Waived: [EDM] Josh Brown, Drake Caggiula, Raphael Lavoie, and Olivier Rodrigue waived by the Oilers

Edmonton might be in trouble early season just like last year, that bottom 4 D is not playoff caliber. I understand trades are down the line, but let’s hope it can hold the fort until reinforcements come. Not to mention if they get in injury trouble…

 

[Three On Zero]

Rangers offer Lindgren + 2026 and 2027 3rds
for
Raph Lavoie + EDM 2026 + 2027 2nds

helps w/stopgap D this yr, tho he is lefty shot
and you will have to juggle some cap

OR, just take Lavoie for free?

cap says hi
although for min $ it's a good suggestion

They have 600k in cap, just claim him and send someone else down. He’s only got a cap of 775k.

Rightfully I don’t know the Rags cap situation but they must have someone they can send down in his place? Lavoie was decent in camp so I doubt he gets traded if he clears without an overpayment

We should grab him and sort it out later but Rs do need to move out a body if they add
Rs should sell Lindgren + Vesey

Oilers are not touching a 4.5 million cap hit and then give up better picks , make your trade offers realistic

 

[La Bamba]

I would be shocked if any of them get claimed

Bottom 6 wasn't playoffs caliber last year either but did alright.
Nurse, Kulak and Emberson are good 4,5,6. They are just missing a 2nd pairing Dman better than Ceci, Stecher or Desharnais.

Hey, they ARE realistic
You are ignoring that while Raph L has possible upside, he is not commanding anything in 2 years since his draft

Lindgren was worth more, w/wear and tear, I would say he is now worth 2 2nds [ish]
To reflect you taking on 4.5 cap which was not a dump b'c you can use a functionally productive backliner, I threw in 2 3rds same year.

If you don't want Lindy, and you should b'c other than being a lefty shot he is a good stopgap for you this year, fine, just advise.

We will sell him and Vesey elsewhere, which is something Rs should be doing anyway and just claim RL.

I would be shocked if any of them get claimed

Some clubs are a little pivot thin, otherwise concur

Just hope they don’t get some key injuries on defence..
