Thread: Nobody is really losing

I'm intrigued by the Domi for Nurse trade.

Thread: Stop Yammer time

I'm curious if the Oiler's are trying to showcase some younger players for potential trades. Feels like a few rumors are swirling and the Oiler's are in need of getting some life injected into the lineup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>So that's an expensive price tag for 3 depth players EDM could have for free come July 01. Oilers need Top 6 wingers that's it, if your trading the 2020 1st and Larsson surely they can get a true top 6 winger</div></div>

Hard to argue against Pageau as a top 6 player this season. 29pts in 39gp and an impressive +21 on a very bad Senators team. I think I'd be interested in acquiring him.

This was just to illustrate how far off the Oilers would be from signing nurse and hall if they decided to ho that route.

Thread: A thought

Cap for next season would be real bad. 17-20M to sign 13 players. That includes Nurse and four other defensemen.

Thread: Laine or Connor

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>alwaysnextyear</b></div><div>I like Nurse a lot, but Russell is just a bad player on a bad contract. Not close IMO</div></div>

Edmonton would have to trade out some contracts in order to take on Laine or Connor. Russell contract is real bad and probably a deal killer but maybe the Jets could use him after losing Myers and Byfuglien?

Thread: Laine or Connor

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jack_</b></div><div>not even close. both laine and connor are better then RNH, i cant imagine you would trade RNH for a #4 defenseman and a bad contract</div></div>

Nurse would be the Jets best defender with Byfuglien out. Not ideal with him being a left hand shot but other than that I can't see the Jets not valuing Nurse. I think the Oiler's would absolutely need to add something else to make this trade work but I'm not sure what. Jets seem like a team that is going to hold a grudge with Laine so I would at least be phoning to see what exactly they wanted.

Yes, it is wrong to be excited about Neal. At best he's a good addition to a PP that really needs a shooter. Worst case, he's 2018-19 Jame Neal.

Thread: Penguins Fans Ottawa Fans

I think whoever signs Brassard is getting a bad deal. He had a terrible season last year and I feel like he's not worth a $3M price tag. If you can sign him for half that I'd listen.

Something like Gagner plus a 5th/6th for a 7th somewhere might work. Not losing a ton but getting out of the contract for the season would be a plus especially with Holland exclusively signing dumpster forwards in free agency.

I think there might be something there on the Bjugstad idea. Pretty bad season for Bjugstad last year, contract isn't looking great right now but should at least be able to fill a hole on the third line for the next two years. Has some plus side that could elevate him to the second line and Puljujarvi might be worth the gamble for Pittsburgh.

Thread: 2 moves

Not sure I'm on board with the Sissons trade. A young defensemen with over 200 NHL games and positive stats on a defensively terrible team for a good third line player alone would be a bad trade. On top of that you've added half of Bakersfields top pairing and a draft pick. Sissons would be nice but not at that price.

Thread: What I Will Dream of Tonight

I think I saw somewhere that Haas was an $800k deal. Could be wrong on that but might give the lineup a little bit more flexibility for any recalls.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>There's also the other trade option with Toronto: instead of Brown for Benning, Nazem Kadri for Adam Larsson. Then your two lines could be RNH-McDavid-Kassian and Draisaitl-Kadri-Puljujarvi.</div></div>

That would leave Kris Russell as our opening night 1RD, I really hope we don't turn into a charity for the Maple Leafs.

Two roster players and moving back 9 spots in the draft in exchange for moving up 9 spots and some much needed cap relief for Vegas.

I'm not confident trading Russell, Sekera, or Lucic is very feasible right now. The contracts are bad and I don't think the players are very enticing to other teams. Looking for some solutions without relying on cap relief might be the only option this season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluetomorrow83</b></div><div>If Colin Miller is moved will be interesting to see what the actually return is people swing from first round picks and prospects to the TML fan earlier that showed a 5th and 6th rounder lol

Your value slightly above mine I think something like Bear+2nd and 3rd for both. Bear+3rd and 5th for Miller? That #8 pick would be my Nuge insurance player in 2-3 years if Nuge leaves that player can step into top 6 role</div></div>

Not really my valuation, I just saw Vegas as a potential first round pick swap partner. I think the Oilers should aim to keep the pick but if they want to trade back, I think there will be some options.

Highly doubt it but I feel like even adding someone like Nyquist via free agency would be a gamechanger for the forward group. Hopefully Nygard cracks the roster and earns some time in the top 6, he seems like an amazing gamble for the Oilers and could be a long term solution.

Thread: New oilers

I'm still not sure why everyone is convinced we should chase after Connor Brown. He's a marginal upgrade over Khaira for probably at least double the salary.

Thread: Trade Plus Depth Scoring

I still have a hard time believing we get anything back in a Kris Russell trade, I hope I'm wrong on that account but just a feeling I have.

I think Pirri will have better offers than $1M for next season. He showed some great upside, tore up the AHL and was on pace for 45~ points in the NHL. I think he's a good target in the offseason but I don't feel like $1M gets it done.

Pretty good overall. Top 6 is improved, salary cap is slightly improved, a backup who probably ends up being the starter and opened the way for our defensive prospects to move into the NHL.
