Thread: One trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rajvinder</b></div><div>100% depends on Holland. He does have a rep for giving up on young guys quickly. We are at 3 games where a Bouchard turnover led to the GWG. What will his position be when that hits 5 or 7.</div></div>

Didn't even notice the retention on Campbell. There's just absolutely no way. If things start to go well for either Skinner or Samsonov, the wouldn't even have the money to give them a raise. Likewise, for Klingberg.

Really doesn't make any sense to go for the older, more expensive, worse defensively player with less term who is also a turnover machine. Bouchard has 8 takeaways and 9 turnovers, while Klingberg has 5 takeaways and 8 turnovers. Holland has been pretty patient with Puljujarvi, Yamamoto, Holloway, and Broberg and unlike the first two who have been give up on, Bouchard has carved out a role for himself. So, if he does give up on him it's definitely not to bring in Klingberg.

Thread: Since we are all doing Oilers trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rajvinder</b></div><div>Domi is a better fit for your forward group. He is a playmaker to complement the goalscoring you have. He can play C or LW/RW.

Team has been called out a few times this year for being soft, McCabe solves that.

Timmins replaces Bouchard. If he can stay healthy he likely puts up a 65+ point pace. He had 6 points in 3 preseason games and was on a 50 point pace with no PP time playing 3rd pair last year.

Plus the deal clears some cap for you (equal but you get an extra roster player) and a 2nd.

Let's say that spare player now is Broberg. You have about $1M in free cap + Broberg and this 2nd to upgrade someone else like Kulak, Kane, etc.

So it's a table setting in that it plugs a bunch of holes and gives you assets to make a big move.</div></div>

I laughed when you said Timmins and 65 points in the same sentence

Edmonton laughs this trade out of the room

Thread: 23 draft load up lottery No Coots additions
I like Provorov, I am nowhere near his biggest hater. But, I don't know about that return honestly. I agree with the person who said its probably not EDM to do this since they have Nurse. I'd be more looking at like LAK, DET, maybe even ANA. But I also wonder, is he really worth two 1sts? Then again, Seth Jones got two 1sts. For TK, if you think Pelletier would be as good as TK to put him there, then why would Calgary do this move? Why don't they save the cap and just use Pelletier? I think the return is fine in a vacuum but for their sake, they are trying to win now and good talent on ELC realllllllly helps. Finally, what is this Flyers team's goal in your eyes? I would say with the moves you made, they're looking to win the division. Is that the right plan? They have been surprising us so far this year. Why Horvat at LW and not Gauthier? They are a natural C and LW respectively.
