[bumperkisser]

lol @ edmonton deal. if that was offered i'd drive to the airport so so so fast

 

[justheducks]

This is the updated deal. I forgot to add Holland, he was part of the original deal but I think the 2nd should be changed to a first.

Hiller
+
Holland
+
2014 1st rounder

For

Yakupov
+
(cap filler) like Petry

 

[Sojourn]

Petry isn't a "cap filler" he's actually a pretty decent defenseman. You have him in there like he's some throw in.

well it seems like a bunch of Hf board Oil fans would disagree. They throw him in nearly ever trade proposal.

That's because the Oilers don't believe in defense.

 

[The Mighty Duck]

Hiller has only a contract for this season, so.... not fair, I guess?

 

[airforceones25]

Lol. That deal is so ridiculous! As Sojourn said Petry is not a throw in or cap filler. Lol

He's probably the Oilers best defenseman which isn't saying a whole lot but he's certainly no throw in. Lol

 

[Sojourn]

From what I've seen, there are even more Oiler fans who think it's ridiculous to trade him. The vocal minority shouldn't speak for the entire fanbase. Petry might be their best defenseman. That's obviously a problem, because while he's a solid defenseman he should never be your best defenseman. But the bottom line is you're throwing him in there like he has no value, and he does.

If Anaheim acquired Petry, we'd probably see him playing with Fowler on the 1st pairing. He's an immediate upgrade over Lovejoy.

Being from the cold north I dont get to see the Ducks play much. Saying that got myself some first row sports and saw the Sens game. Loved Freddie's calm and cool good position game.

How'd he do today overall.

And I get the feeling he inspires more confidence then Hiller or Fasth.

Think he was really good especially in the third.....but im hopelessly biased.

Thanks to get a good opinion....even if it is biased

 

[Sojourn]

I thought he was solid tonight, with some real nice patches. Nothing spectacular, but definitely good.

 

[Unholy]

Couldn't see tonights game but really nice to have him just come up and get 3 wins right off the bat. This experience will be great for him.

Well, we are acting like a bunch of 13 year old girls at a bieber concert in the danish HFboards section

Don't let me bring you down. This is an impressive start for him.

Somebody's going to great traaaaaaded.

It's a matter of time... it'll happen at some point.

My money's on Fasth being gone once he's off the IR. They've been pretty quiet about his status lately, I wonder if he's getting close but they're working on something for him.

You mean as opposed to all the talking they've done about Sbisa?

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Yeah, they've really gotten quiet on that front as well. There was seemingly daily updates on Penner's condition, and nothing about anyone else, other that they're on the road trip.

EDIT-Actually saw Stephens and Wood say on twitter a couple days ago that Sbisa still really isn't close to returning, so maybe that's why there isn't much in the way of updates. 5 days ago they said Fasth was a "couple days away" and ever since the Ottawa game there hasn't been a peep.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Who's still in the market for a goalie? You'd have to think that the price for any of them to Edmonton would be extortionate, because there's no way they want to make the Oilers a legitimate threat with the division as ridiculously tight as it is.

I'd love to pull Smid out of Edmonton for one of our goalies if they are traded, but probably wishful thinking...

I'm pretty certain the Oilers won't be a legitimate threat even with a goalie, and don't really care too much about trading in the division, but I do imagine the Islanders and Penguins both could use Fasth. Carolina possibly, too.

I recall BB telling us in camp Sbisa would be out 2 weeks but the second week was just precautionary. Since then, pretty much nothing. It's beginning to look like last year's Bonino injury all over again. A guy gets hurt and it's like he never played here. Nobody remembers his name. I wonder if Sbisa has to buy a ticket to get into the games?

The team has really clammed up on any info related to injuries. I somewhat understand it, but it would be nice if a 2 month injury wasn't called a 2 week one. Or if guys didn't spend weeks being called day to day.

Mine is on Hiller, simpley because of his contract status. The Ducks have a duo for next season signed. Hiller alone will demand much more than both of them. And personally I don't see why Hiller is so much better than one of them. With his vertigo issues I also don't see him being so stable injurywise.
