Thread: Re-tool - Back in finals based on feedback

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>why do people keep trading for puljujarvi? limited time in the nhl wasnt good, playing in a much worse league in sweden. I wouldnt spend any assets for him. i would just keep kuraly as i dont think lauko is ready yet. Big pass on holtby. probs not enough for but i dont think they trade debrusk for nurse just to handcuff themselves to taylor hall.</div></div>

I don’t know how long you’ve been a Bruins fan, but if you wanna know what happened with Puljujarvi... Peter Chiarelli!

One can only imagine what could’ve happened if Jesse was left in FINLAND for his draft +1 and developed properly with more AHL time.

Thread: EDMONTON FANS - what is realistic market value for Evan Bouchard

He’s not being traded. I don’t know where you heard about Bouchard’s development, but no one could/should be unhappy with it.

A lot of the talk about the Oilers depth on defence is misguided too. They’re deep at LD not RD (which IMO are positions dependent on whether a player is left or right handed) As good as Bouchard is, he can’t be expected to be ready next season.

Thread: which 34 million is better spent

Drai, McD, Nuge for 27 million and 268 points last season, and those 4 Leafs for 40.5 million and 266 points.
RNH will get around 7 mill and the Oilers already have the replacements for all those D men.

Thread: Publish

Russell’s actual money would be $166,667 paid by his new team if the Oilers retained $1,333,333. He will have already gotten his signing bonus.
I’m not sure they could retain more then $1,250,000 though since his salary is $1.5 with a $1,000,000 SB. The CBA confuses me on whether it’s 50% of salary or cap hit.

Thread: young guy blockbuster

Rykov isn’t going to get you anything out of Edmonton. A quick look would tell you that the Oilers are one of, if not the deepest team at LD in the NHL.

I guess he could eventually be as good or better then Klefbom, Nurse, Jones, Lagesson, Samorukov, Broberg, Lennstrom, Niemelainen, and Cairns, but I think they’re alright.

Thread: Taking a stab at it

I’d like to see the Oilers sign Bear for 3 or 4 years for less, but a fair amount. Then he’ll still be an RFA, and they can re-up having a better idea of what Bouchard is gonna be.

Thread: Tweaks

The Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh’s one stop shop for all their RD needs lol. With the goaltending prospects the Oilers have, and available UFA’s they shouldn’t be trading anything for a goalie.

If Kris Russell can’t be traded, or he won’t waive for a team that does want him I think the Oilers should just buy him out. They’ll save a million off his cap hit and it’s only for one season. I’m sure Jones, Lagesson, or Samorukov can fill his shoes. Jones-Benning would be a very good third pair IMO.

Thread: EDM STL TOR

Why would the Oilers trade anything for Skjei?
They have Klefbom and Nurse, Lagesson and Jones ready, with Samorukov and Broberg to follow.

Thread: Oilers fans what do you think

That’s a tough one... Nuge is loved. I think extensions for Kreider and Strome would have to be agreed on before it went down since RNH is still under contract next season.

Thread: is this enough for Bear

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluetomorrow83</b></div><div>Not really buyout friendly.. 3M buyout so only 1M savings. What it does become is very tradeable to the right teams after July 1st bonus Russell's salary will only be 1.5M. I don't think Oilers would have to "pay a hefty price" to move Russell bit of retention and Oilers likely to get midround pick back plus Russell actually looked fairly decent this year especially when playing leftside</div></div>
It would not be a hefty price, as was said though. In a worse case scenario the Oilers would save a million of Russell’s cap hit and cost $0 after the contract in a buyout. I believe that NHL opportunities should be made available for Edmontons young defenceman, without paying a vet millions of dollars to sit.

Thread: Nurse

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>to much involved n the trade

you want Nurse , that's all that should be coming from EDM
MTL should be offering Drouin and a 1st as a base offer
EDM fans will chime in with a prospect or pick they'd want in addition

adding a damage EDM player fans are still high on doomed this trade before you even got a chance to focus on how each base player in the deal helps each team</div></div>

Chiming in: Nurse for Drouin, Fairbrother, and a 1st (maybe Chi’s 2nd). If Puljujärvi is in it too Montreal adds Ylönen.

Edmonton doesn’t have room for contracts or cap. Montreal would probably have to take Manning, Gagner, or retain some of the Drouin contract. A trade like this could get complicated.

Thread: Oilers 2020-2021

I think Russell will be bought out before next season if he can’t or won’t be moved (dumb NTC). With Jones, Lagesson (whom you forgot about), Samorukov, and Broberg coming for LD the Oilers have to make room. Hell, one of Klefbom or Nurse could be traded too depending.
