Thread: Ranking NHL GMs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brad_Treliving</b></div><div>Darnell Nurse contract
Jack Campbell contract
Overpaying for an aging Ekholm
Signing Cody Ceci and Tyson Barrie
No depth and defense

Says a lot about his body of work</div></div>

Nurse contract was a situation caused by previous gms he didn’t have a whole lot of control over and isn’t as big of an over pay as it’s made out to be.
Campbell had a rough season but it’s also his first season in Edmonton might be a bit too soon to judge that.
I’d agree to an extent the price was high for ekholm but holland targeted the player that fit exactly what the team needed and gave them a massive boost I’d say results spoke for themselves he’s been excellent. Good trade
Ceci and Barrie were both great signings too not sure how to defend that thought they defended it well enough on there own. Barrie quarterbacked a historic pp and ceci teamed up with nurse for all the hard minutes.
No depth? When really good young players like Holloway or Broberg can’t get regular playing time on the big club one would suggest they have depth.

Thread: The only BRODIE TO EDM that actually works
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>So Kulak has no value to you? IMO he's worth a 2nd round pick.</div></div>

Absolutely think he’s got value but I don’t think GMs such as holland at this time will extract that value. Would Chicago value kulak high enough to spend 5+ million on this upcoming year? Just think with the again limited cap growth this off-season it leaves guys like kulak who by all rights should carry decent value as toss ins or add ons in trades. He’s a good player but a tough sell at this time for this type of move. Don’t think this idea is bad just timing of it doesn’t fit current landscape of the league. If Chicago is willing to invest that type of money they could shop around and get possibly a better player from a team stresses over cap space. Not going to complain about the situation holland is in has done an amazing job over the past few years but he’s caught in a position of weakness to negotiate this one.

Thread: Dont Trade Defenceman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilednGreasy</b></div><div>I think you're missing the point here. This is not what I think the Oilers should do now, it's what I think they shouldn't have done then. They could of course trade for Ekholm or any other player now. What I'm trying to convey here is that I believe trading and not resigning their young promising defenceman in the past has made the team worse.</div></div>

But not one of those guys really amounted to much... Bear might be the best of that bunch and he would be a healthy scratch on the current roster. I'd give Jones away for Keith a dozen more times if I could. Wouldn't think twice if choosing between Russell at that time over oesterle. The only fair d man could say we gave up on too soon is Petry which is questionable if he was willing to resign heard conflicting reports.
