We Are Winning The Cup Again
Amazing roster. When Vegas adds Buchnevich or Guentzel I'd argue is one of the best teams on paper in the last decade. Center depth is the best in the league. Defends, Goal-tending, Physicality, Leadership, Compete. They have it all.

Good point with him not having a NTC/NMC. Will be interesting if he is being traded and what the return will be. His skill set is what could take the Oilers over the edge this year. He has more ESG than 97 or 29.

No doubt he is a very good defensive player. If he is elite or not is subjective and I personally don't think so. But that doesn't matter anyways. If any GM is willing to pay a 1st for Dowd than I am fine with that as long as it isn't Holland. I see Dowd being valued at the level of a 3rd maybe a 2nd including retention.

Crazy world in which a 33 year old guy who never played a full NHL season in his life, never had more than 25 points and isn't elite in any particular area of the game should be worth a 1st round pick.

Haha. What a game against the Sharks.
On the first goal of the Sharks you can see what happens if players don't understand what they are doing defensively. Holloway and Drai not up to speed with this coverage system. Skinner is who he is. He will only save the obvious ones, when he is performing normally. The goals today weren't his fault imo.
97 and 29 seem to lose confidence. 97 wants to force the goals but cannot make it happen. Drai, my favorite player and fellow German, seems off. Out-shooting is a good start, but shooting for the sake of shooting won't make a difference if the shots are not placed well. Badly placed shots only increase confidence of opposing goalies. This is basically what happened almost every game this season.
I feel that there is a lack of grit. The Ritchies can deliver grit. In some phases of a game or the season you need players who go where it hurts and let the opposition feel that they will do what it takes. I miss that from this team. Looking at the roster I cannot point to many who can deliver that and a team that wants to win usually needs more than 3-4 players of that character.

The team needs a fresh start.
Offense is talented. Depth scoring is not the problem at the moment and shouldn't be an issue for this team in the regular season. In the post-season is when you need reliable depth scoring. With 97 and 29 you should have enough fire power when they perform as they did last regular season.
Defense was not elite last year and now falls off a cliff. The question is why? Is it simply not enough effort? Maybe it's the new defensive system that the players don't seem to understand (including the offensive players).
Goalkeeping is mind-bendingly bad this year. But I have to say that if goalie tandems are equally performing bad, there is usually a problem with the defense. I believe that this is the case. The difference between Campbell/Skinner and Hellebuyck or Shesterkin or Sorokin or Saros is that the latter play behind a generally solid defense.
It's a pity that Woodcroft identified the problem of last year but unfortunately his actions to improve backfired.
For me the solution is easy. Fire Woodcroft, even though I like him, to send a message and hope that the next coach establishes a game based on strong defensive prowess combined with inspired offense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>Holland should definitely waive Brown, but I highly doubt he will. Lavoie should just be called up before signing Ritchie, but I wouldn’t mind Jesse at league min. Might as well see what he can do with no pressure on him.

I was thinking about calling up Lavoie too, but the risk of him coming in and having no impact is too high. If he is called up he needs to make an impact or his time as an Oiler is over, I think. I can see him on a scoring line with 29 or 97. But he is the wrong guy, if you are looking for defensive prowess on NHL level.

I believe Stepan is on KH's radar, He has to be. Shouldn't be too expensive. Wins faceoffs. Shoots right.
I am not sure if Malgin and Foote would be available at this price tag, but I am guessing that the Oilers will get another RHD and RHF.
Just noted that I forgot to switch Broberg and Ekholm, but you get it. Broberg can learn on the side of his fellow Swede.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gronk9911</b></div><div>Where are they down grading the defence?
Ken Holland would make that deal immediately, without hesitation.
Broberg is not taking anyone’s position on defence, that’s a fact. He might get 40-50 games but he’s unlikely to move anyone out.
Oilers problem is 5v5 scoring.</div></div>
I surely hope that interest in TK isn't that strong. Oilers fail again and again because defense is not elite. I agree that 5v5 scoring can be improved but they have bigger weaknesses that need to be addressed first. I'd rather give up the 1st for a RHD.

If McLeod signs 3x1 I don't see why he wouldn't do that in Edmonton. Also Grzelcyk is a LHD. Oilers need RHD.

Really going all in
I am an Oilers fan but I cannot see any scenario in which the Canes trade Pesce to the Oilers. Oilers can only offer a worse RHD in Ceci or picks and prospects that don't help the Canes become better now. If the Canes trade Pesce it is because he decided and made it clear to mgmt that he doesn't want to re-sign. In that case I'd still prefer keeping one of the best Ds at this price as long as I can and try to win the cup with him this season. If they are dropping out of the race they can still sell Pesce at the deadline and collect picks, prospects and maybe even a RHD that can replace Pesce next season. At least that is what I'd do.

I agree. If Hurricanes want to be contenders Oilers don't have much to offer as they are contenders themselves. Trade only happens if Pesce wants to move on next season and even than they could still sell him at the deadline if they are out of the race and/or can get a replacement.

I chose WSH as target because I felt that he could fit in the room with Milano, Strome, etc. I recon he could be traded to many other teams for future considerations. The 3rd might be too high.
