Thread: the ducks

Fowler would be a great add for oilers but not at the cost of Bouchard. Fill one spot by emptying another isn’t really helping oilers get ahead and Bouchard having another year of his elc is incredibly important for Edmonton.

Thread: Just for Fun Balls to the MF Wall

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>How come?</div></div>

Sorry for delay but issue I’d have with the Dallas trade is the goalie swap is questionable but more so as much as I’m a fan of Joe and he would be an excellent rental don’t really like giving up roster player prospects and picks to get him just seems like tapping into every source of resource we have in order to bring in a rental. Kass I know many just view as a cap dump but damn when he’s on his game he’s a wrecking ball that can and hopefully will come out in the playoffs really hesitant in moving him. Samorukov and Lavoie are both very good prospects loosing both in the same deal I’m not really a fan of doing but if that’s all that was involved could live with but then also have very significant amount of draft capital on top of it. Good target just too much in my IMO.

Montreal can keep price. Even 50% retention which doesn’t happen on term contracts isn’t even close to being worth that package.

I typically enjoy reading people’s thought processes but in this case I stopped reading instantly when price was mentioned….. too much term too much money and trust his health just as much as smiths for all those reasons easy pass

Hard to say. Smith could retire and each passing day sitting on injured list just makes that more of a sad reality.

I have no idea I remember seeing something about him taking a loan against his current contract. It’s hard to say how that will play out really no idea of state laws and bankruptcy.

Ya but I’m thinking that 1/3 he’s loosing will be very tough on him financially considering the debts he has.

Thread: Gortons Liquidation Sale

Price has too much term to work around for Edmonton so that easily kills that deal.
Chiarot I do think Holland will be in on and I could even see a first being in play but Lavoie is really pushing it too far in my opinion.

Thread: Lines vs pens

Leon mcdavid yam
Hyman nuge jp
Foegele Mcloed kass
Benson Ryan turris
Would be my forward lines against Pittsburg. I like kass in the top six but Pittsburg isn’t a team I’d be overly concerned about wanting a bit extra size and grit in top six rather put that third line back together for this one.
Only reason put turris in is because this is the type of match up I could see going to overtime possibly shootout where he has been clutch.
Defensive pairings is tough with all the injuries will likely see some pairings switched part way threw the game I’m ok starting with these and going from there.

I don’t think he can afford to only sign a one million dollar contract after the buyout might have to go play a season or two in the Khl if that’s all nhl teams are willing to offer.

I’d take a flyer on Kane to the oilers if can make the money make sense. He’s a guy that has a shady history but on ice no question he can help a team win and be a huge impact.

Can’t retain on that many trades. I don’t hate the oilers trade although I doubt Russell would be involved hard time picturing oilers moving him sooo well respected from management to players.

All that money gave kosk should go towards jp he’s going to cost about that much more. Then need to come up with a back up plan for when smith misses the first month or two of next year just like the past two years.

Thread: Sell The Mall - 2022 Cup or Bust

I’m ok doing upgrades to the roster to push guys down but I’m not really cool with giving up significant assets to just upgrade the fourth line that sees very little action.

Thread: Slafkovsky

Honestly I kinda wish Edmonton was in position to make that trade I don’t hate the idea biggest problem I have is oilers already have yam who is somewhat comparable enough to lessen the need for a brown. Very strong defensively pitch in some offence. Using a first to address something we already have isn’t fitting rather use the first to address more of a need. That being said I wouldn’t be against the idea of some kind of swap between yam and brown obviously in this situation first wouldn’t be anywhere close to being in play.

Think it’s one offseason too soon to move Barrie. I’d rather Barrie over letang mostly because don’t really trust letangs health. If can get jp signed to that great but about 2 million shy of what I think he’s going to get.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Not happening. Seriously, you Habs fans need to get creative. You haven't had an original idea in weeks.</div></div>

To be fair this might be the first or one of the first times seen habs fans include Barrie in a trade. Adds a unique more unlikely twist to it. Russell and Barrie seem highly doubtful to be moved at deadline rest of the pieces could be in play but don’t see this deal taking place.

Thread: new path

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Why are you assuming Smith and Koskinen aren't options?

And why do you think guys like Korpisalo, Allen and Georgiev are available? Because they suck and their teams know it. And they haven't moved because nobody wants them, so I 100% disagree that they would be easy to move if they aren't playing well.</div></div>

Assuming smith retires due to lingering injuries. If kosk is going to accept cutting his pay in half or near half I see him choosing to go to a different market where he’s not constantly being criticized by both fans and media.
So upgrading over them requires either a big investment in free agency or a bunch of assets threw a trade both those options I don’t think is needed given skinner has looked strong to very strong in each game he’s played. Better the group in front of him not only betters his chance of success but also gives an Allen or korp a chance to succeed as well. If by next deadline that looks like something that needs to be addressed moving out a 2-3 million dollar goalie with very little term wouldn’t be difficult.
