same. He'd be playing on the 3rd line in Boston and his linemates would obviously be nowhere to the level of a McDavid or Leon, thus his numbers (which already aren't anything special) would probably drop.</div></div>

In that case you'd be totally fine with Ken Holland hysterically laughing at this offer and hanging up the phone.

Thread: Adding Scoring

EDM declines and refers to the other MTL ACGM deal erlier and offers you Klefbom for Drouin. Both players are a risk. Klefbom may never play again. And Drouin may bust out completely with 2 years left at 5.5 mil. If Klefbom goes to LTIR (more like never comes back from it) you save the money to upgrade your roster elsewhere. If he plays again MTL won the trade big time. If Drouin klicks with McJesus the Oilers have some cap certainty and a top 6 winger. Risk vs. risk = win win situation. Just my two cents.

I'm really interested how everybody on here would compare the JEE signing against the RNH signing. I know it's hard to compare them, different play types, different ages but still.

If the Hawks want the Oilers 1st they have to take on Neal in my opinion. Like that I'd be willing to do it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Islesforthecup</b></div><div>"Arguably was good" you just lost all credibility.</div></div>

I just looked up his stats and agree. He was good! Really good even. .929 and .922 (playoffs) is really good. But I don't think EDM D is of the caliber of the Isls. Didn't mean to disrespect him. This still doesn't change my point. I wouldn't pay a 1st for him if I was Holland. Not with the FA options that are out there. Just my two cents.
