Proposal: Klefbom at 50% for Pokka+Gustafsson+

[RememberTheRoar]

CHI: Oscar Klefbom with 50% retention ($2,083,500)

EDM: Ville Pokka, Erik Gustafsson, one more player (choice of: TVR, Gustav Forsling, Michal Kempny, or Ryan Hartman)

Chicago is willing to pay handsomely for seven years of a cost-controlled top-4 defenseman.

Edmonton sacrifices a little quality in exchange for quantity. Pokka, Gustafsson, Kempny, and TVR are all at least bottom-pairing right now; Pokka, Forsling, and Kempny could turn out to be a top-4 defenseman.

I'm pretty sure both fanbases will hate this proposal, but we'll see.

This is beyond terrible for the oilers.

We dont need to do a quality for quantity trade.

I'm pretty sure you made this post to get an uproar from both teams fans.

 

[Sarcastic]

We can't let Edmonton have a defense for once.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

This is one of the worst proposals I've seen lately. This is absolutely terrible in value for Edmonton.

Klefbom is a 23 year old top 4 defenceman. On a 7 year 2 million dollar contract makes him worth a lot more than a few not-elite prospects

 

[ResilientBeast]

So, we're retaining on our best/second best defenseman who is definitely a 2D right now for a bunch of bottom pairing guys?

 

[Frank the Tank]

It looks like there once again is no room for Pokka in Chicago with Kempny, Rozsival, and TVR ahead of him for a bottom-pairing spot. The Oilers (and other teams) can just wait a see if Pokka becomes disgruntled about having to report to Rockford again.

he doesn;t get paid 2 million dollars a year. It's something liek 3.5 or 4. But the deal is terrible for the oilers.

The OP is suggesting Edmonton retain 50% of Klefbom's contract

That's not Chicago paying handsomely. There's no way Edmonton does that deal. Like at all.

Chicago can add more then, what would it take?

 

[McWeber]

Terrible proposal, Oilers didn't sign Klefbom for 7 years just to retain money and trade him for lesser players.

 

[McWeber]

Klefbom at 50% for Keith.

No. The proposal is just ignorant. The Oilers have enough prospect depth on D.

 

[A91]

Lock it up

 

[PuckG]

Nothing. This makes no sense. The Oilers have needed quality defenseman for years, and when we finally have one, we're supposed to trade him away?

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Klefbom at 50% for Keith.

Klefbom is a second-pairing, is he not? I made this proposal working off that premise. Looks like I severely undervalued Klef, apologies Oilers fans.

 

[snipes]

Not even close. At all.

 

[PuckG]

Klefbom was a #3, possibly a #2 that was trending up very well. Not interested in bottom-pairing defenseman who may or may not become top four defenseman.

Oilers are not trading klefbom and they are certainly not retaining on one of their top pairing dmen.

He's a borderline 2, making EDM retain 50% is adding insult to injury. You don't get a top pairing potential guy signed for 2 million for that crap

 

[SB84]

Can you imagine Edmonton paying half of Kelfbom's salary for the next 7 years only to have him not play on their team haha. This proposal is so so sooooo bad.

 

[A91]

He's a #3/2 dman currently. Thing is our biggest need is on D, so why would we trade one of our best D for prospects? Especially when we have Nurse and Reinhart who are both better than Pokka waiting in the AHL. Only way we trade Klef is for an upgrade on D.

 

[Jumptheshark]

50% retention makez it 2 mill a year. The wheels in edmonton fell off when klefbom got injured last season. If the oilers got drunk and retained 50% they could get more then offered

 

[ResilientBeast]

Edmonton needs to trade for D, trade one of your top pairing D for bottom pairing D
