Proposal: Best RHD to Edmonton

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
This has been beaten to death around here this summer. There isn't a RHD available at a cost that makes sense for the Oilers.

There are always players who shake lose during camp . Prospect step up , Players become bitter about their roles . Not that we are quite there yet but the time is drawing new . I also read that Chia had talks with team early in the summer and would revisit them now . He not sure if something will happen but he is revisiting them , so there a possibility
 
You missed the part of PP QB PMD? No interest in trading Klefbom for Troubas contract demands.
Nurse should be in the AHL this year and Davidson is not a top 4 D

You are right on all accounts . Davidson played like a top 4 D for about 15 to 20 games last year too short of a sample size to pencil him as anything more then a depth guy until he proves it over a full season
 
Tyler Myers is a decent #4 who can roll a good PP. Has a decent contract and is getting bodied out on the right side, (assuming Trouba is signed and plays on the right).
 
Vats isn't getting traded after they made such a big deal about re-signing him. And unless Drai+ is coming back, I have no interest in giving the Oilers a player like Vats to help them. If they want Vats, they have to give up a big return to make it worth it for us.

I mean, you're free to value Vats however you want, but Draisatl plus?
 
If, and it is a BIG if, the Blues are out of it by the deadline, I can see Shattenkirk being moved for a top10 pick+ something else.

You realize no one in the bottom 1p teams would be looking at rentals. Especially not ones that expensive
 
you're not gonna get everything at once

Yakupov might get you McIlrath, righty but not a PMD, a big tough western Canada kid who would fit in right away with EO

not that i,even as a Ranger fan, would root for that,
we have depth up front,
and i expect Dylan to settle into a top 4 career

but last year our HC wouldn't let Ulf give Dylan the minutes needed to polish his game, and this year may not let Beuk either
 
they said pmd...... the answer is spurgeon, and the cost is drai

I don't think Fletcher wants to move Spurgeon. Commented recently that Spurgeon plays the way that he wants all the players to play.

What's everything? We need a right handed puck mover. That's it. If we wanted a right handed, shutdown, 6/7, we'd just bring back Gryba
 
If, and it is a BIG if, the Blues are out of it by the deadline, I can see Shattenkirk being moved for a top10 pick+ something else.

That's not the type of deal Shattenkirk would bring, simply because those teams would have no use for him. A late 1st and a good prospect or developing NHL'er with term on his deal? Maybe, depending on the prospect. But no way does Shattenkirk go for a top 10 pick+ unless that trade comes with a contract extension for Shattenkirk too.

Myers not really an effective PP QB. Might as well just run Klefbom/Sekera and 4 forwards

Theres a stupid myth on HF that if you have recently drafted a generational player that there's a unwritten law that you have to massively overpay in any trade.

The OP never mentioned Yak - only the 2017 1st.

McD for Oilers 1st.
McD is a LHD

In that case, we value Draisaitl at Vatanen and Rakell. I mean, that's not his value in a vaccuum, but for the Ducks, you betcha.

That's fine. We're not the ones asking for a certain player to fix a position that has been missing from our teams for years so we can be good again.

A poster said the Oilers should go after Vats, I just responded what I would want for giving a divisional rival a piece that massively fixes their team.

You did though. In value, Hall>Larsson. Or is Hall worth less now because he's not an Oiler anymore?
