Thread: Oilers TDL and Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>What do you think Puju is? Lol. He does not have much trade value at this point either. I agree though.

Caps would take both those deals.


Everyone elses declines.</div></div>

Why specifically does "everyone else decline" ? Perhaps the TDL deals returns are slightly too high however the market is being set at the moment and Lovejoy getting a 3rd + prospect and Jensen getting a 2nd + Bowey has established benchmarks.

Deal #1: Reider will fetch a 3rd/4th rounder to a team looking for bottom 6 depth. He can kill penalties and is a affordable option
Deal #2: Kassian + Retained Salary will be a underrated add for any team. Specifically a team in the hunt would be wise to add Kassian as he is playing well at the moment can be a big time player
Deal #3: Gravel will fetch a late pick and would be a smart deadline add for a team with limited cap (pending UFA so not a detriment next season
Deal #4: Petrovic is a good 3rd pair NHL dman and COL would be wise to add a player like Petro and pair him with Zadorov in a 3rd pair shutdown role. Return has been established by earlier deals this week
Deal #5: Brodziak returned to his former team to play 4th line center in a potentially deep playoff run isnt that wild of proposition
Deal #6: Benning for Granlund would be a smart move for both teams VAN. EDM needs forwards / VAN needs dman both players are relatively young and being passed in the depth charts
Deal #7: Ryan for Lucic + Manning &amp; picks. OTT is going to look to add as many picks as possible this year and next. Also they need to add salary in order to reach the cap floor. This deal adds 1m in cap to OTT
Deal #8: Shaw for Russell MTL has been linked to LHD trade rumors all season and could look to add in the offseason if not addressed. Could see EDM adding picks or prospects to make this happen

Thread: TOR DET
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Does Detroit do that trade?
I don't know, it's tough to say but you gotta think they'd consider it given that they're rebuilding and that 1st round pick could end up being a good one.</div></div>

If they do this trade, it would probably be before the deadline as Edmonton would try to push for a playoff spot. Best case scenario for Detroit, Sekera never plays again and sits in LTIR for life and the pick becomes lottery pick. Worst case, Oilers make the playoffs losing somewhere within the first two rounds so pick is around 22nd overall + Safin. Not bad of a return for a 2012 110th overall pick. I think these types of trades make sense for the Oilers because they're not rebuilding except the timeline of their impact players are off. To be a contender, Edmonton needs 24-26 year olds to contribute now because their window is now.
