Thread: Pesce and Hellebuyck
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>The oilers arent getting pesce. Like 14 dollars of cap space and 1 and 1/3 trade assets left. Itd be more worthwhile for the canes to just run it back one more time than trade for what will be 27th overall or something plus Cody Ceci of all players.</div></div>

Broberg is great prospect and can turn out well. Ceci could thrive in the canes system if deployed correctly. The first round pick will turn into solid prospect if the canes play their cards right. Not to mention the second round pick is in the deepest draft in years so the canes could get a real gem. However if they do ultimately decide to keep pesce over trading him for picks and prospects that would understandable as they have a solid chance at a cup next year. However I believe this trade i have made here is a realistic return for pesce considering his expiring contract.

Thread: Pesce and Hellebuyck
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gronk9911</b></div><div>Ask yourself this, If I’m the Jets do I want Campbell? The answer is absolutely not.

If your the Oilers and you want Hellebuyck do you need Skinner? The answer is no.


So, I’ll help you out with what you already know, any trade for Hellebuyck doesn’t start until the name Skinner is attached.

The Jets don’t give a crap about the Oilers cap space, you want Hellebuyck, that’s the start. Also, the other pieces involved gets you kicked out of the conversation as well.
Picks are fine, but players &amp; prospects are not getting it done.

Meanwhile, that’s a huge overpay for a player (Pesce) in his last year of a contract, I’d clarify that as a trade and sign.

Not to keep picking on you, nobody is retaining salary.</div></div>

- Your first point, do Jets want Campbell? If the appropriate compensation is provided I believe they will be willing to take him. I believe that i have provided that here with the draft capital and solid prospects in the trade.

- if i am the oilers i easily keep skinner while also trading for hellebuyck. Having two solid goaltenders is crucial for success. So skinner is staying.

- i fail to see how u believe picks are fine but prospects aren’t. If anything prospects are superior than picks because the team is trading for a already known established young talent who has a higher chance of panning out down the line than a draft pick which could end up being anything from a bust to a gem.

- As for salary retention on both trades if the jets and canes want to maximize the value they receive by retaining on these expiring deals, it would be worth there while.

- As for the price on pesce. It will be competitive to acquire him. Good teams make big moves to improve now and if it means paying that price for a top pairing d man then go for it. His contract expiring can be a concern when we get to the 2024 offseason rn the oilers must look to go for the cup in 2023-2024 season.

Thread: oilers offseason 23-24
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gary_gobbler</b></div><div>ek65 with literally no defensive abilities, and we overpay severson, would rather overpay konecny than either of those</div></div>

EK literally put up 100 points on a garbage team as a defender! While maybe his defending may not be the best he knows how to get stretch passes up ice to create scoring chances. And with mcdavid having a defender mastered in that skill would be deadly.

For severson we may have to pay a bit extra in terms of money but with guys like hyman and kane we did same and it has worked out brilliantly.

Once again giving all of these assets to strengthen a position that we are already strong in makes no sense. The back end is our weak point so it is best to focus on making big changes there rather on forward. Simply trading for demelo is not enough we need a big piece for our defense.
