I like Meier too, just not his qualifying offer. Is he a finisher? I feel like that's what McDavid needs more than anything.Any interest in Meier?

I would say generally he is but he's not found the scoring touch this season as much as hopedI like Meier too, just not his qualifying offer. Is he a finisher? I feel like that's what McDavid needs more than anything.
That deal does work in terms of cap. But do you see any incentive there for Buffalo to do this? Jones is a 7th defenseman, then you are sending two bad contracts for nothing of value. There's no prospect or pick in there that get's Buffalo excited. They are asking for a 1st for Hall alone. Now you're adding their young starter and dumping bad cap on them and sending them a lesser return. They are better off letting Hall walk for nothing than accepting that package.
no thanks, ADA is not a cap dump.
You can have Erik Gustafsson, fresh from weeks in our press box, for a bag of used pucks and some pylons for skating drills.The Bear deal sucks
Yeah you're probably right. It's why the Rangers refuse to play him, won't send him to the AHL, and no teams are lining up for the opportunity to trade for him.
Sophomore slump from the looks of it.Wow what happened to Ethan bear
Yea the chances of that is about the same as Tavares was going to re-sign with the Isle .We are not trading Gaudreau to the Oilers. Get real.
If we did it would severely hurt your team, like Holloway and Broberg.
Personally I still think Gaudreau signs a long term deal in Calgary
Would be the other way around as Gaudreau is constantly cherry pickingCould you imagine Gaudreau feeding the puck to McDavid? It would be pretty special. That being said we would want an A prospect in the deal for sure.
Add in Savoie and I think the Flames consider it.I think most Oiler fans recognize they need a top six LW, a 3C and an upgrade in goal (Koskinen). A 3-4 LHD would also be a great addition but are proving hard to get.
Linus Ullmark (G) pending UFA
Mikko Koskinen (G)
2022 2nd round pick
As unbelievable as it may sound Koskinen would get to submit a 15 team no trade list and Buffalo would have to not be on it. Top dollars, term and a M-NTC. Just chew on that for a minute.
Ryan Getzlaf pending UFA
2023 2nd round pick
Alex Chiasson
Purely a rental for the playoffs Getzlaf would be an ideal addition as a 3C in Edmonton. Getzlaf would have to waive. Chiasson is included for cap purposes to balance things out just until the end of the season. He is then a UFA. Getzlaf then returns to Anaheim for one more year and retires a Duck.
Erik Gustafsson (LHD) (50% retained) pending UFA
Ethan Bear (RHD)
Nice addition to the 2nd pairing for the Oilers, Gustafsson can also play the right side depending on the situation.
This next one is the hardest.
Johnny Gaudreau (LW, one more year left at $6.75 Million)
Kyle Turris (cap dump)
Kris Russell (cap purposes)
2021 1st
2022 1st
Tyler Benson (B Prospect, tearing it up in the minors)
Ironic.We are not trading Gaudreau to the Oilers. Get real.

This is not the year to go for it
Nuge doesn't fit with Connor. He is soft, can't accelerate anymore, and is way to perimeter.Hall fits with Drai. They've played together and had great chemistry. Run a top 6 of:
Nuge-McD-JP
Hall-Drai-Yamo
But I agree, Schwartz would be a great fit. He would also cost significantly more than Hall.
I get where you're coming from with the way cap clears up moving forward, but when we have Drai and McDavid in their mid-twenties, I think we should go for it every year. Tired of waiting to be honest.
If Getzlaf is up for trade I'm sure there will be a team stepping up with more to offer than a 2nd round pick two years from now
I think a 2nd is enough value. Koskinen isn't a terrible goalie if you play him 30ish games a year. The problem is he makes too much money to play 30 games a year.
if he was a cancer and so bad, why did Rangers sign him to 4.8 mil last fall? Makes no sense, does it? Maybe there is a flaw in your theory?
And since then they
1) offered him league wide for free via waivers with no takers
2) told him he’s done with the organization (played his last game)
3) refused to assign him to the AHL squad (despite his request) also didn’t loan him to another AHL team that DeAngelo also requested for playing time
4) been in an altercation with Kreider and Geo
5) Gorton is even on record saying DeAngelo had broken his last straw. That sounds like a player who had issues and had been given chances no?
If NY could undo that contract signing its beyond obvious they would. There’s rumours out there he could be bought out in the off season. Your critical thinking skills need some work
bunch half truths and rumors
None of these deals make any sense.
Buffalo has enough bad contracts. They're going to take a 2nd to give us a solid back-up and eat 5M cap space for 2 more seasons for us? Get real.
Getslaf may not be scoring as much as he used to, but he's sure as hell worth more than a second rounder plus a 4th line winger who can play on the PP.
2 firsts (assume they'd be late ones), a prospect whose offense likely won't convert in the NHL and 2 cap dumps for a first line winger?
What on earth...
