Thread: IF you want to include Drai in Mock Trades
Serious question here, why would the Oiler not deal with any team? Even if moved within the division the return on Drai would outweigh the sting of moving him to a rival. Imagine Holland not listening to offers from Vancouver when they would have to offer up someone like Hughes or EP (not happening btw just an example) you are lucky you aren't a GM with that mindset cause if you were you would be fired pretty quickly, it doesn't matter what team makes the best offer, as a GM you take it and don't say no cause you are a divisional rival. That's like saying no I won't trade my lambo for your Ferrari + Cadillac + Lexus + BMW cause you live across the street and I would have to see you drive it everyday, like give your head a shake buddy!

Also the teams you listed as not having the assets, actually do have the assets. Montreal <strong>could</strong> but probably wouldn't offer Suzuki + Caufield and that is a package the Oilers would take, you are seriously over valuing Draisaitl by a lot if you think teams like Buffalo would have to add to Dahlin + Thompson. You are too emotionally attached to be realistic IMO

Thread: Doing the isles as a rangers fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Raty’s production overseas is fantastic. Wally has a lot of room to grow even if he isn’t a top line guy.</div></div>

I know. And I like them both a lot as players. But when I consider what CHI's front office has said over and over that they are looking for, those two have skill but they don't have the skating, pace, or motor for what Davidson is trying to build. And looking through the NYI's roster and prospect pool I just don't see much that matches that. It's something that can maybe be developed, but when you are that far behind in a certain area like skating it's hard to see them really developing that any more than becoming an average skater at best. But then again maybe CHI would value their skillsets enough to pull the trigger and plan on getting the speed/pace/motor from other positions and hope the skill guys can keep up enough to jump in the play when the speed guys take over.

Thread: Cat to the Sens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>Would much rather keep an Zaitsev dump separate. Pinto, Greig, 7th oa plus next years first looks absolutely terrible at face value.

Side note, Murphy's owed almost 11m over the next two years in real money. Even with Melnyk gone I dont think thats a contract that Dorion would prioritize.</div></div>

It's not terrible at face value when you consider Zaits being a dump and Murphy a big upgrade over Zaits. It makes a lot of sense for both teams. With that new roster, Ottawa has a very good shot at making the playoffs. Hawks just aren't going to move Cat for the kind of package offered in this AGM in my opinion keeping in mind how weak the 1st round looks this year and RHD is the one area the Hawks look okay with.
