Thread: Return of Reinhart

There must always be a Reinhart in Edmonton for success. Add Griffin and within 2 years they make it to the second round for the first time in 11 years. Take away Griffin and they crash and burn

Thread: Leafs-Oilers Huge Trade

Im still baffled Leaf fans think sending scraps is going to get them a top 4 D plus a very promising young guy.

Nurse > Gardiner

Puujarvi > Brown, kap, Gauthier

Pickard???

Thread: 1234

It may be a bad trade for Boston but that doesn't mean its relatively fair deal when looking at it from just the value of players perspective. Majority of people on this site forget that a "fair value" deal can often still be bad for 1 or both teams.

Thread: A little off the board. DAL fans what do you think?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryansmythsmullet</b></div><div>The Dallas trade makes no sense. Dallas is reportedly considering buying out Spezza's contract. Jason Spezza is a salary dump that is worse than the Lucic contract. So the Oilers would be giving up klefbom, Bear, Puljujarvi, and a first for Klingberg? Never happen.</div></div>

Speeza dump isn't worst then Lucic.. its 1 year then done Lucic could be possible up to 5 years of pain depending how well he bounces back. Still think he can be 35pt guy for 2-3 years playing against lesser opponents from a 3rd line role, but thats expensive 35pts for a team to take on

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilcountryGM</b></div><div>I have no idea what their prospect pool is like there, just based that trade off the Martin trade. Player for prospect so i just picked someone lol</div></div>

Zykov is one of CAR fans hopes for cheap top 6 FW very hard to move player at this point after his latest contract. But they do have a lot of skilled winger depth sure they would swap 1 for Kassian. Harsh 1 star for player you didn't even put in your lineup imo

I doubt Stars want any part of trading Klingberg though, Also he is RD so pairs should be Nurse+Klingberg then Sekera+Larsson which imo leaves a spot for Russell on 3rd pairing which is fine for him

Thread: Stone for Draisaitl (EDM Blockbuster)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sens4life</b></div><div>No way. Stone has more points per game than Draisaitl and over all I would much rather have Stone than Draisaitl</div></div>

If you throw out Draisaitl's 18 YO season, when he shouldn't have been in the NHL, he has a higher PPG than Stone. Also, Draisaitl is 22 now, whereas Stone didn't even become a full time NHLer until he was 22.

I'm a Flames fan and like both players, but saying Stone is better than Draisaitl and EDM should add a pick to the deal is crazy.

Thread: Oilers

I would rather have Lucic playing on the third line at $6 mil than Ryan at $7.25. At least Lucic has other attributes like toughness. Ryan is as soft as butter and made of glass.

What? A grade A prospect for a high risk/high reward prospect in Phillips, and an average AHL Goalie. This would be like me asking for Tkachuk and Brouwer for Bear, Brossoit and Sekera.

Thread: Is this fair value?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilcountryGM</b></div><div>Thats why i have Strome in there, just because RHD is more desirable. I think someone like Riley Nash would play that 3C very well.</div></div>

Yes but there is an argument to be made that Klefbom has the higher ceiling thus negating any offsets. The whole point was to say a straight swap is actually pretty equal in value for both teams.

Thread: If I were the boss

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilcountryGM</b></div><div>Shaw and Shlemko have a combined salary of 7.5 million dollars. Shaw had 20 pts last year and Kharia has 21, he too can play both center and wing, he can be resigned for 2 mill or less for 3-4 years, and Nurse will likely sign a similar contract to Klefbom. So around 4.5 mill for 7-8 years. So from the Oilers perspective I would rather have Nurse and Khaira for 7.5 mill then Shlemko and Shaw for the same money.</div></div>

I see your point, have a great day!

Thread: Would love to see this

I would do a 1 for 1 for Draisaitl. He's a big young centre and you have him for the next 7 years. He's already had 2 x 70 pts season and he's only 22.

Match him with Duchesne and you have a great top 2 centres. Even better with JGP has your 3rd centre.

Thread: YOU CANNOT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT TWO TOP SIX CENTRES!!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sens4life</b></div><div>Why? Oilers are desperate for a scoring winger like Hoffy. They don't really need Nugent- Hopkins since they already have two phenomenal centres in Drai/McDavid. Don't get me wrong..Nugent-Hopkins is an amazing player but the Oilers can 100% afford to lose him. Hoffy would easily score 40+ with McDavid. Trust me, this trade would be worth it!</div></div>

Yeah but Nuge is a better winger than hoffman

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>Yeah Draisaitl and Nurse for OEL is way too much. Maybe Nurse and a first for OEL is more likely</div></div>

I'd do Karlsson for Drai 1for1 (sens fan) a young Center with two 70pt seasons already, with a fair contract if his production keeps up and you get the best defenceman in the NHL to go with McJesus. (I still want to watch Karlsson forever but if he must go I hope it's to you guys. McDavid/Karlsson would be magic, every minute)

Thread: OK no BS, What do you guys think doable?

As an Isles fan, I think you're overpaying for Boychuk and Nelson. That said, this move helps both franchises TREMENDOUSLY roster wise. NYI needs offense. EDM needs defense. Snow and Chiarelli have a history of working out deals well. I REALLY like this. But for a fairer move for Edmonton, I'd make it the following:

Isles get: Nugent-Hopkins, Klefbom, EDM 3rd rounder
Oilers get: Nelson, Boychuk, NYI 2nd rounder
