This stuff with jp kinda sounds like it's out of Holland hands for the most part. I'm sure if it was up to him would sign all day long. If jp wants a change really really sucks but imo he's earned it. Didn't blame him for going home was super happy got two more good years out of him at very very fair value after all that mess. No matter what the return will be better than it could have been. If he goes anywhere hope it's Ottawa be a really nice fit for him. This will likely lead to pursuing Kane more aggressively.

Lol Holland wouldn't offer that package. Broberg is off limits massive organizational hole creating moving him. Skinner is the future guy been investing in him for years.

Welcome to COL Puljujarvi
Why would jp sign that? He could get more from Edmonton and signing an offer sheet for less than oilers could offer doesn't make sense will get matched and likely traded anywhere but the team tried to sign with. Make less and zero control of his future.
If jp was on the move very likely to happen before or at the draft.

I don't see much point in moving Barrie just to replace with kulak at comparable wage on his offside. Results won't be anywhere close to what expecting. Far better off just keeping Barrie for his strong side.

Did something odd
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan_Ollivier</b></div><div>Nurse, Kassian, Kieth, Ceci, Hyman, Barrie and Smith are all bad contracts. Either too much for what they can do or too much term for players who will decline before their deals are up. Nurse is the worst one. He's not a top pair defenceman but scores points off the back of McDavid and is below average when McDavid isn't on the ice. Yost from TSN did an article on Nurse about how he's 2 different players. A average to below average top 4 without McDavid and elite with McDavid. Paying him for what McDavid does for him is a mistake.</div></div>
Ceci provided well over his cap hit.
Keith played top four minutes all year maybe a bit over paid at this stage but delivered exactly what Edmonton wanted. Good luck finding a more tallent right shot puck mover for under 5 million Barrie is very fair value. Your the first person I've ever heard say anything negative about Hyman contract very fair value there. Smith saved the oilers season and absolutely provided extremely great value for just over two million and along with Kass they both aren't even on this roster. Nurse at 5.6 no complaints. It remains to be seen if he's worth the raise he got but can't judge him against his new cap hit until he plays games at that cap hit. If healthy I see no reason he can't live up to it he's out preformed every deal he's had so far.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan_Ollivier</b></div><div>The Oilers defence sucks, their goaltending sucks and their depth sucks. They won't succeed until they fix all 3 of those. If winning a round or two is the big wins you are hoping for you'll be fine, but only because the Pacific is by far the weakest division in hockey. To me, I want the Oilers to be good for McDavid's sake but I don't see how that is even possible. You have bad contracts all over the lineup, no depth and nothing special coming down the pipeline as far as prospects. I look at the Oilers and just feel for you guys. This is as good as it's going to get before getting just awful.</div></div>
Bad contracts? Find one on this roster.
No good prospects? Holloway bourgault broberg are certainly very quality prospects.
D was good enough to reach final four with nurse playing on one leg entire playoffs.
Forwards I'm not sure what there is to complain about lost Kane but teams loose rentals every year still a better roster than started last year with and that should be the goal every year steps forward.

Very aggressive wishful thinking
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ceeque84</b></div><div>I dont think Rutta is a big downgrade from Barrie if Bouch is to be the full time PP1 guy next season. Rutta played big minutes for Tampa up on the top pairing with Hedman, he is better defensively than Barrie.
Agreed that the Debrincat trade is a little bit of an overpay, idealy i would like to remove Bourgault from it, but i was taking into consideration that they would be very late first rnd picks.
I dont think the Arizona trade is an overpay. Again, the first rnd pick for Crouse would be late in the rnd. I get that alot of Oiler fanas are super high on Savoie, but i think its a bunch of biased speculation. Plus, if they are hypothetically getting Debrincat and keeping Yamo, there is no need for more another undersized winger, they also have a surplus of Left shot wingers... another reason it would be best to try and keep Bourgault if possible.</div></div>
Bourgault would be off limits for me just because we need a right shot forward coming up.

That's fair. I just wanted to use this year's first to accomplish as much as I can somewhat creativity. Moved two short term ltir contracts and used left overs from that to go after Talbot.

Barrie Getting Trade Take 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Greed</b></div><div>I agree; personally I wouldnt mind keeping Barrie around. But the problem of the Oilers is the defense, and Barrie eat up a roster spot and 4.5 Mil in cap. When Bouchard is on the roster doing the same role as him, it's pretty easy to point to Barrie as the first piece to move on the team.</div></div>
Who's to say bouchard doesn't fall into a soft more slump? Who's to say bouchard stays healthy? I look at it as a combined just over 5 million for both that's solid really good value. Move Barrie when bouchard starts actually effectiving the cap until then enjoy the luxury of having both. That's just my thinking tho obviously most don't share that opinion.

Chicago trade is heavily one sided for hawks.
Arizona trade is a massive overpay.
Moving Barrie resulted in a big downgrade I don't think the team can afford to make. Still count on that 3rd pair alot.
San Jose trade I just don't see any way San Jose gets kane back and if they do I wouldn't talk to them that's beer league bs let them have Kane and find another answer betting most gms will see it that way.

Barrie needs top tier players to play with in order to be able to produce - guys like MacKinnon, Matthews, Marner, McDavid ir Draisaitl. DAL doesn't have such players to offer.</div></div>
Who says Barrie needs those types of players? He's been fortunate to get to play with some great players but that shouldn't be used against him.

Barrie Getting Trade Take 1
I just can't get behind moving Barrie. He's similar age to most of the core group and have liked his game more specifically this past season saw a ton of extra attention to defensive side am absolutely fine with his on ice contributions but his off ice impact I think is severally undervalued by fans. His personality seems like an incredible asset in the dressing room.

Kane trade
I don't see San Jose getting Kane back. They terminated his contract they should not be allowed a do over and capitalize on his boosted value now... That would be the most beer league ruling ever. If it happens I wouldn't pursue a trade unless it was extremely one sided. Betting most gms would be upset and want to see San Jose next move.

You both are dreaming suggesting it would require a first to move Kass.... Overpaid but still an nhl caliber player. Let's say he makes double what he should that's 1.6 dead money for two years does that justify asking for a first round pick? Not even close.
As for the trade I personally don't like the idea of being married to any goalie brought in. I'd like a short term 1 or 2 year deal to at least get a better clearer picture of skinner. Talbot maybe.
Barrie for soucy trade I think should be careful. Yes save cap but moving a right shot for left shot makes 11-7 much more difficult. So that's one regularly used tool out of the freshly signed coaches play book.

Forget about Kane
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Quillanrocks</b></div><div>I don't disagree with you; I dread to think what $$ and term Seattle may be stuck with if Francis goes hard after Klingberg and would prefer they pivot elsewhere if too rich and too long. (God knows his first 3 BIG signings aren't looking too good!!) But Klingberg can defend and has a history with Oleksiak, so I get the appeal if I'm Francis. And I just hesitate to spend draft picks on players who aren't sure to be a fit for this team how it is currently designed. Barrie doesn't seem like the guy. He ran the PP with 2 of the top 5 players on earth. His numbers are inflated and no one would ever confuse him for a defender that you'd trust to preserve a lead!! Nothing about Seattle's roster says "that's the guy to make the team better." JMO!</div></div>
Well both Tippett and woodcroft have used Barrie late in games to hold leads and woodcroft actually moved Barrie onto the pk when it was struggling to snap out of it. The reputation about Barrie not being able to defend are very much over blown and inaccurate. That being said not suggesting he's a shut down type definitely a playmaker more than defender but much more capable than most on this site will credit him for. Kinda like how you pointed out he ran a pp with two extremely talented players personally don't think it's right to view it in a way that takes away from giving the credit earned. Multiple other players have ran that pp over the years klef nurse bouch but with Barrie it hit historic heights for extended period of time. The perception of Barrie on this site just seems well off what it should be in my opinion.
