Trading one of the best players in the game … thank god your not a GM, just an arm chair GM.

17 Jan 2022 04:06:21
In no world will Drai get traded.

17 Jan 2022 15:12:56
Boo hoo sometimes you got to suck it up sally. Identify the fact that Edmonton is in cap trouble along with the fact that yes players do get traded and Draisaitl could fetch what is required in order for Edmonton to even make your captain happy because pretty soon he is going to ask for a trade outta there. So choose one Mac or D? Yes sometimes gms have to have balls. In no world is any player ever safe even if they have a NTM. And not saying it will happen, but imo something needs to happen in a BIG WAY! A great goalie, a real good center, a young upcoming solid D man and er 6 mil cap space. Exactly what Edmonton needs.

17 Jan 2022 15:48:08
Gonna ignore the fact the value is way off but, you think trading Draisaitl will make McDavid happier? Plus you trade 4 months of a really bad contract in Koskinen, one of the best contracts in the league in Draisaitl, and an okay contract in Barrie. Don’t really get ahead cap wise IMO.

17 Jan 2022 16:20:57
@Ebsolutely well the value may seem off but again just saved an extra plus 6 mil which could help shore up the third and 4th lines. let's not pretend either that Elvis isn't a true number one starter with a great future ahead of him. And yes Mac D might be happier. Pretty sure he can own the spotlight without having to share it. I would like to see your value on it but don't forget in my deal I saved cap space and brought back three parts where the players coming back are not slouches either.

17 Jan 2022 17:19:50
oh and let's not forget the fact that the players coming back from the blue jackets also are signed with real decent contracts. So there is that as well. ;)

The Oilers will have to deal one of or even both of their 2 superstars .
Other then their 2 superstars, the Oilers are a very weak team.

I can see the Oilers being forced to deal both of them for prospects an picks for the sake of a rebuild.

17 Jan 2022 18:25:01
They aren’t weak at all. RNH, Hyman, Puljujarvi are all top 6 wingers. Add in Yamo, McLeod, Foegele, Kassian and there top 9 is deep. Adding a top 6 winger would make them one of the best if not the best forward groups in the league. Nurse, Bouchard, Ceci all have been good this year. Need to add another D and by playoffs next year Broberg will be a top 4.
There’s a 0% chance they trade either of the two. I can guarantee you McDavid would be more than unhappy about Draisaitl getting traded. You think they’ll be forced to trade the two best players in the league because of a really bad 15 game stretch? There only a couple points out of playoffs!
In your proposal sure you saved 6M but you made the team worse. Yeah a goalie is almost a must at this point but they can definitely get a good one without trading Draisaitl. Lol.

17 Jan 2022 18:26:59
If they don’t make this trade they save 4.5M in 4 months. So that extra 1.5M is worth trading the second best player in the league?

18 Jan 2022 14:06:27
Ebs - but you are forgetting that "trading the 2nd best player in the league" plus the two other oiler players in my propsal also gave back 3 players that help round out the team so let's not think you were getting nothing by trading him. Again saving 6 mil now gives the ability to also add more depth now.

18 Jan 2022 16:06:24
Jenner is a good player but he’s a massive downgrade over Draisaitl. Bean has more value than Barrie but that’s a lateral move right now. Obviously Merzlikins is a huge upgrade on Koskinen and would be nice to have but it’s just not worth it. I think they’ll get there goalies figured out soon or at least in the offseason without losing Draisaitl or McDavid.

18 Jan 2022 16:26:44
Ebs, ya, I agree that they most likely wouldn't trade Drais or Mc D now and will somehow try to score a tender by other means just that I felt in one swoop it could help the oilers now and maybe even save Hollands job ( or lol maybe not because of trading one of the two best players on the oilers) but imo they'd still be better off doing so, and hell, . who knows, maybe Holland won't be able to make any moves because the oilers should really be firing his Assets (.

18 Jan 2022 19:24:39
Who do you cheer for? I know a lot of fans want to fire Holland and Tippet but I personally think they have the right mindset. I don’t think Holland helped the cap situation by signing a bunch of bottom of the lineup guys for 2 years and bring in Keith for 2 years but I’m happy he’s not panicking.

27 Jan 2022 17:57:51
Ebs -I am a leaf fan :) glg.

Omg are you serious? I mean draisaitl is nhls second best player, and best contract after mackinnon.

I mean if Columbus wants they have to start with werenski that would save oilers 3,5m.

And next year koskinen is Ufa that's another 4,5m . now we are up at 8m

Can trade kassian to another team for a pick to save cap

You don't trade nhls second best player to save cap

Fair offer is werenski + Kent Johnson and Columbus 2022 first round for draisaitl.
