Thread: What Holland probably does

Been proposing this one since early summer and my understanding from NJ fans is that they'd generally be willing to add a pick (a 2nd or 3rd, depending on which you ask).

Traded for Debrincat and got rid of Matt Murray without giving up a single roster player or prospect. Tidy few days for GMPD

Thread: HERE THEY COME

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilsince95</b></div><div>Pulju is RFA though, if it went to arbitration then wouldn't the arbitrator only award based on other RFA level performances, not free market values?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilsince95</b></div><div>So Zacha walks? If that were the case I'd hope the Oil seek his rights in a Pulju trade, I think that would be a useful middle 6 add if Pulju is lost.</div></div>

Yeah I think so, makes sense for the Oilers too. Wood is interesting case too, I'd like to keep him but the QO is really high.

Thread: Avs go after Copp

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilsince95</b></div><div>I feel Kuemper will get offered a Markstrom/Grubauer contract from someone. Can see a guy taking a but less to stay if his team was in the finals, but 4.1 instead of 6 would be a stretch.</div></div>
I think this a pretty accurate take. Kuemper might be willing to take a Lehner type deal and COL did pay a fairly pretty penny for him.

All of your posts are something that us (sometimes spoiled) Rangers fans need to remember and consider. Heartbreaking, but it was nice to watch hockey for this long while cheering on our team. Cheers to you guys and your teams.

Thread: Some moves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilsince95</b></div><div>Ultimately I'd think Zacha and Pulju will cost a similar amount, but it'd be great if the Devil's took back money. If the Oilers can sign a cheap winger like Kuzmenko for a year (I believe he needs to be on an ELC to start), I like the idea of a solid 3C coming in like Zacha, freeing up Nuge ( and sometimes McLeod) to jump up on the wing into the top 6. A good overall look for the Oilers up front.

If the Devil's were interested in going after an FA goalie with their cap space (Kuemper, Husso, etc.), I do wonder if this deal could involve Blackwood as well. What is Blackwood's value rn, or is he too much at a low point in value for a trade to be likely?</div></div>
I can see Blackwood being traded but it wouldn’t be before they have 2 other options

Thread: EDM fans should hope that Keith and Smith do not retire

I actually really like the Pulju for Samsonov swap. Caps need youth in their Winger core and Pulju plays with size and speed and the Oilers need a G and Samsonov has shown flashes of being a true 1A

Thread: No kane and retirements

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilsince95</b></div><div>I believe if Keith retires (sounds unlikely), the Oil get almost 9 million in cap room through some convoluted cap measure. If that were to happen, I feel it is almost guaranteed that Holland puts up the money for Kane (for better or worse). But for whatever the rumors are worth, sounds like Smith is a potential retirement, but not Keith, at this point.</div></div>

Ya I doubt Keith retires(also read that the extra cap room thing but that was so odd to me)

That'd be a really good 4th line, probably the best bottom six the Oilers have had in decades.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shylo_Moxii</b></div><div>a 3rd and Yakimov for Dadonov? I know he wasn't amazing but that's basically a free 20 goal scorer.</div></div>
They have no room to take on any cap. And if they can clear $5M they're 100% re-signing free 40-goal scorer Evander Kane and keeping their 3rd.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilsince95</b></div><div>I don't watch the Penguins much, but I'm stunned Rodrigues with 42 points is not slated to be on your preferred 12 man forward roster. What makes you leave a player producing that much off? Just curious.</div></div>

Hes been on a long drought. Only 3 goals in his last 40 games. I dont think he gets scratched in fact I hope Boyle gets scratched, but these are the lines j want to see for next game. Were getting to the point in the season where you scratch some of your bottom 6 guys and see who fits best where and who does better

Thread: Wingers in Disguise

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilsince95</b></div><div>Pretty common I think. I know McDavid was in the low 40's for a few seasons before dragging his % up near 50%, and now finally he's up at about 53%.</div></div>
Yup, MacKinnon's gone through it, Barzal is coming out of it, and Nuge nearly got through it just to get moved to the wing the moment he broke the 50% barrier. It seems like most young centers brought into the league in their teens go through a period of bad faceoffs, but usually they break through at some point.

Nah Goalies usually play till they are older. Under 30 is young for a goalie.
