Baertschi/Stecher
for
JP/Gagner

Cap works for the Oilers
Canucks save 1m cap space
JP 2/1.5m
Gagner to the AHL again

Other than JP all are in contract years. Oil gain some depth & Canucks gain a roster spot demoting Gagner.

So do the slashes mean one of those players or both of them?

09 Aug 2019 05:17:34
Both so a 2 for 2.

Honestly, I think it's close value wise.
Oilers get their RD so Kris Russell can go back to playing LD, and Sven Baertschi for LW depth.
Vancouver gets a risky player with Jesse P, but if they can turn him around it'll be a steal.

I like it

Slashes generally mean either or.

Slashes usually mean a hard
Slash with a hockey stick or a slash with a knife. What country is your dictionary from vbb?

09 Aug 2019 13:58:52
Slashes as a punctuation.

A few glitches on this trade.

1. Gagner played very well in Edm and was 10x better than Strome or Spooner for his Salary. If he plays as well this year as he did last year he is an NHL'er not AHL demotion as indicated.

2nd and most importantly.
Everyone seems to want Jesse for peanuts. Not happening as per Holland's statement. Good on Holland playing hardball with the spoiled brat who thinks that he can dictate his will upon an NHL franchise when he hasn't proven anything yet. Most kids would kill to play in the NHL, doesn't matter which team.

It will take a massive gamble by a GM to pry him out of Edmonton right now with either a top 6'er, or an unprotected 1st.
No one wants to give that for a risk like that, and Holland won't let the brat go for less than that. So STALEMATE time.

Realistically Holland's plan to send Pulu to Europe to have a bit of an attitude adjustment, and prove he can actually skate after double hip surgery is best for everyone. Losing his agent and blaming his child like request on the agent is something I think he needs to do to save face to get back to the NHL.

Ask is too high, return is too low. So off to Euro land you go. Show everyone what you're worth and then perhaps a realistic trade can get negotiated.

@west is best
I'm an Oilers fan, and to be honest I'm pretty biased at times. But no way are we getting a top 6 player or an unprotected first for Jesse.

Sven Baertschi has the skills to become a top 6 players, he just has issues with injuries.

Why did vbb get so many unbelievables, he's right lol about the slash

Unbelievable are not dictated by the point created but more or less about the reputation/ Likeablilty of said poster.
