Then the Oilers have to say bye to Bouchard. Can’t have 2 D men making 20M with one of them being Nurse.

So far that’s been a good thing. Loved that trade to get into the 1st round.
Usually cap clearing moves are done before Monday as teams need to know their cap for free agency.

How come he’s an absolute tire fire with Bouchard? He also only played well with Barrie during the weird Covid season, chemistry was completely gone after that.
At a certain point you have to admit it’s not his partners. Guy should be good no matter who he plays with.

I'm here, I'm bored
Some people need to start putting logic before emotion. We are not moving on from Bouch

Best course of action is to find a partner to elevate and develop Broberg and play Nurse less. The stats and odds suggest you would get better results

He can negotiate. Not really an excuse. He had no issues putting his people in certain areas like Pracey bypassing the GM in process.

That's the secret I guess. Only giving big deals to player that actually deserve it. Some teams keep finding ways to fill out their roster. Some teams marry players and get hung up on dreams of what they could be that no one else in the league shares, and throws huge wads of gamble money at UFAs

Yeh reduce his minutes is a plan. But makes his contract even worse. But if it’s untradeable, it’s an irrelevent sunk cost for us anyways and it’s all we can do.

So I guess we should have traded Nurse, Campbell, Kane and Ceci around Game 4 in the SCF? Seriously, we have a couple of days and we will see what is to be done. Keep your panties on.
It gets harder as the draft goes. The picks during the draft seem to be at their highest value. That said,
Campbell will be bought out, Nurse, Ceci and Kane are staying. They have zero interest in moving those guys with how much McDrai like them. Kane is a maybe cause I could see him wanting out. The other 3? No chance.

Okay yes Yzerman has gone FULL BIDEN
"Guess What?" "And you know what?"
Not sure what you mean, I put the logic in the second sentence. I’ll repeat it here in case you didn’t understand. You cannot have Nurse and Bouchard making 20M. If Drai and McD get their reported 14 and 16M that’s 30M. Add in Bouchard’s 10M. That’s 40M. If you add in Nurse’s 9.25M that’s 50M in cap on 4 players- of one which is Nurse. The Oilers absolutely cannot have both Nurse and Bouchard on the backend making that much and expect to round out the D. One of those has to go- and it absolutely should not be Bouchard.

I don’t think anyone is expecting all four of these guys gone lol but I guess I was hoping at least one trade would be completed. Its still early though.
I think Ceci will likely get moved. I agree that there's no shot Nurse is getting moved. I'd rather give him next season to see if he can figure it out. Lots of good defencemen have one year where you're asking yourself what the hell happened to that guy, and then they bounce back. I know I know, many of you think Nurse has sucked for years, but statistically he hasn't. If he get's back to what he was the season before last, no one will be complaining about him.

I hope Jackson wasn’t counting on clearing cap and finding it’s not so easy now. If he had free agency plans that rely on extra cap, then he probably screwed up by not having picks to add in, or having a GM in place for the draft that might have been capable of making these moves.
This draft in my eyes was an important opportunity leading up to free agency, not so much about actually making picks.
It’s still so early and I don’t mind the picks we made, but I’m disappointed so far. Other teams making moves that I really wanted to see, and showing that it is possible.

CJ said, if we don't move him by today, we will 9/10 buy him out tomorrow. Stauffer did say he expects a trade in the next 72 hours to create cap space (he said this last night)
Which means he have to be on waivers today in 10 minutes

Trouba at 5Mish? Hmm. Dude f***in sucks. He’s horrific at Hockey. Worse than Nurse. Don’t know what Yzerman is thinking, he better be paid large in futures.
Thanks. So it’ll happen right away here.
Thanks. Nice, we’ll see some action today/tmrw then.
Lol are we suppose to trade every single pick man? We can't just have a barren prospect pool Look at how Tampa works their team and their prospects. They don't leave it barren. Some of their most important players in the playoffs came from drafting

Doesn’t Campbell have be put on waivers within 9 mins to be buyout eligible? I could be wrong, just something I heard this morning.
