<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gregb567</b></div><div>Parakyo had a case for Conn Smythe. You're not getting him for Larrson (mediocre top 4) Pulj (whos a bust rn) Bear (unproven, non-NHL ready prospect), a 25 yr old 15 nhl games EXP whos probably never going to stick, and picks...

STL ask for Draisaitl</div></div>

Considering Parayko had 8 more points then Larrson for 1.4 million more i would think there is merrit to the swap considering st louis has a log jam of defense-man, obviously larrsson is not as good as parayko but a combination of the prospects, picks and larsson are a starting point, im sure id have to sweeten it but its not as bad of a deal as your making it out to be on the surface, yes parayko played great in the playoffs but does st louis get to the final again? if they don't maneuver the cap properly they may have to blow it up after next year.

I overlooked the lack of a LD on devils roster for sure, my thoughts as a long time oiler is we are in desperate need for offense from the defense and vatanen (while having a couple bad years) is a better offensive option then larsson and if shattenkirk falters, gets injured and etc then having another offensive rd to move around actually provides a great deal of flexibility. now with that being said maybe they take russell and a bit better package to make the deal instead of russel and then larsson goes to rangers instead of russell. I watched vatanen quite a bit with the ducks and think new jersey just isnt the right fit for him, with our core i think he could see a great improvement in points.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>I agree with them having to do something to improve but you're dreaming if you think Kreider would resign in Edmonton, you're just throwing away a 1st and Pulujarvi's potential for one season of Kreider and two seasons of Shattenkirk, it's not worth it.

The Puljujarvi,2nd,Bear for Buchnevich trade idea that's been thrown around on here is one that has merit for the Oilers.</div></div>

Well i mean i was making these moved with the notion that krieder would resign with the oil or of course i would nevwr make the trade. to say he wouldn’t is baseless, he would have probably some of the best opportunity in edmonton as a winger and on power play, money talks and so does opportunity so none of us can say he would or wouldn’t, as for the trade, no gm would make that trade without talking to kreider to gauge his interest and etc and fulfill the proper due dilligence needed

Long run its for sure alot of pieces to give up for the oil but at a certain pount proven commodities are extremely meccessary to break out of this hell hole of. Decade. Jesse has potential but kreider is better for the next 4 or 5 years then i think jp will be, shattenkirk is a flyer for sure could be washed up but as of right now he would be considered the closest thing to an elite dman we have, i feel like his points would
Increase by 15 wasily on the pp and throwing passes to our two top lines. Prospects can be restocked but we need to get a few players that are good and experiences, not ones at the end of their careers.

Please excuse my errors, i have a giant crack down my phone screan that gets the best of me

Thread: shaking it up
1) the trade opens up 750,000 in cap space and turns into a 3rd round draft pick if he resigns, vegas will not be resigning eakins and he had one 20 goal season, him and gagner are similar age and similar point totals, gagner got moved around last year and had 13 pts in 32 games which works out to 33 pts over 82 games so 750,000 less cap, not having to worry about resigning and a 3rd round pick if he signs with oilers which there is a high chance he would is def not horrible at all.

2) batherson is a solid prospect and your point could totally be valid but they have a lack of veterans in the bottom six and a vet who wins draws is a ufa next year and a 3rd round pick (batherson was a 4th) is not crazy far off if the gm was a good salesman, maybe oil would need to compliment brodziak with another prospect that isn't in our plans but i wouldn't say this is way off

3) the wild have been trying to get rid of zucker for months and spurgeon is an older dman on a ufa contract who i don't think will resign in minny, i will give you the quality over quantity for sure but the addition of a conditional 1st round and a 3rd rounder as well as 2 roster dman with short term commitments, a tough roster right winger who had a good season and 15 goals last year and a former 4th overall pick who has potential (i am not sure about jp myself but there is still interest in him) and then archibald scored 12 goals last year is a solid special teams player and can be buried in minors or let walk at end of season. Minny also decreases their cap hit with this trade

4) this is far from a wash, a conditional second round pick if an rfa resigns is not the same as a lower end prospect and djoos just went thru arbitratio, he is a def a better dman then manning but hes not better then manning and a 2nd rd draft pick
