Edmonton: Jesse Puljujärvi and 2nd Rd 2018

Carolina: Justin Faulk

Edmonton: Gets a cheap offensive deffensman that can quterback a power play. Who is on a great contract

Carolina: they get an Elite prospect with lots of potential and they have a surplus of defenceman.

Unproven prospect for a great dman and possibly late round pick. Car says no.

Traderbro- McDavid was once an unproven prospect.

Love Faulk but it's either Carolina adding or oil ain't doing it. That age gap is a little much and you just said elite prospect. why would they even trade him then with oil RW depth not super great!

The RW depth would be the only thing holding me back on that trade like you said but Faulk is exactly what the Oilers need and he's only 25. Good trade for both teams. Best proposal yet VB.

I know RW depth isn't great but at the point in the teams development, is say oilers got to take this deal. To get a D like Faulk on his prime while losing nothing of the roster that impressed so much last season is huge. Also with centres like mcdavid and draisatl, it will be much easier to find decent wingers than a stud D like that. Mediocre wingers can be good beside great centres. (Kunitz/ Crosby for all those years) (Burrows scoring 35 with Sedin) Centres, D and goaltending will win before any winger.

Hey I'd take it, like I said I love Faulk, but Oilers wouldn't. Chiarelli would get his head chopped off if that trade happened by our fans I'll tell ya that right now.

IM sorry Mcdavid an unproven prospect. that's laughable at best. let's compare first year stats

Mcdavid- 45games g16 a32 pts48 -1 (had 120pts in 47 games ohl) elite prospect

PLaine-73 games g36 a28 64 pts Elite prospect

Jesse P- 28games g1 a7 pts10 +5 (had 28 pts in smliiga in 50gms)
Also played 39 games in ahl g12 a16 pts 28 not even ppg player in ahl. How does this make him elite.

So stats don't lie. I think he will be top 6 no doubt but elite def not.

Ok McDavid was never unproven and Oilers would only dream of this deal happening.

Hard to say who is ever going to be elite. word get tossed around way to much anyway. however let's let this kid play first before we judge him. the way "elite" is used on here, dunno if anyone thought Jamie Benn was going to be the player he was going to be. and no, I'm not comparing the 2. jus let the kids play., and who they become, they become.

Not today's right. The fans that complain about that deal are uneducated fans. You have a prospect who had a less than stellar draft year, fell to you at 4th and hasn't been overly impressive since. It's very early and he's very young, but when the piece you're getting back puts you that much closer to a real contender, how can a real fan that knows what they're talking about hate that deal and rip a GM? The guy coming back making you so much better isn't a 35 year old with a year left, he's a top pair 25 year old Dman with 3 years left on his contract at less than 5 mill. Can't worry about what dumb fans think. GMs job is to improve his team and this does that tenfold.

. and Nylander, Mcdavid was proven since he was 10 years old and Gretzky would go watch him in tournaments. I get the point that all guys have to earn their stripes, but anyone but him would have made the point better lol.

Before resigning Russell to $4M per for 4 years (I don't like the term at all, 2 years was hoping for) this is a maybe and still a no because of Edm RW depth.
But it's def no after resigning Russell. Nurse get a raise next year. If theu got Faulk they could have all 6 their D making over $3.5M-$4M depending what Nurse gets. It's an easy no because they don't need to pay their third paring so much.

Klefbon Larsson each just over $4M
Sekera $5.5 Faulk just over $4M
Nurse raise to probably $3.5/ 4M Russell $4
It's an easy no from Edm They need Puljujarvi to produce soon. Maybe if they were to get Sekera to waive no trade. Which i hope he we can some day in a year or two.

Typical Mcjesus. Edmonton would take that and run.
