It’s an oilers fan that posted this, guys. I’m not sure if this person knows Haytons value based on this trade, but I agree with you, that if this was offered, we would accept in a heartbeat.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>Texier to me has found a role on the 3rd line with Silly and Nylander.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>He and Sillinger have shown some great chemistry lately, so I don't really see Texier being available. As a player, probably no more than a 2nd, but he's the kind of player I'd rather keep around since his floor is a good defensive 3rd-line forward, and his ceiling adds some skill and makes him maybe a 2nd-line winger. He's more valuable than another pick right now to the organization.</div></div>

Thank you both for your comments! It’s good for you guys that he has found chemistry, bad for me haha. I was hoping someone was going to say that he would be up for grabs, and then name the price… it’s all good though, and I appreciate the insight. If it was for a 2nd, I would do that in a heartbeat, but I understand why he would be more valuable from the organization’s standpoint. He is a sneaky good player, and I think he could really elevate his game with a guy like Draisaitl. That’s why I wanted him actually!

Have a great one, both of you!

Thread: how did I do
Terrible, horrendous, this sucks! No I’m just joking with you, I would never say that. In reality, I will try my best to give some constructive criticism.

First of all, the bonus. I like it that you have included this here, as a lot of people who make oilers posts do not do so. We would need a backup, as you know, I’m thinking we resign Pickard, and himself, and Rodrigue will fight for the roster spot. The loser will of course go to the AHL to tandem with Ungar. If Henrique is coming back to Edmonton, we will not need Gaudreau, as a guy like Perry, Lavoie, or Kane will take that RW spot. I would like to get a top 6 forward still, to play with Draisaitl, and Pionk doesn’t cut it imo. He’s not good enough defensively to play with Nurse. Instead, I would look at getting one of Matt Roy, Dylan DeMelo, or Alex Carrier from free agency, or a good guy via trade.

Have a great one!

Thread: oil offseason
Hmm. Okay, so this is what I would change.

The line combinations are not good imo, and would be changed, but I doubt this is the main purpose with this post.

I would get rid of Zucker completely, same as Foegele, and replace them with Henrique, and a better top 6 forward. If we cannot get Henrique, we can trade for a 3c, and move McLeod to Draisaitl’s wing. Hamblin should not be up, instead he could be replaced with Carrick, Gagner, Brown etc. Ceci, and Kulak should without a doubt be getting traded, with Broberg getting full NHL ice time. You are over the cap, so I would buyout Campbell as well, and get a legitimate top 4 RHD.

I would want the team to look like something like this:

Nugent-Hopkins-McDavid-Hyman
McLeod-Draisaitl-BLANK
Holloway-Henrique/BLANK-Kane
Janmark-Carrick-Ryan/Gagner/Lavoie

Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-BLANK
Broberg-Desharnais

Skinner
Rodrigue/Pickard

The BLANKS would be what you would fill, as those are our biggest holes. So to some it up.. trade Kulak, and Ceci, buyout Campbell, do the resigns, get a top 6 forward, and top 4 RHD, and possibly a 3c if Henrique does not come back.
