Value of: Functional Toughness to the Oilers

[Bryanbryoil]

Ideally a 3rd or 4th line winger or 2 and maybe a solid #4/#5 RHD. The team is butter soft without Kane and with Brown in the AHL. Bonus points if your team can retain some cap.

Ross Johnston for Perry

Perry is one of our tougher players. How about Derek Ryan or a 5th round pick for Johnston?

 

[MMC]

5th round pick for Johnston?

I would take that

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I would take that

Does he hit much or only fight?

Dysfunctional toughness is where it’s at these days.

Go offer your 2nd and 3rd round picks from the offer sheets to San Jose for Ceci retained at 50%.

If its a goon the Oilers need, I think Deslauriers might be be available.

Ross Johnston too, but I think the ducks want to keep him around as a 13th forward because they have a bunch of kids that need protecting if games start to get chippy

 

[bernmeister]

not seeing immediate fit
no extra Fs w/jam available
Lindgren is 111% good, but he is LD and OP specified RD

How hard were the young guys the Oilers lost to play against? It’s just not possible to replace that. Young guys provide “juice”, especially on nights when the club needs a boost. Call it mental toughness or functional toughness or hard to play against. The nhl is a young man’s game in this way.
I don’t think the Oilers can replace what they’ve lost very easily. Who do they trade that has enough value to bring back this youth?
