Thread: exchanges that I will never make but in fact they are logical
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeOverlord14</b></div><div>I personally understand the trade for Tage Thompson, but I actually don't believe we should pursue him as an Oilers fan. If we didn't I wouldn't be mad, I'd certainly grow to like him, but I have a lot of faith in our young guys, especially Konovalov. I also believe we're undervaluing what Derek Ryan is to our team. That's not to say he's better than people say is, just to the Oilers he is important. For a depth forward he can play offense well and more importantly to the team he is elite on defense and the penalty kill.
I'm not saying the trade is fair, nor am I saying that Buffalo would do it, but I can see it, which is all that matters on this site.</div></div>

Absolutely agree with you.

Thread: Worst Case Scenario
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeOverlord14</b></div><div>I like the take on this. Also I really like the Gagner signing, but that's as an Oilers fan.
I must ask, how come Gagner is above Connor Brown? Connor Brown is much better. Does he have better chemistry on line 3?
Speaking of chemistry, though at the moment I agree Norris is better than Stutzle, do you think Stutzle should be on line 1?</div></div>

Note: this is the worst case scenario. So I would not love the Gagner signing, specially if it forces Brown down the lineup. Leads into question two: Brown is better and is a good fit for the top 6.

Stutzle, I think, will be the more complete player <strong>eventually</strong>. Norris is on the verge of of a 30 goal season and is better defensively in only his 2nd NHL season. Doesn't help that Stutzle has very little to work with beside him as the LW, Formenton, is finding his finish and whomever on the RW side right now is no good. Hoping we see a Formenton-Stutzle-Joseph line.

Thread: Looking Ahead
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeOverlord14</b></div><div>1) If we gave that to get Connor Brown then I will personally give Holland the nastiest kiss ever.
2) Even as someone who is a Mike Smith fan I like the idea of trading him to Arizona, but that is a wild trade and very unnecessary. It's a low return for Mike Smith alone, who is not a on a bad contract, just a bad year. Add in a 3rd and a prospect and then I'd say that the future considerations better score 60 points next season. Lastly trading Klefbom is utterly unnecessary, he does not count against the cap. So that trade would not only take my kiss back from Holland, but I would probably make him kiss my fist.</div></div>

Getting rid of Klefbom's contract would help Edmonton get out of LTIR for the year, so they can actually accrue cap space ahead of the deadline. Being stuck in LTIR all year again will prevent that for another year, so imo it's worth looking to offload his contract. And getting rid of Smith is a necessity imo, would be hard to run a Smith/Skinner combo next year.

Point is fairly taken about C. Brown, and the return would clearly need to be adjusted.

TY all for the feedback
