Rumor: Peter Chiarelli is not done?

[Sweetpotato]

haha I highly doubt that would happen unless those ++'s are HUGE additions

One can dream, if Chia somehow got Landeskog and didnt sign Lucic I would bow down and polish his shoes lol

 

[Kalost]

TSN they are saying that Barrie to Oilers could happen. Said that they will have to give up one of the top forwards and a dman.... RNH/Eberle and Nurse??? who knows

Fayne would be the guy

 

[scrubadam]

People defending this trade as a win-win for both teams are out of their minds. Edmonton got the short end of the stick. Did Edmonton desperately need to acquire a D, yes but not at the expense of your 2nd best player or 1st before Mcdavid arrived. Larsson's not even a top pairing D don't get me wrong he's not bad but c'mon. If I'm an Oilers fan I'd be downright pee'd off. At the very least it should have been Larsson + high pick/top prospect
Edmonton should have traded Eberle + for Larsson as that makes more sense
I'm of the belief there would have been other teams that would made better offers for Hall 100%. I would have offered Edler/ Hansen + Pick for Hallsy

This is the thing what people want on a message board doesn't always match with reality. NJ wanted Hall they weren't moving. They didn't want to add and EDM wanted Larsson.

At the end of the day does PC walk away from the trade over the ++ that's missing and not get his player?

All posts on these boards about trades show how different GMs and fans think. Fans care about value and getting one over on the other GM. The GMs care about getting he player they want. If it's not maximum value who cares as long they get there player. Larsson with nothing else added is better for PC then no Larsson at all.

This. When it came down to it, Chiarelli wanted Larsson, and if he thought he could replace Hall (somewhat) in free agency, that makes it quite a bit more palatable.

If Edmonton makes the playoffs before Jersey, then I think people's minds will change. Though on the other hand, if Hall makes it to the playoffs before the rest of the team does - that definitely won't sit well with Oiler fans.

 

[OilTastic]

I'd be fine with Eberle+Nurse, but if it's RNH+Nurse for an RFA I'll be livid, unless it's RNH+Nurse++ for Landeskog+Barrie.

oooooooooo....Landeskog + Barrie would be sweet !!!

 

[KingWantsCup]

Got to think Edmonton will get another defenseman. Barrie would be a good fit for them.

In b4 McDavid for Barrie

 

[ovikovy817]

Lucic with Oilers per RDS

 

[CaptainMalkin]

Chiarelli looks to be winning so far.

Hall - > Lucic and Larssony.

Now waiting where Demers signs.

 

[Why]

Hall - > Lucic and Larssony.

Now waiting where Demers signs.

Serious????? We are finally building a real team not just a bunch of flashy wingers. I was happy with just Larsson over Hall, now Lucic Plus Larsson and who knows what else!!!!! So pumped

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

Hall - > Lucic and Larssony.

Okay, so now qualify that? Same AAV, 55 vs. 65 points. Lucic bigger, stronger, a better physical player. Changes the blend substantially.

Add in Larsson and it's a net win.

 

[Snowman]

I hope Chia's not done. With his NHL 16 trading and FA signing strategies, this will be a great offseason!

I don't usually tweet hockey but hearing major deal between Oilers and avs is extremely close. Should be done in next 48 hrs. #barrie

 

[Stuzchuk]

Take Ceci out... Not for trade. They will have Phaneuf exposed next summer

 

[McDavyCrockett]

I would honestly even take Phaneuf at this point if it meant the Sens take back Fayne's contract.....at least Phaneuf is a top-4 guy.

Not sure if the Sens have any interest in that though.

I heard chia is closing in on a deal that would send RNH to florida in exchange for next year's 5th round pick and a 5 pound bag of miami beach sand

In other news, NYI still the same mediocre team they were last year

well FA didnt even start yet so thats debatable..

Tough day for NYI...
Out - Martin, Nielsen, Okposo
In-Ladd

Anyways the Oilers should make an offer of RNH + Davidson for Barrie + Comeau or Avs 2017 2nd. Sign Barrie for $33-36/6.

Lucic-McDavid-Eberle
Pouliot-Draisaitl-Yakupov
Maroon-Comeau-Puljujarvi
Pakarinen/Hendricks-Letestu-Kassian

Klefbom-Larsson
Sekera-Barrie
Nurse/Reinhart-Fayne

Talbot
Gustavsson

Expansion, 8+1 = Sekera (NMC), Klefbom, Larsson, Barrie, Lucic (NMC), Eberle, Draisaitl, Pouliot/Reinhart + Talbot

 

[The Merchant]

oooooooooo....Landeskog + Barrie would be sweet !!!

lol would take a whole helluva lot more than that to pry those two from the Avs. Should probably just focus on a deal for Barrie.

Seriously? This is soooo bad... you deserve any pain the Avs fans hand you

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

Are the Avs a better team after:

-Trading Landeskog and Zadorov for Fowler and Ritchie
-Moving Duchene to LW full-time
-Trading Barrie for RNH
-Signing Demers

?

DUCHENE ($6M) MACKINNON ($6M) IGINLA ($5.3M)
COMEAU ($2.4M) NUGENT-HOPKINS ($6M) GRIGORENKO ($2.5M)
COLBORNE (2.5M) SODERBERG ($4.75M) RANTANEN (0.9M)
MARTINSEN ($0.6M) MITCHELL ($1.8M) MCLEOD ($1.3M)
GRIMALDI ($0.925M) NANTEL ($0.68M)

BEAUCHEMIN ($4.5M) JOHNSON ($6M)
FOWLER ($4M) DEMERS ($4.5M)
TYUTIN ($2M) WIERCIOCH ($0.8M)
BIGRAS ($0.84M)

VARLAMOV ($5.9M)
SMITH ($0.6M)

Pennies for cap space- okay, $31K to be exact- but the D is a helluva lot of deeper and the centers remain very, very strong.

We traded Hall. We arent trading away our 1st overall 2 way center in RNH. At 23 he is the most experienced center we have. Draisaitl is 20 and Mc David is 19.

Let the Avs re sign Barrie. We arent paying them premium assets to save them the pain of overpaying the guy.

 

[Barness01]

Is there a deal to be had around Nurse and Shattenkirk? Maybe Nurse+Yak+pick/prospect
