Also pick any team and a lower draft pick it really doesn't matter Stalock is a very competent back up.

Thread: What About This

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJDevilsFan89</b></div><div>Cap space is at a premium, I suspect Devils would ask for something more than a 7th</div></div>

I don't think so considering the term is only 1 year and it works out to 2.25MM for a guy that is a fairly capable back up for a non-contender.

Thread: Realistic mock-up roster for Oilers 20212022

I don't mind the make up of the team but some of the deals don't make sense. You need to change the perimeters to 2021-2022.

- Driedger is a UFA and due a big raise.
- Blake Coleman is a UFA and will get a raise.
- Yamamoto is a RFA and due a raise
- Kharia is an RFA
- Russel is signed to a new deal worth 1.25MM
- Hopkins, Barrie, Smith, Chaisson, Haas, Kulikov, are all UFA's
- Koskinen only has 1 year left and his buyout is less.

Thread: Radical changesthis is contreversial

Edmonton does not want Jones. We have big ticket players we need to re-sign next couple and both Lavoie and Broberg are going to good NHLers in the near future. Also Jones has 1 year left, Columbus fans are going to be very disappointed with the returns for a guy that has said that he wants to explore free agency. Teams will only offer a huge package if he agrees to resign prior to the trade.

Thread: Trading for closest GSVA comparables

The Oilers wouldn't even trade Draisaitl for Matthews so McDavid is a non starter. Maybe Matthews and Marner for McDavid but then it would cost wat too much so no way to make this work.

Thread: If Chiarelli was not an idiot

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>All in all EDM would have a cap hell of epic proportions.

Hall would've walked long ago, they never would have drafted Yamamoto. Most likely they never would have had the money to sign Barrie or Koskinen either.</div></div>

Actually the Hall contract would have just expired last year so we probably would have traded him prior to free agency for draft picks.
We would have never signed Koskinen so would have also dodged that bullet.
Absolutely would have drafted someone like Yamo.
The bad thing is we probably wouldn't have been so terrible so we wouldn't have won the McDavid Lottery.
So all in all we are actually better off now except we would have had Barzal.

You don't have to agree or disagree. This is about what would motivate the Jackets to make a trade.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>I understand and agree with the choice of buyouts. The kosk one is very unfortunate to do but it seems coaching staff in my opinion is making a huge mistake riding smith as much as they do not keeping kosk sharp and burn out smith is a disaster awaiting. If kosk isn’t going to have the coaches trust going into next year then gotta cut ties I just don’t agree with coaching staff on this one.</div></div>

I agree 100% Kosk needs to play to stay sharp.

Thread: Oilers buy out all the dead weight

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>RNH, Goodrow, Yamamoto for instance.

Also I guess is a bit pointless to ask from a clear Oilers fan about whether their own team is worthwhile location for UFAs . I mean what kind of fan would answer "no" to this question?</div></div>

Barrie chose to come to Edmonton for less money. If RNH wants to stay in Edmonton he will only get 6-6.5 and he and his wife love it here (she is from Red Deer). Tamo will most likely get a bridge deal as he has not has a great season and Goodrow will not get more than 2MM from anyone he is a 3-4 LW.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Is Edmonton really that desirable location for free agents to sign in that almost all top assets in the free agency would do it, some of them with good discounts as well?

I personally doubt it.

Also - re-sign Barrie. His playing style is absolutely made for Edmonton. That player-team relationship is one of the most symbiotic ones in the league.</div></div>

Yes Edmonton is, players will look at how it worker out for Barrie. Also who is getting a discount?
