Thread: Light changes but better faster oilers team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilfan1717</b></div><div>Despite the rating I basically I like the team. Three concerns:

1. It would almost certainly take more than that to get AA from Detroit - your proposed deal amounts to an exchange of bad contracts (Sekera and Franzen) - one of whom can go on LTIR for some cap relief. The other one is Sekera. Then it’s Rattie and a 2nd for Athansiou and a 4th. This is a very bad trade for the Wings. The only way to make this deal palitable for Detroit is to offer up the Oilers 2018 first instead of their second rounder in 2019 and add a prospect - say, Jones or Benson.

2. You’re proposing that Boqvist plays in the top four. It’s rare for a rookie to come in and suceed right off the bat. I’d like to see Bouqvist get some seasoning first until he’s ready, which ideally would be 2020-21.

3. Your team consists of 21 players. Typically teams carry 23 players. You have no more cap space to sign anyone else... this is a problem.</div></div>
Well I’ll start off by saying offering up our first plus jones or benson would be absurd AA is not worth that much and frazen is just a bad contract that sits on long term injury reserve while sekera still has lots of game left in him he can really help their back end when he’s healthy for next season
Maybe I would just add jones to the trade to even it out more because AA didn’t have a terrific season and is also a RFA

Secondly, I agree with Boqvist it’s not likely a young prospect can jump in a lineup that quickly and you definitely don’t wanna rush him either I just think from what I see in his fast paced game that oilers would really benefit from this season he can definitely quarterback a power play for us but I really like him and hope he falls to 10 for us, my other option would be bear of signing another dman to play top 6

And last, the cap might even go as high as 80 million next season and I think there are obvious guys would fill in the 23 man roster our farm system is looking like it’s reallt improving next year Bakersfield is looking good

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Truebeliever</b></div><div>I think you're undervaluing Carlson at $6M, but there's lots of cap room so that's possible. <strong>So 1 star for adding a player of value</strong>.

The deal with Boston is probably fine (<strong>so, 3 more stars for tha</strong>t) and would help Boston while giving the Oilers something for a departing asset.

Detroit is rebuilding and isn't going to trade for an ageing defenceman and a longshot. Caleb Jones is not close to the talent his brother Seth is.<strong> (So 1 star down)</strong>

Gauthier is looking more and more like he'll be a good player -- not a great player, but a good one. Carolina is also a pretty fast team. Lucic has always been slow and is getting slower. Carolina can absorb Lucic's crazy cap hit, so maybe there's a pick the Oilers could have, but no way two picks and a very decent prospect. <strong>(Sorry, another star off)</strong></div></div>
I thought that maybe the wings can use another experienced blue liner and maybe that the second was to steep and same with the lucic deal the second felt the same way for me but I don't think those deals are far off from what you rated it
