Thread: THE REBUILD IS OVER PARTY
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Grievous</b></div><div>For someone so informed (and thank you for the info on salaries didn't know this) Mantha is simply a strange choice. Improbable would be a signed Desharnais or Berglund or Marino jumping straight to the NHL, but a player going to the NHL after missing an entire year and with no NHL experience would be a bloody miracle.

We are talking about miracles here, and all those were used up until the end of time for this franchise with the 2015 lottery win.</div></div>

I’m not sure what you’re talking about here. Mantha is on LTIR on this team, not playing. Cap friendly doesn’t have a Season Opening Injured Reserve section, but SOIR is where the Oilers have him now. He’s not playing in the NHL, but the Oilers have to do something with his contract.

Whether someone puts him on LTIR or moves Mantha down to the AHL section it doesn’t matter. He’s not playing and doesn’t count towards the cap

Thread: THE REBUILD IS OVER PARTY
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Grievous</b></div><div>You must not know that Ryan Mantha lost all his vision in one eye and doesn’t play hockey anymore and that Kris Russell has a no trade clause (he wants to stay in Western Canada).

Also, any free agent making less than $1,000,000 (Puljujarvi) has to be paid at least 10% more than his previous salary.</div></div>

Mantha is still under contract, whether his eyes toast or not, and they’re still not sure it is.

Russell has to pick 10 teams he can be traded to no matter where they are. While I don’t think the Ducks would be on that list, there isn’t 10 teams in western Canada

It’s a 5% increase on the base salary. Puljujarvi’s base salary is $832,500 with a $92,500 bonus, making his qualifying offer $874,125

Thread: EDM Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>WOW that is terrible trade value. Reinhart is a better player than RNH. Reinhart produces without the help of McDavid. Granted RNH is better defensively but he isn't worth more than Reinhart that's for sure. That 2019 1st is likely not even a top 10 pick, this year's draft isn't supposed to be very deep. Reinhart isn't on the trade block unless you wanna toss us Draisaitl. Risto to Edmonton would basically be for RNH. We don't want Poolbustparty, we have our own young wingers who aren't busts.</div></div>

RNH has spent most of the season as a centre (not playing with McDavid). So... as you said, Nuge is better defensively, he’s actually a centre, and has more points. I’m missing how Reinhart is better

Thread: Help for Mcdavid and Leon Feedback Plz
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DRshnuckels87</b></div><div>I let Kharia go because he has not been that good for edmonton and isn't worth the money I think he will be asking.
I think bouchard is a good d-man already he can switch with pouliot any time he wants.
Thank you for the feedback anyways.</div></div>

The salary cap is going to be around 83 mill next season. You should trade RFA’s you don’t want. You’ve traded the top winger prospects, 2 firsts, and 2 nhl RD plus the most experienced RD prospect. If you’re worried about players costing too much the best way to go is draft and develop. Trading prospects for immediate help is one of the reasons the Oilers are where they are.

Sorry if I seem harsh, not my intention. Folks get defensive on this site so I get to the point. Welcome to Cap “friendly” lol
