I have no idea who this guy is.

Also, I completely forgot we had Chia's' son

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Weird, I thought Jarventie was progressing quite well for them.

That's a weird one. It's rare we see pure prospect swaps.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Outta nowhere

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Change of scenery trade. Neato. Hopefully it works out for everyone

 

[Hockeyville USA]

That's a weird one. It's rare we see pure prospect swaps.

Reminds me of Werek for Lindberg and Thomas for Kristo

 

[Bounces R Way]

Definitely one of the moves of all time

That Bourgault pick never made much sense to me.

 

[Draiskull]

Staios must have liked the 2 EDM prospects

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Jarventie will likely miss training camp and will require waivers the following year. I see this as Staois mitigating a bit of that risk

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Jackson has so much dirt on the league from being an agent. Idk why Ottawa does this man.

In reality though I love when a non retread hire comes in and wheels and deals. Just shows you some of these GMs are dinosaurs and you can make a bunch of moves.

Is Jarventie or Bourgault the superior prospect at this point?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Interesting trade. Jarventie looks like he's progressing better than Bourgault is and Chiasson gets dealt for a do-over 4th round pick.

I think Edmonton is trying to make sure that if Savoie doesn't make the team he's got weapons to work with in Bakersfield.

Is Jarventie or Bourgault the superior prospect at this point?

Jarventie by a good bit. Bourgault doesn't look anything resembling a first rounder at this point.

 

[Three On Zero]

Bourgault was always a terrible pick. At least they are cutting him loose now before he has no value

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Is Jarventie or Bourgault the superior prospect at this point?

No?

 

[Giggleplex]

Oilers don't have many LW prospects (and too many RW) so seems like a good move.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Oilers don't have many LW prospects (and too many RW) so seems like a good move.

Jarventie has mostly been a C over the last year and a half fwiw

 

[swiftwin]

Oilers don't have many LW prospects (and too many RW) so seems like a good move.

Jarventie has been playing center the last season or so.

 

[stempniaksen]

Staois and company putting their stamp on Belleville as well as Ottawa.

Jarventie was starting to put it together in Belleville but still seems like a longshot to make a dent at the NHL level so the Sens take a chance on a couple of guys with slightly longer waiver eligible timelines. Jackson must see something in Jarventie but he'll have to overcome injuries.

One knock on Bourgault has been he has been able to get use to big city life, going to Belleville might help get him back on track if he doesn't have to worry about the big city life part of it.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

No?

Jarventie could have gone pointless in 33 straight games and still tied Bourgault in points.

Now, Colin Chaulk (Edmonton's AHL coach) is extremely conservative and defensive minded so D and goalies look good but forwards look like ass, but Jarventie is the best piece in this deal today.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Definitely one of the moves of all time

That Bourgault pick never made much sense to me.

Bourgault was ranked in that range and was one of the few who had a decent sample size that year and years prior, due to the Q playing and he being a late birthday (thus the extra year of junior). I tend to give most scouting staffs some slack for the 2021 COVID Draft

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Jarventie has been playing center the last season or so.

we don't have much for C prospects in the system either so that works.

Another knock on him is that he went one pick before Wyatt Johnston

Even if he makes the Sens, he won't exactly be playing in a big market.
