if you look it’s only a 20 man roster, so between the players sent down and trading ceci, the money in for the most part is equivalent to money out

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>That doesn’t get Chychrun not even close</div></div>

it probably does. chychrun last year at the height of his value got a 1st and 2 2nds, since then his value has dropped a somewhat substantially. that mixed with the fact ottawa is without any clear direction or identity right now means any real value a player may have isn’t gonna get that return

that’s fair, a month or so ago i would’ve laughed at a brown/jospeh trade on here.

only reason i brought it up was the fact even though money is basically the same the overall cap hit for brown is low enough that ottawa would then have some cap space

that’s fair, my thinking was columbus would be able to garner a bigger return from edmonton if they took back ceci as well then in theory be able to flip him for a return of some kind as opposed to the oilers who due to their well known cap restraints would likely have to pay to move him (i am a firm believer though that he does have value just none in an oilers trade due to their cap issues)

Thread: Weaponzing Cap

Oilers trade is terrible. Despite what people on this site may think, Barrie has value. We have seen season after season of teams overpaying for skilled right shot offensive-defenders. Im not saying hes worth a lot but he could 100% fetch a couple mid-round picks.

Kassian on the other hand is likely a dump since hes lost his edge since signing the new contract, but he isnt that big of a dump that a 1st and savoie would be what it takes to get rid of him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>Except they are worse when they are trying to be a contender</div></div>

let me rephrase it then. this allows them to do other moves right now. gives them a backup who comes off the books after this season, frees up 2M-ish in cap space to all for them to add better players & gives them a 2nd which is a relatively valuable asset that they can use at the tdl.

sometimes moves, even when you’re trying to contend have to drastically improve your team. sometimes they are just pre-moves to allow for other things to take place

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>That TOR trade will never happen from TOs side. Koskinen worthless, lagessen the AHL version of Dermott.</div></div>

it frees up roughly 2M in cap space immediately with an extra 4.5M coming off at the end of the season. they also receive a second which can be used in another trade and a young/cheap depth defender incase of injuries. lastly it gets them out of Mrazeks contract which helps resign Campbell

Thread: improvements

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>I've asked this a lot but haven't really gotten a good answer, why would any team want to spend assets on Barrie for the next two seasons? Second assist heavy, his numbers plummet when he's not on the ice with McDavid and essentially a PP specialist at this point. His value is by far the highest it will ever be in Edmonton but it would be way lower if he were playing anywhere else.</div></div>

he is a pp specialist and his only upside is his offensive ability, you nailed it. but (despite what some may think) Barrie is and has been a very consistent and skilled offensive defender for the vast majority of his career and there are a number of teams out there who lack puck moving defenders and/or a defender to run their pp for them.

teams are not gonna pay for him to be a shutdown defender, because that’s not what he is. of they give him sheltered minutes on the third pair and run him as a pp specialist he will likely thrive. especially if it’s a place where he’s needed and put into a position to thrive

throughout his career, Barrie is 0.64ppg which is pretty darn good for somebody you describe as a “terrible offensive defender”

that’s fair, i didn’t even think about system and that you can’t just place Tyson Barrie on any team for him to succeed. i was looking at just pure numbers and (granted it’s a different team & system) Barrie would be second on the isles in points, and after Dobson the second highest scoring defender has 5 points

the Isles have the fewest goals in the entire league and have an incredibly mediocre PP. the trade gives them one of the leagues top offensive defenders (despite what the big brains on here say)

in theory yes tampa won’t get full value for their wingers, but there’ll be plenty of teams in edmonton’s position who need to upgrade their wings and it’ll start a bidding war for them.

edmonton needs to go all in now, they have a number of solid prospects developing so the team needs to upgrade now to take full advantage of their cup winning window with McDavid and Draisaitl in their primes.

better to overpay in mock teams than underpay
