Thread: Super ideal part 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>8 expiring contracts this year, and a handful of important ones the year after. Katz is currently cutting costs where he can to save actual dollars (hence the Gryba buyout). What "superstar" UFA wants to come to Edmonton until this team is worth its salt? Why does this team need to lock itself in perennial cap hell every offseason?

The only useful player that was traded away was Bear. Bouchard falling to the Oilers really hurts any chance he has of being anything more than a #7 guy that gets PP time. The picks moved out aren't going to be NHL players for at least 4 years, and no early round picks besides a 2021 2nd is moved out. Highly unlikely that more than 1 of those picks turns into a bonafide NHLer.</div></div>

Lucic, Sekera, Russell and Aberg are all NHL players. You traded them along with high picks for low picks and replaced them with AHLers (Baptiste, Dauphin, Yamamoto, Raddysh). Unless you are using the newfound cap space for better players, this plan is terrible.

Thread: Trado for D option
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jp_harvey</b></div><div>Karlsson, with an extension agreed upon, is worth Draisaitl + '19 1st round pick. So you're getting Duchene for Lucic + Bear + '20 3rd round pick...That's not gonna happens. Make it Yamamoto + Bear + '20 1st round pick (for the Duchene part of the deal) and this would be fait on both sides.</div></div>

So in total you think that Karlsson &amp; Duchene are worth: Two 1st round picks, Draisaitl (#1 Centre), Yamamoto and Bear (easily two of their best prospects)? They could both walk at the end of the season and Duchene is a number 2 center now at best. The fact that Ottawa could get a number 1 center, a good prospect, a number 1 pick, a 3rd and a character guy could help them out.

I'm not saying that this trade is fair, sure the Oilers could sweeten the deal a little, but I think your trade might be a little much. Just my thoughts

Thread: Oilers fan lucic isn't getting trade but have no fear progress is on its way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Scott</b></div><div>Doesn't make sense to trade for a top 6 RW when we have Yamamoto and Puljujarvi.

If we keep Lucic he is a 3LW. So lets say we draft Zadina or Tkachuk, we still need 1 more top 6 LW if you trade away RNH.

I am not convinced we should trade for a RHD when Bear will likely be ready for the NHL in 2019-20 and none of Nurse, Larsson, Klefbom, and Benning are at the age defensman usually peak. I think we go one more year with the same defence then re evaluate summer 2019. Summer 2019 we can trade Sekera and Russell without them having to waive their NMZ... and we will see where Jones and Bear are at. Also, Sekera has negative value right now, let him rebound from his injury and he will have positive value. If he reaches his peak he could probably net us a 1st round pick from a contender (see McDonagh trade).</div></div>

I partially agree but wouldn't you rather give bear 2 or 3 years to develop a bit on lower end minutes and have s good rhd puck moving guy in faulk would be s great add also seen the oilers signed safin that's dope
