On the RFA's what you've done with Steel and Lundestrom is confusing. Lundestrom cemented himself last season as the 3rd line center and might even be a core piece now. On the other hand Steel bounced around the line up and was a healthy scratch a bunch of the season. If anything you have the contracts backwards. But more likely you have the Lundestrom one about right and are over paying Steel in both dollars and term.

Stolarz and his super cheap contract doesn't make sense to ARI, another team with loads of cap space. His value is maximized trading him to a cap strapped team like EDM or TOR. Assuming you want to trade him that is (I don't). But you did bring in Mrazek so Stolarz out makes sense.

Buying out Henrique isn't on the table. For one, he's a big part of the veteran leadership on this team and a very valuable player in that role. And you are 5 million or so below the cap floor. The Ducks need Henrique's full cap hit.

Thread: Blow it up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aasen6</b></div><div>The only players in the league with remotely close value to Mcdavid right now are Makar and Matthews. Mackinnon is close but because he only has 1 year left on his deal I don’t put him up there right now. To acquire a guy like Mcdavid is literally franchise changing which means anything or anyone not listed above is available. Seider and Raymond had solid years but combined aren’t even close to matching mcdavids value. Throw in edvinsson who looks great but hasn’t even played an nhl game yet so there’s a little risk and it’s still not close in my opinion. To acquire Mcdavid Detroit would have to give up seider, Raymond, edvinsson, cossa and 2 1sts</div></div>

Not sure about that as my argument for trading a player like McDavid is that every team that has ever won a cup didn't have him on it, so he obviously isn't a necessity for winning

You've got it all wrong. <a href="https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/extending-jesse-puljujarvi-should-be-priority-one-for-oilers-gm-ken-holland-heres-why" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here's why.</a>

He's among the very best in the league in on-ice impact:

CF% Rel: 4th among all forwards
FF% Rel: 5th
SF% Rel: 4th
GF% Rel: 5th
xGF% Rel: 3rd

Puljujarvi is already a MUCH better player than Anderson, plus he's cheaper and younger.

Thread: Seems like it is the rumour of the week
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Poehling</b></div><div>He’s a power forward who can skate shot dangle hit and he’s 6’3 227 lbs

He was MTL 2nd best goal scorer last year and 3rd this year
He played with a team with low offense but still manage to be one of our best goal scorer. Other GMs don’t look at points only, they look at what he brings on the table. <strong>Anderson problems are he can’t play defense and has a North/South game only</strong> </div></div>

Those are two very important things Anderson is lacking for today's NHL. That means if Anderson isn't scoring well (and he hasn't been relative to his contract) he's a liability.



<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Poehling</b></div><div>Look what Lehkonen brought
Anderson would bring a better return</div></div>

Lehkonen is/was also:

- 3.1m cheaper (2.4m cap hit)
- The better scorer last season compared to Anderson (29 pts in 58 vs. 32 pts in 69 w/Montreal)
- Able to play defense (60% dZone starts vs. Anderson's 45%)

That's why Lehkonen brought such a good return.
