Proposal: EDM-WPG

[TheNumber4]

As an Oil fan, I’d be curious why the Jets would entertain this? I don’t see how it makes them a better team today, and that should be all they should be concerned with in my opinion. If they’re gonna try and win a cup, this would be the year to try and do it.

I think I would do it as an Oilers fan (other moves would need to be made to be cap compliant), but I’m a fan of both Ehlers and Pionk and only lukewarm on Bouch. He has a great breakout pass/vision and skill, as well as a bomb of a shot, but he takes an equal amount of ill-advised risks and never met a shin pad he could say no to. He also plays with zero ferocity, like every game is the All-Star game.

If Bouch gets north of 8 mil, it will be a regrettable deal.

Welp, someone doesn’t understand the team he watches

No, unfortunately I wasn’t blessed with the expert comprehension you clearly possess. Guess I’ll have to hold out hope they bring back the glowing puck so I can follow the game…. Can’t wait for all those illuminated shin pads Bouch will create.

The brief scouting report you've provided on Bouch isn't entirely wrong. But if you consider trading Bouch and can't see that Bouch (even with his warts) has been that final missing piece (True Number 1 D-man) to make us True Cup Favorites (not just contenders), then yes I question how well you know this Oil team who have been starved for that type of player for a Decade+.

Contractual status of Ehlers and Pionk make this a non starter. And if I’m grabbing a forward from the Jets, Ehlers is way down the wish list.
