Brandon perlini 2.0

Great shot. Works hard. Tweener. Will end up in Europe. He got a nice raise.

He's like a kubalik .. needs top 6 time to excel and offensive players around him. He won't crack oilers top 6 and he won't crack the pp unit. He will get ten minutes or less a night in bottom 6 in spot duty.

 

[Skolman]

I hope he gets a shot this season with big club.

Big kid, who can really shoot the puck and use his size to his advantage.

I'd much rather have him on the ice instead of Perry.

He's almost assuredly going to get waived at some point and a team that isn't exactly set up to compete this season should take a crack at him.

2nd line minutes, powerplay time, see what the kid can do. He can absolutely rip it.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Ok but seriously, does he make the big team or will he get waived?

Waived most likely. There are too many veterans coming back, I would expect only Holloway and Broberg make the team for young guys.

I certainly wouldn't mind if we kept him up to see what he can do though. He's been purcolating in the AHL, and we need to give him a chance to see if he is going to be an NHL player.

Savoie and Lavoie could throw off Jack Michaels

If you have a 2 way you need to clear waivers?

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

If you have a 2 way you need to clear waivers?

A two way contract has nothing to do with waivers. It just means the player will make less money if they play in the AHL/ECHL instead of the NHL like they'll only get 25% of their NHL salary for example.

 

[bucks_oil]

If you have a 2 way you need to clear waivers?

Unrelated. Two-way just means you have a different salary in the AHL vs NHL.

Waiver eligibility has to do with years since you signed an NHL-eligible contract. For 18 year olds, 5 years, 19 year olds 4 years, 20 to 23 year olds = 3 years... then steps down to 2 years for 24 year olds, 1 year for 25+.

Essentially by age 23 or 24 *most players are eligible for waivers. And by 26 everyone is.

Wow I never knew that. I was aware of the salary difference but also thought you could send players up or down as well. Thanks.

It's a very common misconception. I had it myself for a while... I blame EA Sports. They simplified the rule to the way you understand it (two way vs one-way) when implementing waivers in NHL 20XX GM mode.

exactly this.

I remember it coming up in franchise mode a while back and me being like.... that's... not how that rule works

 

[5 14 6 1]

He is a PP contributor, needs to improve on walls and 5v5 to get chance in Edmonton. May get a shot elsewhere if it doesn't work out with EDM this year

 

[CROTT]

Does anyone think Lavioe gets more than an injury fill in cup of coffee this season? The top nine is full and I don’t see much of his skill set other than size translating to the fourth line. And with the recent trades he’s also got stiff competition in being the first call up in the added Savioe and Jarventie.

Top nine next year​

RNH-McDavid-Hyman
Ardvisson-Draisaitl-Skinner
Kane-Henrique-Brown
Janmark possibly in there at times as well.

 

[bernmeister]

There’s a chance that Lavoie sticks around if he can beat out his competition in Bourgault, Hamblin and Savoie, it’s a long shot but there could be an extra forward spot open if Kane goes to LTIR.

Rangers could be interested at right price, here = fair value, not overpay

what is the ask?

Probably a similar level prospect with waiver eligibility? We could really use a forward that can hit and fight to round out our 4th line at some point.

That's my thinking also.
We get a possible pivot a little closer to ready now, you get a comparable F who can stay in the A a year or 2, an asset who competes for your roster then when slots are open.

Pls excuse this is from memory -- what is everybody using since CapFriendly died?

Sykora*
BMB - (Bryce McConnell Barker)**
Laba ***

per data at our fan base site:
* = a 5'10 2nd rounder listed as W, but we see projecting as C also
has advanced very well, rough to play against
** = a 6'2" 3rd round C, on schedule
*** = a 6'2 4th round C, also on sched, shoots R

How about all 3 for Raph and a late 1st? {If you want I'll give you top 24 protected}

somethin like dat..

==============================
remind me to alert you to plans I have to help Ukraine raise funds....

Jaroslav chmelar

that's a reasonable and interesting ask 1:1.
A former 5th rounder but is 6'5 and also doing well

 

[McDoused]

I like Lavoies B game. He's big and can be physical at times. IMO, if Evander Kane is injured to start the season, Lavoie is in the lineup. Perry won't play every night.

I obviously have a Czech bias but you get a near ready NHL guy and we get a project that should be near ready in a year. Pick wise.. Lavoie is a probably a 4th. I think he hit waivers last year and no one took him.

value down since draft day, across the board, if for no other reason diminished elc time

that said, wasn't he drafted higher?
again apologies, what is everybody using instead of CF?

Savoie and Lavoie could throw off Jack Michaels

Very different pronunciation. Lavoie has a French one

Sa-voy (last sound is like why)
La-voaa' (last soind sounds like Patrick Roy)

It sounds to me like Kane is going to start on LTIR which will be a prime opportunity to get Lavoie in his spot for an extended time. They have lots of options to get him some good minutes in the top 9 with quality offensive line mates. If he can show well and put up some points he might force them to keep him in the lineup or he could improve his trade value. He’s huge, decent skater, not overly aggressive physically but he uses his big body well and he’s right handed and can really shoot the puck. If he can put up some decent offensive numbers to start the year, he will garner some interest. If the Oilers can put him in a good position to succeed it could be a good pump and dump opportunity for them.
