Thread: Conservative Money moving Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>What does Soucy bring that Nemo doesn't?</div></div>

Not a serious up grade to Nemo i get that. I do think you are prone to set yourself up for failure deploying to many young/rookie defenseman. Soucy is somebody that could play RD and there is no issues with having to many good young defense, I think Soucy adds a bit more stability. His cap is super friendly as well compared to the two above....

Thread: Conservative Money moving Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Appleton is a 4th liner - why are you sending Barrie across for him? That makes no sense... I know you want the cap money but (a) you didn't replace him, (b) you didn't use the cap space and (c) you lost the trade badly - think Hall for Larsson bad.</div></div>

Usually I agree with ur takes on these types of oiler related posts man but I gotta disagree with this one

Barrie is bad and doesn't do anything for edmonton

He is already on the decline signed to 4.5 for another 3 years on the wrong side of 30.

He is terrible defensively and offensively doesn't fill any need (Nurse and Bouchard are offensively minded enough with even samurkov coming up soon)

With this trade, you are able to shed cap long term (which will help with the multiple rfas we have to sign in the coming years) and open up room in the bottom 4 to developing prospects

Appleton is a great player for the playoffs as well as he brings grit and sneaky goal scoring

Two other things besides that one trade though
-If Edmonton signs Chiarot to that I will cry he is Barrie but worse
-If the Kane project keeps being even a mild success and he stays out of trouble some team will throw 4-6 million at the guy short term he's a top-line winger to have
