Thread: I dont totally hate it but
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DriveFor25</b></div><div>Habs are indeed interested in acquiring Barrie, but not because he’s good. He’s useful to us because 1) he can eat up big minutes to replace Petry as the 1RD 2) he’ll improve the PP 3) he’s a net negative on the team analytically and will help us tank while making the team a bit less depressing to watch. We aren’t giving a 2nd for Barrie whatsoever considering the Oilers don’t have leverage and he isn’t good enough to theoretically warrant that return anyways. In my mind he should either have minimal value (late 3rd-4th rounder) or very slight negative value (Habs get paid a late 3rd/4th rounder to take him). While the Oilers really shouldn’t do this, Hoffman for Barrie would be more likely to go through than Barrie for a 2nd if you’re trading with MTL. Alternatively, he could probably just be a throw in piece in a larger Habs trade (i.e. Puljujarvi or Anderson centered-trade - fyi Anderson for Barrie 1-for-1 ain’t happening, there’s a lot of interest surrounding Anderson and we’ll prob get a first for him).</div></div>

Oilers do not want Anderson. He's way too injury prone amd honestly, not all that great. That contract is horrid. Do not understand the hype. I wouldn't take him for a bag of pucks unless the habs were taking Kassian and all the other things we dont want. Hes played a full season once when he had a career high 47 points. No thanks

Thread: Joe Pavelski Oilers Flat Cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RWellington</b></div><div>I would tend to agree on a starting Goalie however the list of available FA goalies is thin. Keumper likely resigns in COL, Fluery isn't coming to EDM, and is Campbell a true #1 and will he see the open market.

Yamo and JP may get bridge deals and honestly I am fine with that, they are still RFA's so they are limited in bargaining power.

Barrie is a redundancy, EDM needs defensively conscious players. Secondly EDM needs cap space so swapping Barrie for Braun and creating $2.5M is space goes a longgggggg way with a flat cap.

Factor in larger raises for JP &amp; Yam, Barrie and a Starting goalie at $5M per and EDM is well over the cap which means someone goes.</div></div>

Probably Barrie and/or Kassian and potentially Foegele. Any combo or all. But even 1 of Jesse or Kailer could be on there way out

Thread: Ken get a goalie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ksporer</b></div><div>Probably a close deal there. Dont see Chicago taking Kassians money back tho, and doubt Smith goes back the other way. More likely Koskinen with the bigger contract. But the prospects and picks are probably appropriate, tho I wonder if maybe one of them would be conditional on him signing here...</div></div>

If you had read the actual trade details it was noted that it all hinged on an extension being agreed upon. The overpay of picks , prospects is to assure Chicago takes BOTH Smith and Kassian. Id add another 2nd to make it happen. But they're gone 1 way or the other if im GM. As it stands theres plenty out there floating around that a 1st for fleury may be high. It could be a 2nd that gets him. I doubt that However.
