Thread: its a start
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilednGreasy</b></div><div>Travis Konecny was drafted 24th overall, Xavier Bourgault drafted 22nd, so an A level right. Let me show you Zach Hyman who played with McDavid mostly on % compared to Kailer Yamamoto mostly with Draisaitl, <a href="https://www.naturalstattrick.com/playercompare.php?fromseason=20222023&amp;thruseason=20222023&amp;stype=2&amp;sit=5v5&amp;score=all&amp;stdoi=oi&amp;rate=y&amp;p1=8479977&amp;p2=8475786&amp;loc=B&amp;gpfilt=none&amp;fd=&amp;td=&amp;tgp=410&amp;lines=single" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Hyman vs Yamamoto</a>. Could still be considered a 2nd line winger at only 24 I think, if given the right opportunity on the right team, 1st and 2nd round picks like I said. Eichel level trade.
You gotta remember that it was known that Eichel wanted to leave to everyone at the time also, and that was the best offer from a team he wanted to play on probably.</div></div>

Exactly, it was known Eichel wanted out and he was injured with a neck injury that they surgery he wanted had never been performed on an NHL player. He was always going to get less than market value. I'm confused by the comparison between Hyman and Yamamoto are you just trying to show they have similar numbers? I think the big difference in opinion is value of Yamamoto. That said I know Holloway you said is needed would TK 50% retained for Holloway, 1st, 2nd, 2nd Ceci do it? I'm not against Bourgault but feel like it would follow the structure you said earlier.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilednGreasy</b></div><div>Oilers aren't adding anything to move Yamamoto. If no teams want him he can be waived to cost $1,950,000, and if teams still don't want him after he could then be sent down at any point of the season without going through waivers the Oilers can buy him out for $433,334 next season and $533,334 in 24/25. Yamamoto is not near as bad as people are trying to make him out to be too. Oilers fans and media love to chase players out of town, see: Jordan Eberle.

Oilers need to be better defensively. Edmonton's best offence in the league doesn't really need Konecny, but I could see it as Philly wants to do him a solid while he's in his prime and they're rebuilding with the understanding that they want him back when he's a UFA. This is if TK thinks he's got a chance to win in EDM. The Oilers will not be able to sign him, Draisaitl's contract is up at the same time.

It's been reported that the Flyers head european scout from Sweden may like Broberg, but...

I believe the best Philly could hope for from the Oilers after retaining 1/2 of TK's contract is receiving Broberg or Bourgault, Yamamoto, 1st and a 2nd in return. Holloway is needed now and I think unavailable.</div></div>

I don't think he's a bad player just not worth the money. In this you're replacing Yamamoto's money for 400k more and more production. Adding TK next Mcdavid or Draisaitl I could easily see him being an 85+ point guy. I don't think it's about doing the player a solid I think there's a fit in EDM for a scoring winger with speed and tenacity. Would I hate the trade being around Broberg? No but I think a winger makes more sense in return. Even if Yamamoto make it though waivers that's still money and a contract spot that could be put to use elsewhere.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>I think OP has it so that the Cap can work. The main pieces for Philly are the 3 extremely young and high quality prospects/picks.

I think it's a massive overpay for a .904 career average goalie. That's 3 first round level pieces and a really serviceable top-6 player for someone who hasn't lived up to expectations, regardless of how bad the defense was in front of him. Korpisalo last year had a worse defense in front of him and put up a 0.913. Even if there is a 2nd coming back, it's still pushed a year down the road.

No thanks for LA.</div></div>

I get it's for cap purposes but that doesn't mean it make's sense to take the contract. Like you said in your other comment we already have a Kupari type prospect in Desnoyers and whenever Gauthier is ready and is playing center we have Cates to slot into that role. Kaliyev is someone who I've like and wish the flyers took in that draft so he's of interest. In this scenario while Arvidsson has value he would be viewed as a cap dump cause of length of contract.

As far as Hart goes, his career save percentage is as low as it is because of one abysmal season weighing it down. It's also not as bad as you have it sure it's not much better but .906 is what it is. He was top 15 in GSAx this season while playing 55 games behind a terrible defense, 16 more games played than Korpi. Another factor in expecting a larger return is that goalies that are 24 and have 200 games played don't exist, most are just starting to play at his age. If he's on a remotely solid defensive team no doubt in my mind he's a top tier goalie.
