Yeah, I realize an error I made in my valuations. I was looking at precedent for bad contract dumping and was basing my comparisons on this. But now I just realized that those were during the Vegas Expansion and there was alot more to it than just cap dump. The 1sts packaged to Vegas were also for them to leave XYZ players alone and not pick them during the Expansion Draft.

Forward Signings
Elliott is ok.
Connolly likely going to ask for (and get) a MIN of 4x4.
I don't mind the Pirri signing. buryable salary if it doesnt work out, and low term.
I'm not sold on Ferland. I like him but I think the oilers need more speed and skill in their search for wingers to shore up our wings around McD Drai + Nuge. Cap space is already so precious, keep Kassian for the grit aspect of Ferland's game, and get that 40ish point production elsewhere for a caphit of 5ish mil and 6 year term. I'd rather see the oilers seek Dzingle, Nyquist, maybe even Panik, Tanev or Eberle. I'd be looking for 2 wingers and looking to pay 4x$4M or 4x5 or 5x5 contracts.
Pass on Brad Malone.
I like the Daniel Carr signing. Low risk, cheap.
Like I said earlier, I'd keep Kassian. We already don't have much for depth for forwards and Kassian is still serviceable. Depending on how the year goes, if your not in a playoff race next year, could fetch a 3rd rounder at Trade Deadline.
And finally, yes, Oilers NEED to offload a couple D this offseason. Too many D and need to free up that logjam to be able to make room for younger guys coming up from AHL (Jones, Bear), from europe (Persson) and maybe even from OHL (Bouchard).
Maybe deal Benning and Russell as they have some value and could receive mid to late rounds pick in return. Not too sure what to do with Sekera (keep him for veteran presence on third pairing to teach the new kids? Buy him out to free up capspace to sign those two wingers I spoke about earlier???).

Interesting move to seek to sign Hayes as a Centreman instead of Duchene.
I actually like it Hayes is 2 years younger, will be more reasonable in asking price ($6M ish instead of $8M for Duchene), and I think Dubois will keep getting better and fill the #1C role perfectly therefore your search should be for a #2 C and Hayes fills that perfectly. Plus you retain your 2020 1st pick in NOT signing Duchene.

To be honest, I'm ok with the Duchene trade. Signing him to a 8 year deal would have been hard to float in the later years of his contract all while trying to remain competitive.
The Stone trade though, I'm right there with you buddy. I would take that trade back 9 times out of 10.

Well done. I like all your signings, RFA and UFA, and even your trades.
I think your valuation is very close on asking price and assets you are asking in return. The only close one that I'm not sure would be accepted is Trouba to NJ.
But nonetheless, a very nice GM Arm Chair submission by someone who obviously follows the Jets.

I agree. I see Stone going to Winnipeg more than NSH. And I agree with MelnykOut, Vesa+Niku+Conditional 2nd (1st if he signs) for Stone.
With regards to the return for Duchene, thinking more around the lines of 1st + Tolvonen + something like a 4th Rnd pick or something.
Don't think NYI are interested in a guy like Ceci, even if the Sens cover 50% of his salary. I don;t think ANYONE will bite on Ceci. Firstly, Dorion over values him and will ask too much which will scare away buyer. Secondly, he is RFA and to qualify him it will cost similar salary (even if it goes to arbitration). No one will pay Ceci more than 2.5M per year.
For Dzingel, I'm thinking a 1st and a B Prospect is about right. I think your value there is bang on. If Sens retain salary this is definitely something they (CGY) would accept.
Although not impossible to fathom SJ to want to shore up their goal tending for the playoffs... I really don't think Anderson will be targeted. I have my money on Elliot for SJ. Or even Talbot if PHI retains salary. Could easily ask for a 2nd rnd pick in exchange.

^This.
I don't think the Sens are interested in a goalie, unless they are swapping Comrie for Hogberg. With Hogberg, Gustavsson, and soon Daccord, in the farm system, they are in a position of oversupply. NOT to mention that they have Anderson AND Condon still under contract next year.
They desperately need to shore up their depth on their D. I also think you swap Comrie with Green, Niku or Stanley.

Unfortunately, because he was loaned out from Vancouver Canucks to The Leaf's affiliate (*Marlies), Dubas has no ability to do anything with the aforementioned asset (Gagner), as it was still the property of the Canucks. The "Loan" of Gagner to the Marlies, is exactly that, a loan. For Gagner to get back into the NHL, it would be reliant on Green... who for some reason, didn't like Gagner and preferred giving heavy minutes to Roussel, Beagle, Schaller.

As much as I love Kaapo Kakko, I still think the right move to to pick Hughes if you win the #1 pick. With him in the picture, you have options. You can keep him, play him on the wing or play him center and trade Nuge. You can Trade Hughes if you're really attached to Nuge and get a decent winger and package of prospect or picks in return.
But if you win #2 draft lottery, great, Kakko could immediately play on the wing for either McDavid or Drai which would be a GAME CHANGER. It is the difference between Edmonton continuing to be handcuffed due to cap space thus failing to make the playoffs next year AGAIN.
OR, with Kakko, you have an elite winger available NOW and most importantly, at an ELC cap hit.
If you pick#3, could grab Cozens who would also be great as a winger. Would need a year or two to develop until he can make a difference in the NHL.
OR you could just keep with the Oilers practice and trough him directly to the wolves. LOL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MountRoyal514</b></div><div>Edmonton saved enough cap space to get to the end of the year without being forced to pay other teams to take on their bad contracts, so that in itself is a win for them..</div></div>
^^^ THIS. It was getting to the point of needing to clear/waive a couple guys to be able to bring up Sekera. So you either lose guys to a waiver claim (which, there not much to lose I guess, lol), or you have to pay someone to take on bad cap space.
Now I don't know the legal implications are in HAVING to bring up Sekera... but I betcha you (oilers front office) have to showcase good faith if a player TRULY believe he is ready to play and WANTS to play. Don't think you can jsut say, nahhh, we'll just leave you on LTIR for the rest of the season.
I'm thinking, Sekera wanted back in, which pressured the Oilers in having to respond. I don't see too many scenarios where you win in a situation of being cap handcuffed, and needed to clear enoug space to bring him back.
Typical Chiarelli move (position of weakness ie: where everyone knows you are cornered/desperate) would have been to package out a 3rd round pick with Talbot for Elliot or Neuvirth. LOL.
For EDM: This move cost no picks. Shed MUCH needed cap space. Allows Edmonton to test drive Stolarz and see if they want to sign him as a backup (as Starrett, Wells and Skinner are not quite ready) for next year. If he sinks, don't resign him. Simple. Look elsewhere. This year's ufa goalies has a plethora of sub average goalies who could fill the role.
For PHI: Talbot was UFA and likely Gone. Phi gets an opportunity to test drive him and see if they want to keep him as a 1A/1B goalie situation. Cost tehm a younger goalie that they were likely not going to sign anyway because of his past injury). If he sinks, don't resign him. Simple. Look elsewhere. This year's ufa goalies has a plethora of sub average goalies who could fill the role.

(EDM/VAN) - Spooner for Gagner
With regards to this trade, I agree, this is a nothing trade.
Coaches preferences were the key contributors in this trade.
Gagner inexplicably fell out of favour with Green (who continues to scratch guys like Goldobin for the likes of players mentioned above.) His (Gagner's) play in the last few seasons was appropriate for a 3rd line (top 9) role in the NHL, and his play in the ahl was top 6.
Translation, Green's an idiot, and him being sent down to the ahl is not reflective of Gagner's true abilities TODAY. Gagner could come into the Oilers system and provide some value in the top 9 immediately. He could provide much of the value that Strome brought to the oilers prior to his departure (trade for Spooner), which was a consistent 3C, with potential limited top 6 minutes as a winger, and very dependable within special teams... or he may not have to foot speed and skill that the Oil needs NOW and simply revert back to the ahl (which means this whole trade is a wash as Spooner would have been buried anyways.)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoraStorm</b></div><div>After more thought, if Gagner was playing for 650K then its an okay trade, but he isn't. He's a Toronto Marlies cast off! Meaning, if Gagner was as good as people said he was, why didn't Toronto Maple Leafs pick him up? He was playing literally minutes away from the Leafs, i think its 8 drive minutes, 20 walking minutes, and if you have a bike it'll probably be quicker, 'cause you won't obey the signs.</div></div>
Obviously you've not updated yourself with his situation. Gagner fell out of favour with the Nucks and they were sitting him out most games until they simply demoted him to the ahl. Out of respect for the player, they allowed him to report to the ahl affiliate of the Leafs (Marlies) so that he could be closer to his wife (who's a doctor in Toronto).
Now with regards to "falling out of favour with the Nucks"... to me this doesn't say much because I continuously see coaches such as Boucher (favours Borowieki, Pyatt, Smith) in Ottawa, Hitch or even McLellan (Manning, Petrovic, Brodziak, Lucic, etc) for Edmonton as well as Green (Roussel, Beagle, Schaller, Gudbranson) in Vancouver continuously prefer to play heavy/grind it out type players reminiscent of 90's and 00's era hockey. These guys are idiots for not adapting to the new style and pace of play in the current nhl and their resulting standings speak volumes.

Where Oh where do you even start
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>The way I see things is that Edmonton is 3-5 years away from having enough homegrown talent to make a difference. So trade what you can but if you have to move a 1st rounder or a top end prospect to move Lucic, (which I think you'll have to do) why not just keep him until you can either buy out the last year of his contract or maybe an opportunity to unload him to a team that needs to reach the cap floor comes around. Who knows maybe he even plays well enough that someone wants him.
One thing you can count on right now though is that he doesn't help you win, which isn't a bad thing, I think Edmonton getting a couple top 5 picks would be huge in rebooting this franchise. They have 2 pieces that are for sure championship calibre players in McDavid and Draisaitl. Hire someone who understands that skill is the #1 asset to draft for (Mark Hunter) and then lose until you have the pieces to surround McDavid with NHL quality players.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>What is the one biggest problem facing the Oilers?
It isn't 1 winger or Lucic, its the fact that after McDavid's line leaves the ice, you are generally hopelessly outgunned. Depth is your issue. You have none of it, McDavid's line regularly outscores the opposition while the other lines often struggle to come out even in a game. One player isn't going to change that. You need 4 or more skilled fast wingers, or 2 more centres who are really good so you can permantently move Draisaitl to the wing to play with McDavid.
.</div></div>
Agreed, but the above scenario clearly delineated that this is a "where do we start" perspective. Ie: trade right now that makes sense, and sets us up with a bit of capspace for this off season where THATS when the real decision making happens.
ABSOLUTELY do we need depth at the wings, and not just one.
But what RIGHT now are you going to trade for it. You've got no assets, and no cap space.
So yes, you start with starting to widdle away the deadwood eating your cap.
Like I said in teh description, you start with Lucic, then you figure out what do do with sekera and all teh expensive Depth D.
