<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>What extension are you giving to Pesce?</div></div>

I'm assuming around the Severson extension? If he doesn't sign, no big deal as I'm viewing him as more of a rental.

With what your GM said, it seems he's listening to every offer. What could Edmonton give up that would cause Philly to accept?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mooner55</b></div><div>That bottom pair is 2 guys who should be in the ECHL. vinny is awful. this team would lose alot because of that pairing. kulak is great guy to hold onto</div></div>

With how good the first 2 pairings are, the 3rd pairing shouldn't get much ice time (14 minutes of time?). Dineen has been quite solid in the AHL though.

I would love to hold onto Kulak but $2.75M for a 3rd pairing guy seems to be a luxury we can't afford.

Thread: Minimum Cup Final

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Winnipeg would require more quality, less cap dumps.</div></div>

There's the equivalent of 3 1sts (one of them being a 8th overall pick), a 2nd, and a decent prospect in there. Demelo and Helle are both on the last years of their contract, while Ehlers has 2 more remaining.

Thread: Trade with MTL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caufield</b></div><div>Wait, so MTL is giving Monty and Anderson with retention for free?</div></div>

Do you not see the 2024 1st

Anderson is a negative value contract, 500k retention or not. He's not as negative as Jack Campbell, which is why the 1st is added.

Not a good deal for Detroit. Edmonton isn't going to get bailed out of their cap issues without overpaying.</div></div>

Would it work if I took out the 3rd/4th and added another prospect from Edmonton's side?

Thread: Erik Karlsson you are an Oiler

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>I mean paying all that for a 32 year old dman who's been hurt so much and still paying him 7.5 million is crazy. Go get Chychrun he'll cost half as much and be cheaper and younger.</div></div>

Getting a Norris level defenseman probably pushes this team over the edge, and I think it's also what McDavid and Draisaitl want based on stuff I've been hearing from the Oilers media since the All-Star break. Chychrun would also work well, but Karlsson is just more exciting. Nothing much to it haha.

Thread: Erik Karlsson you are an Oiler

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>papishark</b></div><div>Sharks seem to want Bouchard back in the deal which makes sense, especially if Benning goes back to you.

Also why do Ceci instead of Poolparty when you want to get rid of him anyways?</div></div>

Bouchard helps the Oilers in the short run though, unlike 1st round picks which are basically meaningless to McDavid and Draisaitl. I would prefer to keep Bouch no matter what.

Also I used Ceci just to make it 2 RHD for 2 RHD, nothing much to it. The deal works with Puljujarvi as well.

Ah yes, our best RHD for a guy with 5 points in 18 AHL games. That sounds like a brilliant idea.

Thread: 21-22 Oilers

Seth Jones is not a good defenseman anymore. In fact, he was one of the worst defensemen in the NHL last season.

Good with McDavid perhaps.

Nurse without McDavid has been brutal this season. Almost at a 40% goal share.

It's to stop overrating players that have had success with McDavid.

Ehlers is the best winger in the north, and arguably a top 5 winger in the league. He's no bum.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>If your making a case for moving nurse after the year he’s had then please change your username it scares the crap out of me.</div></div>

The alternative is giving Nurse $7M-$8M when his stats were zoomed by McDavid all season.

It amazes me how much this fanbase hasn't learned from the Kassian contract.

Thread: My ideal offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Careful reading stats like that your not taking into account he plays 25-30 minutes a night against the toughest competition. Along with Barrie both of them easily provide a lot more positives than negatives.</div></div>

Per PuckIQ, Nurse still has the 2nd worst GA/60 among Oilers defensemen against elite competition.

Barrie: 3.8 GA/60
Nurse: 3.0
Lagesson: 2.6
Larsson: 2.0
Bear: 1.7
Russell: 1.6
Bouchard: 1.4
Caleb Jones: 1.1

More like too many of the same player type. Barrie is just a worse version of Bouchard IMO, and he's blocking his development.
