Thread: Shaking Both Teams Up

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>What? How are the Jets giving up the better player, with the better contract.... and adding?

Nope from Winnipeg.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Canoehead</b></div><div>Jets decline. They need a new coach to put Ehlers on the top line and PP1 to maximise his talents.</div></div>

It's not a guarantee that Ehlers will work on a top line powerplay whereas we know that Nylander can work on a top line powerplay. IMO that makes him slightly more valuable than Ehlers.

I've seen that contract amount a couple of times, is that what he's estimated to sign at?

Thread: Nugeeeeee

Can I ask why you think they should trade Bear? Personally that Barrie contract scares me. He had one good year and I'm worried that he will be on a steady decline and he'll be 35 when the contract is over and I'm worried he will bury Bouchard. I feel like Bouchard is ready to step in and be just as good or will be soon. Just my opinion

Thread: BIG Trade

I'm not a Penguins or a Leafs fan but that Marner trade is rough.

Maybe I'm wrong but I always feel like Guentzel is only good because he plays with Crosby and with another team he wouldn't get as many points as he does in Pittsburgh. Marner is an elite player in this league and I think he'll cost more than what you put on the table.

Thread: Marner Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ConnorMcHellebucyk</b></div><div>Idk. Unlike most leaf players, Reilly is actually effective. I’d consider,</div></div>

My issue with it is that you are giving up a decent amount for a 1 year rental player who probably won't resign after a year. If he'll resign with the team I'd take this trade all day everyday but it's a big pill to swallow for 1 year

Thread: eichel gone

I've never watched a Buffalo game unless they play the Jets or Oilers. Does Reinhart play a wing or does he only play center? The Oilers need attacking wingers not more center depth (unless if RNH doesn't sign).

Honestly though, I have a hard time seeing how they fit Reinhart under the cap.

Thread: Thoughts

I would be scared if the Oilers signed that Hoffman contract. He will be 36 when that contact is over and he's showing signs of starting to slow down. From my perspective you are buying out James Neal's bad contract to potentially have Hoffman's contract on the books. I'd feel much better if it were like a 2 or 3 year deal maybe?

Can people also tell me why Mikko is getting bought out? He had a bad year, the last two years he's been either an average NHL goalie or he's been pretty good. People forget last year he had a .917. I'd run him for one more year personally.

Neal I get, that bum can leave.

Thread: What I want to see next year

I don't watch any Buffalo games so I might be missing something, but is Staal really that much better than Turris? I mean looking at points, Staal has 9 and Turris has 4 and it's not like Staal is great defensively either. Guy has a minus 14. So my question is, is Staal really worth adding in an extra 2 draft picks?

Yeah that's why I added Roslovic to help out with the center problem. I can see why they'd still say no to this because Roslovic would be a #2 at best and I don't know if Domi is a #1

Thread: Jets - Ottawa Trade

As a Jet fan I'd say this is an overpayment. Chabot is a fantastic defenseman and would be a top 2 anywhere in the NHL. I think in all honesty if Ottawa were to do this it would probably be closer to a 1 for 1.

Also, I hate people who just say "Troll" or "delete this" without any explanation. Have a debate and say reasons don't be a douche.

Thread: Give Finland to Finland

I don't watch Florida (no one really does) but going based off basic stats I don't think Ekblad is any better than Pionk. They almost have identical points, +/-, PIMS, etc. So using my wonderful logic, you are saying Laine for a 3rd line winger, a center who had 23 points in the AHL and a 2nd? I think the Jets could maybe get more? Now this only makes sense if my very quick estimation on Ekblad is accurate.

Instead of using all those picks for Cirelli, why not acquire it in a trade or something with Laine?

What about if you took out the 2nd and the Oilers threw in James Neal? I just want his contract gone

Thread: Contenders

Yeah as an Oiler fan I can't see TO taking this. I think a lot of people are low on Kassian right now because of his crap playoffs and I wonder if people think he's a cap dump right now. I'm not saying that he is a cap dump but hockey fans have a what have you done for me lately mentality. He'd play in TO bottom 6 and it's a lot for him. I can see Nurse going to TO and Nylander going to EDM but it would need to be a different trade

Thread: Oilers jackets

I don't see why the Oilers do that. From what I've seen stats wise, Koskinen is better (right now) than Hutton. I'd maybe be okay with the 1 for 1 goalie swap for a change of scenery but I don't think the Oilers would trade Poolparty right now for a second. Just my thoughts

Thread: EDM-PHI-ARZ Trades

Man, that's a real interesting Edmonton trade. If RNH is willing to resign at a reasonable price I might not like this trade. But, if they can't then yeah I'm all for it. I'd be a little disappointed if he left but I think it's fair value. Drouin could be a stud on the Oilers

I agree it's maybe more of a speculation and i should have picked my wording better. I think I heard it before COVID saying something about how he doesn't like how Barry Trotz coaches with such a strong emphasis on defense. I may have heard this on TSN or Sportsnet. Idk

TBH i was just too lazy to move him to the AHL and sign all these players :p. It was more about the Barzal trade.

Thread: TB doesnt want to be OS by any team

I like the Oilers trade. However, if the Oilers did this, they'd have to shed some of their own cap to make it work. Not saying that TB would take any back, more they'd have to send Russell, Neal, etc. somewhere else. They don't have the space to take on Killorn without it. If the Oilers were to do that, I think that's a very fair trade

I completely understand that he had no intention of playing with the Oilers and they were forced to trade him, but they traded him for a 6th round pick i think. I just wished they could have gotten more for him.

Thread: MIN and WPG Trade V2

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KPasty</b></div><div>Not even close to getting Laine... try changing those 2nd's to 1st's and not taking on Drouin and adding in a Top Prospect like Caufield or Suzuki

Something along the lines of

Winnipeg Gets:
Suzuki
Petry
Juulsen
2020 1st
2021 Cdnt'l 2nd (Upgrades to first if Laine scores 40 goals or has 70 points)
2022 3rd

Montreal Gets:
Laine</div></div>

I don't watch Montreal, but is Suzuki ready to be a 2nd line center? I'd think Winnipeg would want back someone who is roster proven like Domi. Something like Suzuki, Domi, 1st, and a 3rd?

I mean even that might be high, Laine hasn't reached 35+ goals or 65+ points in the last two seasons. I'm not saying he's a bad player at all, BUT, he's inconsistent and has been on a slight decline the last two seasons points wise. I think Winnipeg fans (I don't know if you are) over hype him a little too much. This coming from a person who lives in Winnipeg
