A deal for Gibson would probably be like

Gibson @ retention
Dumoulin @ retention

for

EDM 1st 2026
STL 2nd
Arvidsson or Kane

That type of thing. As a seller you know you have to take some salary back, it's how trades in a cap league (NHL, NBA, whatever) end up working.
Works for me, I'd rather get rid of Arvidsson than Kane.
 
Not here he didn't. It is fair to ask if paying significantly more for Trent Frederic, who will probably bolt as soon as the season is over is worth it.
Super short sample size. All the years before and after say differently.

Stuart Skinner looked good in 10-15 games and in some playoff games too.

?? What do you mean? Arvidsson, Kapanen, Janmark, etc. can all be sent out, you could even move Nuge if you really wanted to shake things up.

I'm saying Buffalo has players that could help the Oilers and they definitely sellers.
I was just joking about the cap casualties. I don't think we have the pieces to get someone like Peterka unless Buffalo was drunk that day.

There shouldn't be an issue getting brokers this year with the cap jumping next year (for retentions longer than a year). It helps teams get to the floor. Ek65 for example. A poster here, forgive me I can remember who, posted the idea of the Pens using Columbus as a broker to retain 50% of EK65 to move him to Edmonton. Actual dollars are 3.9, and 3.1. 5M added to their cap. Pens shed salary like they wanted to. Pens should get a shitty return since they are dumping salary- Columbus can get a 2nd from Edmonton for the asset and a 1st from Pittsburgh for taking on their cap dump.
I've been pimping C-Bus as a third party broker since early season looking specifically at them as a vehicle to enable a Karlsson deal. So I agree with what you have posted. However Pittsburg is not going to burn a 1st round pick to flush Karlsson. It would be an unbearable cost for Dougie Howser GM who already got cooked giving up a first to acquire Karlsson and adding on to his contract bungle with Jarry. Penguins will need pick(s) and/or a prospect.

lol, Doogie Howser...I used to love that show!

I agree with you that he is an idiot- but if he wants to shed salary, I'd him who has to give up assets- otherwise they can keep Karlsson and have him take up 10M of cap while they try to fill a ton of holes in Crosby's last year.

Wow, Peterka would be a great pickup. Fellow German who can slot in on Draisaitl’s wing. Has a great shot as well.
Oilers aren't interested unless he is on waivers...just how Boman rolls...waivers or bust
