Thread: Strength Thru Oi!ers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FullSend</b></div><div>Signing what looks like a career AHL player in Patrick Russell to 1.2 mill lol, what is going on here..

I’ve been wanting to trade Strome, or resign him near 2 mill.

I don’t want Benning on this team and would rather have him traded than resigned. Took so many steps back in development, just looks so inconsistent defensively, so many bad moves.

That Cagguila deal isn’t bad, maybe 1.3 mill for 3 years, it isn’t bad.</div></div>

If we sign Cagguila to a two-way deal then sure. In my opinion, he's a really good AHL player/13 forward at least at the moment. Maybe, if we sent him down for a bit he could develop more, I cant handle watching him and his stone hands get endless chances playing on the top line. Haha Needless to say not the biggest Cagguila fan.

Thread: My Karlson trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SmartGM</b></div><div>Eugene Melnyk is more concerned about his money don't look at the players here look at the money saving. Weber next year will be paid 6 millions or less starting next year. In Byron you get an Ottawa native that scores more points than Bobby Ryan for 5 millions less. I agree it can be tweaked but you get the picture.</div></div>

While I understand and completely agree that Eugene is the worst, it still doesn't seem realistic to me. Maybe realistic isn't the right term because it's the NHL. But Ottawa just doesn't have to take back that amount of money in the trade because there are teams that would offer better cheaper options to both players. Trading Bobby Ryan is going to be tough and personally I think it's stupid they are weighing down Karlsson's trade value by including Ryan.

Thread: karlsson to oilers blockbuster
There's no way Ottawa does this, Karlsson is maybe the 3rd best player in the league. The value just isn't there even with this year 1st rounder unless its first overall but I don't see why they want Larsson. Also, I don't think the Oilers could or would do it at the moment that trade would have to be in the off-season, right now it would just mess up their chances at the top of the draft and their going to want a chance to re-sign him so they'd have to trade salary especially with Nurse, Puljarrvi coming up soon but they don't have that many trade-able assets Lucic and Russell are pretty much untradable. As much as I'd love Karlsson the Oilers can't get him without trading one of or both of Lucic and Russell to a different team because the Sens don't want to take on salary and they then'd probably have to include those assets if it wasn't the Oilers that had to give up the assets to get the money off of the books and probably also take back Bobby Ryan, in that case I'd love to see a trade at the draft that looks like (Karlsson, Hoffman, Ryan, a 5th) for (Drai, Kelfbom, Kailer, 2019 1st, 2018nd)
