Thread: Draisaitl
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilers_29</b></div><div>No chance ahaha draisaitl 2nd best player In the world and arguably the best contract in the nhl</div></div>

Draisaitl is not the 2nd best player in the world. He’s all offence and no defence. Doesn’t compete without McDavid in the lineup and can be shut down when he’s the top guy the other team defends. Not to mention his attitude with the media.. add in that his contract only has this season and next year and he’s not as valuable as you Oilers fans think. Fox is one of the top defenders in the league - plays offence and defence very well, has a contract for 6 years at a very good AAV and he’s right handed. Right handed defenceman are so hard to come by and especially good ones.

Not one GM in the league would trade Fox for Draisaitl straight up an you’re nothing but bias if you say anything otherwise.

Thread: what is this trade gonna shake out to be
You won't want to get those players from NYR... because if you ask for those, there will be 3 players NYR will insist on getting back that will be non-negotiable.

1) Perfetti
2) SaIomonsson
3) Lucius/Lambert

Without those 3, you do not get Chytil and Schneider. The problem with NYR and WPG is WPG is heading toward a retool, and NYR won't give up a current roster player for a WPG castoff (Scheifele, PLD, etc.). It'll take a substitute roster player, and prospects. Perfetti semi-replaces Chytil (have my doubts about Perfetti's ability at center, Chytil already proved he has 2c potential), Salomonsson likely needs a year or two at the AHL level before replacing Schneider (NYR have Jones/Robertson to shift over in the meantime). Lucius/Lambert = the lesser position for Perfetti (wing vs center) and the delay for Salomonsson (1-2 years) plus NYR would need a massive overpay from the start to get rid of Schneider &amp; Chytil.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilersfan05</b></div><div>The First-Round exit Rangers?</div></div>

As opposed to what, the second round exit Oilers?

There's absolutely no realism presented in anything done in this AGM to begin with. Toronto looks to move Brodie for cap purposes, not to bring in double than they're sending out. The Rangers trade is in line with many of the undervaluations of other team's assets that plague the Oilers fanbase. Mayfield is rumoured to be looking for something more in-line with a $4M/4y deal and you've offered him less than half of that.

Mazura is not a legitimate NHL prospect. Brind'Amour has already opted for free agency and is not signing with Edmonton: the young man already has an AHL deal with Carolina's affiliate.

Maybe try and lurk around a bit more and get a sense for what proper player and trade values are before being snarky with other users? You certainly haven't earned that right, nor will you. That's not the kind of environment we want to foster at CapFriendly.

First of all, great job; these things are so hard to do. Too many good players to consider, besides just skill; chemistry and fit become hard to separate.

If Kreider doesn't make this team due to age in 2 years then Kane/Carlson/McDonagh would probably not be on the squad either as they are all older and have past their "peak"; whereas Kreider just hit his.

Similarly, one could easily argue that Jake Oettinger should make the squad over either Hellebuyck or Gibson in 2 years. Swayman could even be challenging for the 3rd spot by then too.

Sean Couturier should be on this squad assuming his back injury heals up; JT Miller (vs Larkin?) and Jacob Trouba (vs Jones?) in the mix as well. There are some great options that are on the fringe as well: Ryan Hartman, Clayton Keller, Bryan Rust, Andrew Copp, Vincent Trocheck, Tony DeAngelo, Noah Hanifin, Justin Faulk, Brock Boeser, Brett Pesce

However it is the kids that are already NHL stars or about to be that make this fun: Josh Norris, Tage Thompson, K'Andre Miller, Matthew Beniers, Cole Caufield, Luke Hughes, Matt Boldy, and Jake Sanderson could blow this whole roster up over the next 2 years too!
