interesting choice of words.
I'm not a Predator
How about that ! They have Nurse available for you guysAnother defenseman to play in our top 4.
Nashville is a playoff team with designs of beating Edmonton in the 2025 playoffs.He could be a good fit for the Oilers 2nd pairing, what would it take?
I think they are. Draisaitl getting traded is 100% on the table. Fabbro isn't a realistic option. Oilers going to have to overpay to deal with any team. Only way not to trade Draisaitl is to deal Nuge for peanuts. If Draisaitl was going to sign and give the home town discount. It would already be done.They’re looking at options…
They didn’t panic and match offer sheets that would handcuff them. They are very clearly not panicking lol
this is just not true at allI think they are. Draisaitl getting traded is 100% on the table. Fabbro isn't a realistic option. Oilers going to have to overpay to deal with any team. Only way not to trade Draisaitl is to deal Nuge for peanuts. If Draisaitl was going to sign and give the home town discount. It would already be done.
Fabbro is the most likely to give a hometown discount. Most of family lives in Nashville now, his older sisters went to college here, and he’s always been a Predator fan because of his ties to Nashville.Problem is he 12 months away from UFA and he will be getting a massive raise from the current 2.5.
correct me if im wrong but werent there reports of fabbro being on the block last offseasonFabbro is the most likely to give a hometown discount. Most of family lives in Nashville now, his older sisters went to college here, and he’s always been a Predator fan because of his ties to Nashville.

There is no team in the NHL that would trade for the Nurse contract for peanuts. That contract is so substantially negative value and buyout proof. If Nurse could be dumped for peanuts, he'd have been traded for future considerations long ago.I think they are. Draisaitl getting traded is 100% on the table. Fabbro isn't a realistic option.

Nashville only has Schenn (3rd pair) and Carrier (2nd pair) as RHD behind Fabbro. Like most NHL teams, they have more good LHD than RHD.I only see this working cap-wise for the Oilers if Kulak is moved for Fabbro.
Kulak is signed for two more years cheap and is a good left side only 3rd pair D with some offensive chops. And it looks like Stetcher can take his role without too much fall off.
The question is what would the sweetener be?
I get that the mentality is to think that a young guy “fallen” because a team has decided to go in another direction but I don’t believe his game has fallen off and Fabbro might just be the guy the Oilers could use to replace Broberg and he’d be much cheaper at just $2.5 mil for 1 more year. If he sucks then the Oilers simply don’t re-sign him!I'm not a Predator fan but his value seems hard to guage at this point.
I remember him being highly regarded last year and iirc, valued in the middle of the 1st round to slightly higher.
But his stock has fallen since then, ice time has dropped and never really took next step and solidified himself as a bonafide, impactful top4dman.
If i had to guess, maybe an early to middle 2nd round pick right now if NSH wanted to give him a chance somewhere else.
Just like these “rumors” of him going to Edmontoncorrect me if im wrong but werent there reports of fabbro being on the block last offseason
Um.There is no team in the NHL that would trade for the Nurse contract for peanuts. That contract is so substantially negative value and buyout proof. If Nurse could be dumped for peanuts, he'd have been traded for future considerations long ago.
By all indications I've seen. Drai is not willing to accept any home team discount and the AAV on his next deal will start in the $14s. Which is justified. He's a remarkable player and deserves to be the game's highest paid player at the point in time when Drai inks his next contract. And he will be on that day.
$14MM/per x 8 years would be a huge win for Edmonton. I think the AAV comes in a little higher. Maybe $14.15MM.
Only way not to trade Draisaitl is to deal Nuge for peanuts.

Nuge and Nurse are two different players dawg. Nurse is the grossly overpaid number 4 D on the Oilers.
Why, yes. Yes they are. That was, in fact, exactly my point. You responded to someone suggesting "trade Nuge for peanuts" with "no trade of Nurse for peanuts is possible". I was pointing that out. Because, as you acknowledge here, they're two different players.Nuge and Nurse are two different players dawg.
Then I’d disagree with the idea Nuge would net peanuts in trade. He’s underpaid and would be easy to trade for strong value coming back to Edmonton.Why, yes. Yes they are.

Massive raise? Why do you say this?Problem is he 12 months away from UFA and he will be getting a massive raise from the current 2.5.
that is when he was RFAMassive raise? Why do you say this?
He literally just signed that contract a year ago and didn’t do much of anything last season to earn a raise of any sort….
