Value of: 2nd Pairing RHD to Edmonton

[Bryanbryoil]

J Faulk

Hasn't he been crap for St. Louis?

 

[Habs Halifax]

I have a sneaking suspicion Barron woont last with us. That said, they’re both AHLers at this moment in time.

Barron is more than a AHL player. 30 pts with 12 goals in 94 NHL games at age 22. Barron > Bourgault. Bourgault would be no better than what we already have. Mesar, RHP, Farrell, Heineman.

Doesn't matter though. This is a 2nd pairing RD thread for the Oilers. Barron is 2+ years away from potentially being ready for that role. Oilers want the help now.

 

[jjniner]

Faulk had a fantastic 22-23 season, played injured during last season. We need a healthy Faulk to even think about being a playoff team this coming year.

 

[TFHockey]

Although a lot of fans on here talk about the Oilers having to overpay to get someone they need, like a 3-4 RHD, the reality is Edmonton finally has a guy in an acting GM role who pulls off great trades for the team.

Do you see Jeff Jackson overpaying for someone? I don't.

 

[HuGort]

David Savard.

Cost you a 1st like Chiarot

If Oilers had gave up a first for Savard last deadline they'd won the cup

 

[Linkens Mastery]

J Faulk

Faulk isn't waiving for Canada

 

[ManofSteel55]

Savard was going to score in game 7?


Seriously though, we gave up our 1st last year for a guy who contributed pretty well and signed a follow up contract. I think we're satisfied with having Henrique over Savard right now. Now, if we could have gotten Savard with our 2025 1st rounder, I might have been okay with that, although it still would have meant we would have had to do something with Ceci, and I don't think there was any way we were paying a 1st and Ceci for Savard.

Habs wouldn't take Ceci + 1st for Savard...

Savard's value is a 1st rder. You need to also pay us to to take on a cap dump like Ceci.

Ceci isn't a cap dump but okay.

Which is fine, a potential Nurse-Faulk pairing gives me night terrors

I see Savard is going to be the guy that Habs fans swear up and down is worth a first all year long...

David Savard got eaten alive by tough competition last year. Ideally he's a #5 on a good team like the Oilers. Just like Ceci should be.

 

[TFHockey]

I still want Artem Zub from Ottawa, but I don't know how the Oilers could pry him out of there.

Maybe Steve Staios isn't as big a fan of Zub as the previous GM was. But being a former defenseman himself, he probably is.

The Oilers have got to move Nurse.

It feels like they've been screaming it from the mountaintops for a year and a half already, ha ha ha.

 

[triggrman]

Fabbro and/or Schenn both RD both defensive first type defenders. Fabbro is better, Schenn more physical and larger. Both under $3M.

And we were right about Chirot so... yah!

 

[Skolman]

Ceci isn't a cap dump but okay.

How exactly is Ceci a cap dump when you look at some of the contracts some defensemen got 2 weeks ago?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

And we were right about Chirot so... yah!

that there was one desperate idiot stupid enough to overpay for him and then regret it immediately, for sure!

100%

Chairot also played a lot bigger role on the Habs than Savard is.

Wouldn't been game 7. Savard ace in playoffs. Probably best shot blocker in game.

Reminds me of Flyers fans when we were trading Patrick Roy. No way would they make offer. Costs them 2 Cups.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

 

[Space umpire]

Connor Murphy (50% retained), Louis Crevier
And 2026 4th rd pick. To the oilers
For 2027 1st rd, and 2026 2nd rd pick.

Makes Murphy’s cap hit 2.2 mill for 2 years. Crevier WILL BE AN NHL REGULAR. Not sure if 2nd or 3rd pair though.
I feel Chicago overpays here but gets what they want and the team’s owner has not had an issue spending money.

 

[overlords]

It's a good thing that Edmonton won't have any reasons to be desperate to win next year, then.

So Savard is the missing piece that will put Oilers over the top?
The guy is hardly an upgrade over Ceci.

I don't know if he even is. Just different. Both guys should be 5/6 ideally.
