GDT: Trade Deadline - Trade Eatin' SZN

[Soundwave]

Holland has completely turned the speed issues of the team on its head completely in under a year. Have to give him props, the speed we can throw out there now is insane.

 

[Frank the Tank]

They're not going to break up the DRY line for a long time unless it struggles for long stretches of games.

It's the DYNamite line. One can't be wildly switching first and last names in one's acronym.

 

[Cloned]

Benning and Marody for Hoffman is as minor as Crosby for Ovechkin.

I didn't say Benning was involved.

Hm. Nick Cousins went for a 4th as well to our divisional rival. That's a deal I would've made. Nick Cousins would be a good bottom 6 player for us. Much better than the junk we have down there now. I guess there's so many moving parts at this time of year it may be difficult to take count of all the stock.

It definitely stings a bit though that Vegas added some good pieces as well. Looks like it's going to be us, them, and Van battling for 1st.

If they really wanted to, they now have winger depth to go to the 3C deployment

Athansiou McDavid Neal
Yamamoto Draisaitl Kassian
Ennis RNH Chiasson
Archibald Sheahan Haas

For example. Not saying that should be the regular rotation but it's now an option Tippett has.

What about when Nygard comes back? The management team really likes him.
When healthy I see chaison as the 13th forward

posted this last night after reading cap panic and same old omg sky is falling after Green trade . Gm's always find a way and common sense needs to applied

 

[Cloned]

Damn, I liked Persson.

 

[Paralyzer]

I didn't say Benning was involved.

Oh 1 for 1. I see. Just like Hall for Larsson

 

[The Safe Play]

I like Persson tbh.

 

[Cloned]

Holland is live now.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Bummer. Persson got a raw deal here IMO.

 

[Mez]

Persson for a forward prospect would make sense.

 

[AUAIOMRN]

It's the DYNamite line. One can't be wildly switching first and last names in one's acronym.

Which is why it's the NuDY line.

 

[Cloned]

Oh 1 for 1. I see. Just like Hall for Larsson

Now you got the spirit.

 

[joestevens29]

Khaira can at least PK. If Gagner isn't scoring he is pretty bad.

Have no issue with him being the extra forward. He's had some times where he shows not too bad and can at least PK.

As much as I like Gagner as a person, he's just not doing enough for us this year.

With Markstrom gone, I think Vancouer will fall out.

Yeah, having both Neal and Chiasson seems redundant.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Persson for a forward prospect would make sense.

Or LHD who could play minutes in a pinch.

 

[yukoner88]

Admittedly, it is a bit disheartening that Calgary got Gustafsson for a 3rd, and we might be paying Green a 3rd if he plays in enough games. Other than that, everything went wonderfully today.

Calgary sucks so you can always have peace in that

what happened with him? I haven't seen anything posted

Holland in the last 24 hours:

Oilers fans today:

Missing a #3C? I guess Sheahan would have to do.

I'm fine with Sheahan and Haas. Both guys are responsible and can bring things to this team like PKing and drawing penalties while being capable of chipping in. When you have McDavid-Draisaitl as 1 and 2 you don't need an elite 3C, a really good checking C like Sheahan is just fine. I also think a 4th line of Ennis-Haas-Chiasson/Neal/Kassian in the playoffs could be a really effective 4th line that could do very well against depth players. This team has an awesome top end up front if AA fits in and great depth.

 

[Senor Catface]

I kind of wish we gave Persson more of a chance for next year, but I guess we'll see what we get in return. Could have been a request from the player/agent.

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Lol Spector just got scolded by Holland. "Ask that for Tippett tomorrow."

 

[Cloned]

Likely traded.
