Literally every team not named Toronto declines

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 3 at 4:54 a.m.

Broberg will replace Kulak in the off season, Broberg just had one of the best seasons in the AHL as far as defensemen go.
Holloway is a keeper, a sub 1M player that looks to be ramping up his game.

Thread: Reclamation Types

Holloway has dealt with a ton of unlucky injuries and has been so great for us in the playoffs so far, Broberg also has been doing great in the AHL. As stated by <a href="/users/Bluetomorrow83" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Bluetomorrow83</a> we are up against the cap pretty hard next year meaning we are going to be relying on Broberg and Holloway to fill key depth (or for Holloway potentially top 6 if he keeps this up) spots for cheap.

Only way I can see either being moved is in a larger package for TK or Sanheim which Philly won't want to do

Thread: Reclamation Types

Unlikely Oilers move either prospect they need sub 1M roster players next year with the 3.5M in bonus carryover. Holloway has also been quite good since his recall and Broberg was good in the AHL just had Ekholm, Nurse and Kulak as LD in front of him.

Edmonton accepts, would be a great fit to our middle 6 for only 1 million a n d we dump the Campbell contract?

Deal every day of the week.

Thread: Doing All 32 Teams Realistic Offseasons Sharks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SJS2212</b></div><div>Why are the Sharks adding Kostin and Benning? What Edmonton is sending over is basically the cost of just moving Campbell's contract (14th overall is the draft pick cost - so mid 20's pick plus Bourgault plus 4th is probably equal to 14th overall). For SJ to have to be adding value doesn't make a lot of sense.</div></div>
You can take Benning off. Kostin obviously wants to be in Edmonton though.

Edmonton was only looking to move Ceci for an upgrade, they weren't looking to move him at all costs.

Thread: Offseason

So Edmonton takes on a more expensive, equally bad goalie and gives up some really good assets to do that? Never seen an easier decline of a deal. I'm not sure the Oilers would trade Soupy for Elvis straight up.

Hawks decline as well. They aren't paying to take on Laine with his injury issues and bad attitude. But some other team might give up a 3rd for him half retained.

Seems like an oilers type move, I'd do it.

Congratulations, you've made a trade that doesn't really make any sense for either team.

Thread: Big Bad Contracts

Laine is $3.7M more than Kane and is also massively underperforming his contract. There's no way the Oilers do this.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb. 5 at 2:08 a.m.

Thread: Ideal deadline

Oilers don’t need to dump Campbell. Won’t pay a 1st and Broberg to do that when he can just be bought out.

No interest in NAK.

Some interest in Dowd but only with 50% retained.

Some interest in Mantha if better options are too expensive.

Some interest for Jensen from Oilers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Optimism</b></div><div>How about neither. Toffoli is a slow goal scorer. If you note the Oil already have lots of that with 2 50 goal guys, a 3rd on on pace for 50 and 25 to 30 for the next 2 forwards.</div></div>

Then speak with the oilers fan proposing a trade for Toffoli.

Thread: lindholm esk trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>You don’t want the brown overages so NJD would have to get close to 4M below the cap.

Or depending on how retention would work on Brown’s contract, EDM retains 50% there NJD retains more on Toffoli and both teams split the overage charge.</div></div>

The bonuses have already been booked (minimum GP bonus…not like ELC bonus that can be relative to team). So I don’t think any of the bonus would travel…still gets tagged on EDM books.

Saros this year is well below average, in fact it is his worst season by far and its not close and all his good season are on one team, zero guarantee he will be any good when he goes to another team.

G are to volatile and unpredictable to have any semblance of value like the other positions, just look at Jack Campbell ffs....

Luckily for you Ken Holland has never paid a 1st for a rental, and he won't start with Monahan. There are teams out there who are desperate for centers, but Edmonton isn't one of them.

McLeod will get more than that. Probably Bouchard too.

But it can happen if you run a 22 man roster.
