Thread: Giroux to the Oilers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilersfan150</b></div><div>Seattle needs offense and Barrie is an OFD so they would see some value in him and the 3rd round pick is an extra sweetener to get them to accept the trade.

As for the Pulijarvi contract, he won't get much due to his lack of playoff production if he resigns with the oilers a short-term one or two-year deal with a low cap hit will be what he gets.

Same for Ville Husso good regular season but lackluster playoffs and he is an unproven goaltender who has only had one good season.</div></div>

Seattle has clearly shown they value cap flexibility. Trading one season of Soucy who's underpaid, for multiple seasons of Barrie who's overpaid is a bad deal even with a third round pick attached. I don't see them doing it. Barrie adds empty calorie offence, Seattle is not built like that at all.

Pulujarvi is signing an offersheet if that's all you want to give him and he'll be much happier.

Husso is a top UFA target for multiple teams. He's not giving Edmonton a deal.

Thread: Miller Domi Fleury
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>They also get Schenn and a 3rd here. Which is not neglegible either. It is a big ask but at the Deadline I don't see it changing much to be honest.

Roster player who can play now, 1st round pick. top prospect + another prospect or pick is usually what those guys command at the deadline. My offer is that however its two top prospects (one of which whose value has declined a bit) but we get Schenn and a 3rd as well.</div></div>

Whose value has declined? You can't mean Robertson after the year he had in the AHL right?

Schenn is a 3rd pair D, they are a dime a dozen, and a 3rd is not much. The deal is still bad for Toronto. And the ask ABSOLUTELY changes at the deadline, because a) you won't need retention and b) you get less of the player, so you give up less to get him. No rental has EVER gotten such a package. So the Leafs would go in another direction here or wait it out. They don't NEED to upgrade 2LW in the offseason if they don't find value.
