Thread: Updates for Oilers Next Year
Pretty good outlook on next year and I think this would work perfect if it could all be done. I would consider this a best case scenario though...
I don't think Pulj and Yamo sign for that cheap... 1.5 million isn't very much money for a top 6 player. The oilers paid that price for Derek Ryan (which is fair value not an overpayment) and he has been a healthy scratch some games this season. Two right wingers that have played top 6 minutes and average around .5 pts/game I would imagine take around 3-4 million each to be resigned. (A guy like Debrusk got 4 mil, Fabbri got 4 mil, and even Dillon Dube who is under .5 pts/game and playing bottom 6 minutes signed for 2.3 mil)

And I do honestly believe it is a hard sell for Edmonton to sign free agent goalies to come and play in Canada, in a tough market, and potentially with an average d - core in front of them.
I love Keumper but at 7 million that makes him the third highest paid goalie in the league ahead of Gibson, Hellybuyck, Sheshterkin, Grubauer, Saros, and Freddy Anderson. I'm not really sure if he is better than those players (yes some of that 7 mil would be a market premium to come to Edmonton).
Not saying I don't like Keumper but would be worried the 7 mil would make things tighter in the future when Pulj, Yamo, McLeod, Bourgault, Broberg, and Holloway are needing contracts

Thread: A Bigger Sell Concept
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JJstings315</b></div><div>Well first off really great team explanation. Thought that was superb!

as an Edmonton Fan, Ill answer towards our part in this.

Since Edmonton is really happy with the depth and where we are at this season, unless your giving us a hell of a deal like Sanford for a 5th, I just don't see us making any trades with St. Louis or infact any teams this trade deadline. We are just gonna be doing some resignings.</div></div>

Thanks for the reply. I think there would be enough teams interested in Sanford to keep his return higher than a 5th, but I feel you about edmonton trying to work with what they have. If the Blues can't get a decent pick for ZS, he becomes another option for seattle, and stl has one less fwd spot to fill.
