Some guy had a rumour and specifically mentioned the following players during his video blog.

Edmondson
Barbashev
Allen
Ristolinen

He never mentioned that there were talks.

They get top pairing Physical LHD can play top pairing minutes. and They get a 3rd line tough play making center that can move up if needed.

LOLOLOLOL JOEL EDMUNDSON TOP PAIRING?

A news article said ''he’s looked more like a bottom pairing or seventh defenseman who shouldn’t be trusted in high-pressure situations. ''

He collected just nine takeaways to 41 giveaways, the worst ratio on the team by far.

Okay, this is Colt 100%.

Ya it’s Colt for sure.

13 Aug 2019 20:26:55
TyBa4. He played the previous 2 years with Petro on the top line. Last year he had a bad year but still spent most of the year with petro. SO yeah he has and can be top pairing. While you are at it why don't you look up his previous two years and use all his stats not just one you cherry picked.

I actually don’t mind Edmondson but that’s not enough for Risto in Edmondson you’re getting a a potential bounce back dman who can play 2nd pairing, Barbeshev is a solid bottom 6 forward and a 3rd for a top 15 PP dman who is one of the most physical players in the NHL.

@redwing1

Oh, the stats I ''cherry picked''?
His corsi % is average. Not horrible, but not good. Simply OK. Which is normal for somebody that is a fringe top 4 defenceman.
Show me the stats you want me to see.

14 Aug 2019 00:46:59
Table scraps and garbage for a top 4 RHD. I don’t think so. And where does Risto play? 3RHD? Or does St. Louis trade Parayko or Pietrangelo to make room for him? Stupid proposal.

An oilers fan trying to educate the stanley cup champs about defence lol. This is too easy lol.

16 Aug 2019 18:39:59
the oilers have better defence than the habs.

16 Aug 2019 19:09:51
OH really? And when exactly did this happen?

16 Aug 2019 22:30:56
I mean. It's kind of common sense?
Weber is always injured (never even played one full season for the Habs), terrible contract and will be untradeable in a couple of years.
Petry is mediocre and overpaid.

Weber, Petry, Mete, Chiarot, Kulak, Folin
vs
Nurse, Larsson, Klefbom, Russell, Bouchard, Benning

you're pretty funny, you're like the french Colt lol.

I mean Bouchard would literally be your guys' second pairing defenceman right now.

17 Aug 2019 02:00:25
Like where are all those stats and facts you were going to destroy me with? If you can't find them at least explain how anyone on the oilers defence is actually better then petry. i mean I like nurse and klefbom and of course they are younger which gives them the edge in the long term but really what have they done so far that makes them better? Also if he's over paid then I guess Larson is too right?

17 Aug 2019 02:07:17
Not trying to defend habby or anything but Bouchard has played a handful of games in the NHL. Chances are he’s going to be good but right now he’s a question mark. Weber is an absolute stud. Yes the injuries have been taking a toll and yes his contract is nuts, but you were talking about talent, not contracts. Petry is a pretty solid defenseman that Edmonton should’ve kept. The Oiler fans keep saying their d pool is deep so I’ll believe you. I’ve admitted before that I don’t know a lot about prospects, it’s probably the only reason I stay on this site. Some of you are very smart when it comes to the young kids. I definitely don’t stick around for the childish crap.
