Thread: Looking ahead to next season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AnonymousSensFan</b></div><div>Why do the Sens do this?

Chychrun is good. They like him. He's their 2nd best dman. They finally have a good top 4 after about a decade.

They've already had Ceci and it didn't work out. They aren't trying him again, or taking his contract. Holloway has yet to show much in the NHL. Even then, Sens don't have scoring issues. It's defense for them. They have forward prospects that can play 3rd line, or just sign a UFA without having to give up an asset. Wingers have been pretty easy to acquire.

So the only thing of real of value is a first. Considering they gave up a 12th OA+ for Chychrun, that first would have to be top 10.

Sens would decline.

Also, Chychrun doesn't want to play RD. It's why the Sens have been playing Chabot at RD when paired with Chychrun. So he wouldn't solve your RD issue.</div></div>

This all makes a lot of sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dickie_Dunn</b></div><div>Like it. If pushed I go for Marino rather than Pesce. Same Package. Could be viewed as a bit of an over pay.</div></div>

Marino was drafted by the oilers a few years back and refused to sign. So unless his attitude about the city/organization has changed I don’t want him.

Why would Patrick Kane sign in Edmonton, and for only a million dollars?? Wishful thinking.

Because we don’t need “potential”. We need toughness. Which Lemieux provides.

Yes, that’s probably right. I’d trade Skinner instead of Campbell, but it would be a challenge making the numbers work.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJDevils1317</b></div><div>No...why do the Devils do this..</div></div>

Broberg is a top prospect who has shown well in limited time. Former first rounder.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JackForHart</b></div><div>Why do we do this</div></div>

To get Carter, a proven scorer who has won 2 Stanley Cups and is still an elite face-off man and Miller - a proven offensively-minded right shot defender who could play up in the lineup in case of injury. They Oilers are in win now territory and these players can help the team win now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluetomorrow83</b></div><div>Yea, it's questionable. Kulak/Ceci for Faksa might make more sense for both teams if Dallas buys out Suter.</div></div>

Doesn’t make much sense for the oilers who need quality defenders. If they use some of the savings to get a better RHD though it could work out.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>You're giving up your top prospect for a 29 year old 3C with two years control?</div></div> Holloway is our best prospect. Faksa wins face offs, blocks shots, and kills penalties - a skill set that is in short supply.

Thread: Veterans for the Stanley Cup

Lots of wishful thinking here, starting with the deal to unload Campbell’s contract. No team will take on Campbell without the oilers retaining salary and sweetening the deal with a pick or a prospect.

Thread: Just messing around with stuff

Scott Mayfield vs Ceci is a wash; Ceci had a down year last season but a good year in 21-22. Also, the Mayfield contract is too rich.

Like the Perry and Kessell signings.

Yeah, that’s too high a price…. I’d include Holloway but not Bouchard.

I hope Holland is smarter than that. Actually, I know he is. He refused to include Broberg in Chychrun discussions, in part due to the latter's injury history and partly because he has a ton of confidence in Broberg's abilities.</div></div>

Oilers are in “win now” mode. And Parayko helps them win now.
