Thread: Trade for Eichel Tank for Wright

it isnt worth a 3rd round pick to clear 500K for a year.. oilers pass.
also probably see eichel demanding a trade as soon as he is announced as a senator

Thread: Best Roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Why does everyone seem more willing to throw benson to the wind rather than play him see what he can do? High end second round home town boy that had he not had questionable health concerns easily would have gone much higher. He overcame the injury worries he’s been seasoned in the ahl and has been very dominate at that level just doesn’t make sense to me. Throwing in another second rounder on top of that seems like a very very high price to pay for I’m not even sure is an improvement. Aside from that wasn’t there reports suggesting while he was a ufa he would only sign with an American team?</div></div>

Agreed - the Oilers need to see what they've got in Benson.

Thread: Mantha trade TDL ideas

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VijayPatel11</b></div><div>how do you know that?</div></div>

Because the organization has pissed and moaned about not having a puck-moving RHD since they dumped Petry for pennies on the dollar. Bouchard can be moved, but only for the right players, and there's probably only a dozen I'd trade him for right now.

The Edmonton deal is far too rich for the Oilers to consider. Neither Bouchard or Puljujarvi should be looked at as tradable assets for a name equivalent to Mantha. The Oilers likely pass on that pretty easily.

It’s great that Kreuger is fired but Kevyn Adams is still the GM and he’s just as responsible for this

For that return the Oilers would be asking for Meier not Labanc. You are over valuing Labanc tremendously

That's a waste of cap for Perrault and Elder. How do those two guys make more than Hyman, who likely doesn't leave Toronto for personal reasons

Thread: Deadline

Barrie is the only one I could see a real market for that the oilers could entertain moving. Since trying to win priority would be immediate help elsewhere on roster. 3c would be direction I’d personally be looking at improving.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Foppa21</b></div><div>Avs are in win-now mode. This doesn't help them in the slightest.</div></div>

I'm not sure I agree. Samorukov is ready to step into the NHL next September, is millions cheaper than Graves and is probably as good or better. I think this trade is a loss for the Oilers, both immediately and in the future.

Easy NOPE from the Oilers. They don't need another 3rd pairing type who can't defend.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>He will be close to that for sure</div></div>

8,5 IMO. As good as his offensive instincts are, he's not an elite defensive player. Certainly above average but not insanely good.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>Perry to replace chiasson is kind of a lateral move.</div></div>

Nope, I'd rather have Chiasson. Thirty-three goals over the past 2 seasons vs 11 for Perry. Much better hands for net-front play and Perry has really slowed down recently.

Thread: A New Laine Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>Laine has never scored 50 Goals. He is about a 35 goal winger 60-70 points.</div></div>

I stand corrected. He scored 44 goals as a rookie. He's probably capable of scoring 50 though in his prime if he's given 1st line linemates and PP1 time on the dot.

Whatever the case, Caufield and a 3rd don't come anywhere near what a 40+ goalscorer costs, albeit a one-dimensional one.

Thread: Khaira out Ryan in

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Pretty sure they can. In fact, that's why I made this AGM - to see if it was possible.

Ryan is 100% better than Haas and he's a sure thing compared with McLeod. IMO McLeod grabbing a spot with both hands is the only reason not to claim Ryan.</div></div>

I'm not arguing whether its financially feasible. Im saying its not a smart way to spend $3M. Paying your 4C that much as opposed to the minimum that Shore, Haas, and McLeod doesn't make sense. Yes, he'd probably be a slight upgrade over those guys, but paying him that can be a huge obstacle in making a trade at the deadline.

Also why did Calgary cut him? Maybe he had a poor offseason and If he's not good enough to make them, why would we want him? Obviously he's regressed in Calgary.

Ultimately I don't think his potentially marginal increase in defensive capabilities over a guy like Shore is worth how his contract could impact improving the team down the line.

Also a very minor addition, but I wouldn't want to help Calgary clear cap space or take a problem off their hands if it doesn't have a clear benefit.

Thread: Dubois

As good as PLD is does it make any sense at all to target him from an oilers perspective? I’m not sure there is a team that makes less sense. We have 3 top six centres 2 of which are top 5 in the world then have a guy like nuge that is a top line centre around half the league. I just don’t see any sense in targeting him.
