Thread: Dream Scenario

This is dope, but MTL doesn’t have the cap for Barrie without trading away some cap I believe? And you only have room for 2 scratches which I don’t think works with the NHL schedule, so gotta find another 800-900k in cap space for a 14th F

Thread: Sharks Fans Would You Do This Deal

As an Oilers fan… No. Ruins the depth we are trying to build for a player who is really too expensive, the two 1st red picks also don’t make sense from an oilers standpoint because we don’t need more wingers. If we are giving up 2 firsts EDM needs a stud dman back and San Jose doesn’t have what we are looking for in that category.

Thread: Fixing the Oilers like Lowe did in 06-07

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilfan1717</b></div><div>I don’t hate it. You’ve put the team in a difficult position next re. the cap - too many guys to sign and not enough dollars to go around.

Also, Holloway is at least a year away.</div></div>

Puljuajrvi, McLeod, and Debrusk + Bottom 6 F and a top 6 RHD with 14 million in cap space? I don't think there are too many issues there... at worst it's exactly where they are now.

Also, its hard to say with Holloway because he was solid (I'd argue as good as Caufield) in the NCAA and his game transfers better to the NHL than Caufield because of his size. You're gonna have to replace Yamo somehow (and I think holloway can at least be what yamo was the last few games)

Thread: MTL retool and lottery luck

Price isn't coming to EDM, not unless you're taking a long-term contract back. Barrie instead of Turris than maybe, but that money doesn't work at all (and idk if I'm willing to give up Bourgault)

Thread: Fixing the Oilers like Lowe did in 06-07

Just some notes: Unsure about the Barrie trade, but I feel like some GM will see enough value in him to give up a 3rd liner, which is all I'm looking for. Bos just made sense because it sounds like they want an offensive RHD but idk if Debrusk here makes sense with the other trades I made. Also, I didn't fix goaltending because I feel like if you improve the defence enough that 5v5 attempts are limited, our goaltending will hold.

Thread: How to become a cup contender as legit as possible

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Viqsi</b></div><div>No to any Merzlikins trade unless we're getting overpaid - he's our starter and expansion exempt, so he's particularly valuable to us.
No to anything that involves us taking back Koskinen unless the bribery is absurd.</div></div>
That's fair, I wasn't sure about the Elvis price but honestly, Samrukov is gonna be a legit dman. From what I had seen, it seemed like they decided Korpi was the starter and Elvis sounded like he wanted out when asked how he liked sharing the net with Korpi. Koskinen also can just be bought out, although I don't understand why every fan seems to hate him when his numbers are decent as a backup, on a 1 yr deal, and retained.

Thread: ripping off the bandaid

As an oilers fan, Gallagher is nowhere near worth that. He's good, but a 1st, 3rd, and a top 10 oilers prospect? No way.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jjkhairaELTE99</b></div><div>itd be better to use the 1sts more effectively still. using a first to dump a players almost never plays out well. better to use 2021 1st to grab a goalie and then keep 2022 first. there are better ways to lose cap. also mikko is barely an nhl goalie and with korpisalo being arguably the worst goalie in theleague last year Im sure they would not be comfortable having a koski & korpisalo tandem with a leaky defence. most likley koskinen gets boughtout or stays till expiry and nealgets burried till a buyout next year. it would cost us tomortage as majorpart of ourpipline to get anybody to take neal. Also thelackof cap management heremeans that klef or nurseare gone cause there isnt enough money left</div></div>

Neal will sell jerseys in Seattle, its the same reason vegas took him. I think they would stomach that deal for a couple of pretty damn good prospects and a 1st. Oilers cant just keep thinking about the future and let mcdavid and draisital waste away because they hope a 22nd overall pick turns out in 3-4 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Petey232323</b></div><div>Nuge aint taking that low of a contract
Gledening is terrible
Goalies are far too random to spend a 1st round pick in a stacked draft on</div></div>

Nuge wanted 6.5 at the start of the season (I don't care if they even pay him that this team has 2 mil in cap)
Kharia instead of Glendening is fine too
Elvis is 100% worth it and at some point, the oilers need to stop thinking about the future and give McDavid and Draisital a team to win now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>treemos27</b></div><div>Hyman is an awesome player, but to get him to leave Toronto you probably need to offer at least 6-7 million.
He isn't leaving Toronto for 5.5, Leafs would match or offer an extra year.</div></div>

Tatar also is a viable option for 1LW, he's acting like he knows his time in MTL is up. Hyman is just my #1 choice. I think there are 2 or 3 different players that also could work in that spot for around the same or less money

Thread: How to become a cup contender as legit as possible

Would just like to point out that this does mean Klefbomb is traded or Nurse walks at the end of the season (Puljujarvi, Bear, and Jones all need contracts)... either is replaced by Broberg and I think the team is still fine.

Even if he makes 750k more the team still works. This has 2 mil in cap space and nuge apparently wanted 6.5 at the start of the season.

This year is a weak draft, and the other first-rounder is gaining an asset. Elvis is a legit starter. Koski won't be that hard to move on the same contract for 1 year to a struggling team. He's basically money to make the deal work.

That plus nuge needs an extension next year as well and he's probably deserving of a raise

That trade was just to get rid of Gagner's contract to a team who can take it. It doesn't have to be for picks and also doesn't have to be columbus
