Thread: Well alot of guys are gone so lets try some new people

I like it, probably add a 4th to the Oleksiak trade as well

Thread: This is what Ken Hollands waiting for

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Petey232323</b></div><div>oh.</div></div>

I was excited to see the Ducks logo, and then I saw the trade

Thread: Oilers at the deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>"Conjested RHD??" You can't have too many competent Dman (not saying Barrie is one). But geez the Oilers might have 4 RHDs...but how many are playing NHL good?</div></div>

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

Thread: Mikko Koskinen is not a cap dump

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Morons</b></div><div>LoL

Boom</div></div>

Yeah because Thomas Greiss has been excelling with his 0.882 SV% this season

Thread: Imagine

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>Wow, those are really bad trades!! The worst GM/Franchise with all this</div></div>

I think he just want to see the roster if the Sabres were good at drafting

Thread: John Gibson

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PrimeDatsyuk</b></div><div>what kind of package is that for arguably the best goalie in the league atm??</div></div>

Former 8th overall pick, former 38th overall pick, 1st round pick, and some players to keep cap equal

Thread: Contenders

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>This team doesn’t seem any better than the current.</div></div>

It's basically the current team but with Tatar, Coleman, and Klefbom in, and Turris, Shore, and Russell out

Thread: If they wanna make the playoffs take 2

I like it all except the Nuge trade, Nuge is clear of Dumba

Thread: Salvaging our season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vinnylou</b></div><div>Wait for 2 weeks for our players to show up 😂😂🤣🤣</div></div>

We don't play any games in like the first week of February, so they'll only have to miss 1 week.

Or we could continue what we've been doing, keep losing, and then McDavid will request a trade

Forum: Armchair-GMJan 29 at 12:05

Thread: McDavid to the Large GrannySmith

Rangers need to add more picks, Columbus trade makes no sense (Korpisalo is a backup)

Thread: Dunn trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jetman</b></div><div>Haha...that's why they want to trade him...</div></div>

his on-ice stats are good, but apparently too many giveaways in a 6 game sample size, big brain from St. Louis

Thread: Dunn to EDM

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>I’m not sure what more expect of larsson. He’s just among league leaders in hits and block shots that sounds exactly like the type of d this team could use...</div></div>

hits and blocked shots =/= good at defense

It just means the puck is in the defensive end/on the opponent's stick a lot

Forum: Armchair-GMJan 27 at 6:17

Thread: Dunn trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jetman</b></div><div>All of Canada would love it if you traded Larsson for Dunn....EDM then has two players(Barrie and Dunn) who is all offence and no defence...until their offense dries up too</div></div>

Ah but more offense can also improve our defense

Currently, Larsson cannot move the puck at all. So the puck is always in our zone when he's on the ice, and there's a higher chance of it ending up in the back of our net.
With Dunn (who is an excellent puck mover), the puck stays in the offensive zone for most of the time, where there's a lower chance of it ending up in the back of the net unless the net is empty.

Sometimes the better defensive player can be the one who doesn't play defense because he doesn't need to.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan 27 at 6:13

Thread: Why arent these our lines

imo, Kyle Turris and Khaira need to be scratched. Play McLeod and Shore.

Bouchard over Larsson as well, other than that looks good

Forum: Armchair-GMJan 27 at 6:11

Thread: Oilers 2021 Offseason

Andersen is not a significant upgrade over Koskinen to justify paying him 1.5M more. Other than that, looks good.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan 27 at 6:02

Thread: Dunn to EDM

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Maybe other fans would be into that but I have no desire to see larsson moved highly value him.</div></div>

He's making 4M and he has clearly fallen off due to injuries. I doubt he has positive value anymore

Thread: Dunn to EDM

I would accept.

Thread: Oilers trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>We aren’t in the position to be throwing first round picks.</div></div>

We need players that can play now, not players that might be ready in 2-3 years. The 2021 draft is an extremely weak draft. McDavid and Draisaitl need all the defensive help they can get to win games in the present. The Oilers are not a rebuilding team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Of course - he's massively sheltered. I doubt he's better than Jones and he's a year older and twice the price.</div></div>

His numbers were great against elite competition
73.9 GF% and 50 CF%

Thread: Solving the 3rd line brutal problem

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Copenhagen</b></div><div>Baertschi is there until Ennis gets back into the line up and I am sure he is better than Chaisson anyways. A water cooler is better than Chaisson</div></div>

Unfortunately, Baerschi is not better than Chiasson. He's an AHLer. And look at his cap hit, way too high.

Thread: Solving the 3rd line brutal problem

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Do you seriously think adding a minor-leaguer and a 3rd pairing D who can't defend will solve the defensive woes in the Oilers bottom 6?</div></div>

Dunn is great by the analytics. Baertschi made no sense tho lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>InTreWeTrust</b></div><div>They don’t- trading an Allstar backup for a 4th liner is just dumb. Move makes absolutely 0 sense</div></div>

i agree but rittich really fell off, just because he made the all star team doesnt mean he is now an all star goalie

Thread: we need a goalie

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>When is smith expected back? Unless making a trade with a Canadian team quarantine becomes a factor to consider. The next two weeks is primary concern bringing in anyone south of the boarder does nothing but give a cap hit sleeping in hotel room.... it’s obviously not ideal situation but it’s just forcing tip to do what we all wanted to ride Kosk more. Unless more news comes out about smith I say just sit tight if can find another taxi goalie on waivers great. The options to fix current situation is EXTREMELY limited to within division anything else is weeks away</div></div>

the problem is that mike smith is awful, so even if he was healthy, we still need to replace him.
I was thinking Charlie Lindgren as backup for 2 weeks until Raanta arrives

3rd goalie if one of Koskinen/Raanta gets injured

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SociallyHawkward</b></div><div>PLD > RNH</div></div>

Right now, no. RNH is much better defensively. Maybe PLD has potential so I added Lavoie and a 3rd
