is there any world where we would have the assets to grab Marchenko from CBJ?

Nope

This is the type of young player EDM should be going after, Howard, 1 2028 plus what. He is young and in out top 6 would have 3 young players. Podz, Savoie Marchenk. Then at the deadline they can look for 3 line players

I wonder once Tuch goes (if Tuch goes) will we see another furry of deals?

 

[Spawn]

Washington could be one of the teams offersheeting the top RFA Cs if they sign Tuch. Which instantly make them contenders again

They don’t have their 2027 3rd round pick. That means they’d be limited to offering someone between ~2.2M and ~4.7m (2nd round pick compensation) or someone over ~12M (4 first round picks). All the other offer sheets require a 3rd to be included. And they wouldn’t have room for a 12M RFA if they sign Tuch

Ullmark no thank you too many issues from last year. He has not proven anything the last few years.
Markstrom no he is sinking bad

Salary wise he would be a perfect fit. Great production for what he makes. Probably worth a lol though

I know its been beat to death, but Howard for O'Reilly seems to have been a really unnecessary move and kinda kneecaps us. Everyone wants a responsible RHC; few want to take gambles on small scoring wings who havent yet made the leap.

I think Ike has some solid potential, but just not as liquid of a trade asset, if that makes sense.

Markstrom, Binnington, Jarry were all bad last year, I guess you would be banking on a change of scenery type thing.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Thats a shame. No Nurse to SJS then.
Maybe TML will be interested in him now.

That was tweeted 3 hours ago

Ullmark has a career save % of .914. What re you even talking about

What was tweeted out 3 hours ago? I dont think Nurse has said anything about San Jose

Savoie would have to be part of the deal

 

[North]

Why aren't we trying to get Nurse out there more

Nurse has only given a list of three teams at this point.

 

[North]

I wish Nurse was amenable to SJ because I think he’s better than Reilly but at this point he wants the East.

 

[foshizzle]

Dont think 8 years is an option for anyone anymore

It is. New CBA doesnt kick in until September

Darryl Catz is on it

 

[CupofOil]

Nurse for Tippett and call it a day

I'll say what I said yesterday. Boy are you guys in for a major hurting if this is what you expect the Nurse return to be. It's more likely to be Seeler or Ristolainen than Tippett and that's only if the Oilers retain.

Big kinda kitten.

He doesnt want to go to Toronto. Nurse may have f***ed himself over. Oh well, if he stays, Oilers can ship him to Columbus next season

 

[Wreckus]

 

[CupofOil]

Basically Risto will give you nothing more than Nurse as far as quality of defense but atleast would be cheaper

That's the entire selling point really. If the Oilers can get Risto without retaining that's a pretty big win but I think it would take retention to get that return.

 

[Tarus]

Good news

That rules out Ristolainen to Edmonton in a Nurse deal

 

[CupofOil]

Is Risto going to give you more than Emberson to be worth costing four times the price though?

Yes he would take the enormous weight of Nurse's contract right off the Oilers backs.

Trading Nurse for a worse version of Nurse at a slightly cheaper price would be peak stupidity.

Slightly cheaper? They'd clear over $4m in cap space this offseason then $9.25m per year the next 3 years lol. They'd basically get out of the contract scot free and even add a decent Dman for one year.

My final roster prediction for the week ahead:

-Nurse for Seeler (props to Bowman if he can extract a late pick out of PHI here too but not holding my breath)
-2nd 2026 for Cossa (signed $1.5M/2 years)
-2nd 2027 and 3rd 2026 for DeBrusk and a 5th
-Dach extended $1.25M/2 years
-Mikheyev signed $4.25M/5 years

Team keeps 1st 28 + Howard, both valuable trade chips for a goalie if (when) they need one still come Dec/Jan, and runs with:

RNH-McDavid-Hyman
DeBrusk-Drai-Savoie
Pod-Dickinson-Mikheyev
Dach-Samanski-Frederic
Janmark

Ekholm-Bouch
Walman-Murphy
Seeler-Emberson
Regula

Jarry
Cossa

$1.5 mill cap still, so $3M for a goalie upgrade at the deadline ($8M total when Jarry is included)

That's something, can't say I'm excited for this group.
