Speculation: The All Encompassing Edmonton Oilers Thread

[Stickpucker]

10/10 response. Seriously.

Slavin is a fantastic defenseman, but no GM would turn down that deal. Not even Mike Milbury.

If it's something Milbury would do....don't you want to do the opposite?

 

[T-Funk]

I'd consider Nurse for Aho and Slavin if Carolina retains a bit.

 

[Stickpucker]

There isn't a single team in the NHL with the assets needed to acquire Slavin.

Any trade to acquire Slavin would leave the team's asset cupboard so barren and lineup so weak that you would expect the franchise to fold entirely.

However, Slavin counters that. Opponents simply cannot score goals. You win the Stanley Cup. And the next one. And the one after that. Seats are packed on a nightly basis. Dynasty.

No no no....no one's watching because the games are all boring 1 - 0 wins.

People show up to see 10-2 blow outs.

 

[Mobiandi]

This trade sends Edmonton into the abyss for the next 30 years lol

 

[Stickpucker]

You simply must be a casual who does not value defensive play if you would trade THE Jacob Slavvin for Connor McDavid (who??).

Exactamente.

Leaf have not seen defense enough to qualify to speak on.

They know many how to score goals.

Record number of games 4+ goal against.

@avgard will professor it for you.

 

[thaman8765678]

This might be a crazy opinion, but I don't see why Carolina does this trade. They are trying to win now, and McDavid really isn't a playoff player with lack of back checking.

I would rather have the combo of Aho and Slavin for a playoff run.

 

[Jerkbait]

No lol

There's no assets in the league that is worth McDavid on a one-for-one Trade, besides maybe Bedard

Slavin is a solid defenseman, but this take is mindblowingly bad

Ummm...a young team.id a different stage would perhaps disagree. I would entertain a proposal for Makar, or Jack Hughes if my team was still 4 to 5 years away . Currently mcdavid isn't player like a top 20. Alot depends on contract value as well, although mcdavid is good .
Other players proposals that would be interesting would Q huges, Matthews Mackinnon .

I don't dialsagree with your assessment but Carolina makes this deal with ease amd really no explanation is needed.

 

[Jerkbait]

Both teams spinning tires here just for the sake of making a deal. Teams dont win cups by trading away mcdavid types..in fact it hasn't happened in the modern NHL. Pittsburgh didn't win because jarg was traded. The closest examples would.be huberdeau/ MT, or Weber and PK. Didn't result in a cup for anyone. If I was Edmonton, the player I want is Jake ott..

You can take all those proposals to the Shredder .

 

[ole ole]

I'd consider Nurse for Aho and Slavin if Carolina retains a bit.

Would 15% retained on both Aho and Slavin be enough or would more be needed?

 

[Peasy]

Surprised this was made by a Bruins fan tbh.

Liked what someone else in here said, RNH might appear to be a better fit than Hyman. Can move between wing/c, good on the PP, locked up to a really cheap contract for long. But that would force edmonton to pretty much always need Drais centering his own line so who knows if they'd do it.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

As a Bruins fan no thank you to any of those proposals.

 

[Stickpucker]

Or just plain homers. Either way or for what ever reason it's pretty embarrassing .

I agrees with this generational poster.

I thinks they doing it out of spite.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Counter offer:

To BOS: RNH

To EDM: Ullmark

Nice and simple, fits the needs of both teams, works with the cap.

Nuge NTC gets in the way

 

[Stickpucker]

OP had a proposal and question worthy of discussion. This thread went off the rails with some very silly "wouldn't trade McD for Slavin straight up" buffoonery.

It would make the Canes better. McDavid's game-breaking ability would more than compensate for what they would lose off the back end, where they'd remain quite strong.

Slavin would give the Oilers two solid defenders with him and Ekholm. Big improvement. It does nothing for their goaltending woes though.

The Oilers trade their all-world, generational center, who could well end up one of the all-time greats, for two top-quality players, but still leave a gaping hole in their roster. The value is at least debatable, but it just wouldn't make sense for them.

Decent goalies aren't hard to find.

Look at Colorado, Caroline, Vegas....you don't need to spend 10m for a Russian cyborg goaler.

Whoever is back there would look a lot better behind Slavin and Ekholm.

 

[Pantokrator]

Nuge would want to be traded to a contender I would think. He would have a better chance to the the number 1 center and play with wingers like Pasta and Marchand.

If I am Edmonton though, I would want more assurance. Maybe a second round pick.

Ullmark for Hyman good trade. But doubt Bruins have caproom.

I can't see RNH as a 1C tbh. I'm a huge fan but he's a 2C or 1W.

FTR.. I didn't think Zacha could do it either so take my view with a grain of salt.lol

 

[Stickpucker]

Edmonton would get much, much better offers than this.

What does Toronto, Montreat, NY, or Vancouver offer up for this?

Does it make them better?

 

[dugg133]

Being able to swap between Swayman and Ullmark every game leads to more wins then having Zach Hyman, bruins say no.

 

[belair]

Boston Ullmark or Buffalo Ullmark?

 

[34]

A Vezina winning goalie for.....Hyman? And Boston is ADDING? wut?

I know right. What a joke.

No team is going to do Edmonton any favors.
