So you numbers guys are saying
Klefbom is better than gio
Larsson is better than Brodie
Sekera is better than Hamilton
Fayne is better than wideman
So by your numbers you now have one of the best D groups in the NHL maybe even better than team Canada's D group
If you don't understand what oilerbear is posting about, you could just ask for clarification.
You understand that Boyle and Wisniewski aren't half of what Wideman is offensively right? They also aren't even bottom pairing NHL defenders at this stage. Boyle was by far the worst defenseman on a team with Girardi and Staal. Signing them and playing them makes you worse. They are Nurse bad defensively and only a marginal upgrade offensively.
With either of them you get 20-25 points and replacement level defense. With Wideman you get 40-50 points and 3rd pairing defense. They aren't comparable players. Wideman finished with 56 points and a +6 a year ago playing middle pairing and then top pairing minutes after Giordano got hurt.
Wideman for Ference. Both have 1 year left but at least Wideman might help Edmonton's PP.
I don't mind this idea as long as the Flames retain a couple million

40-50 points?
Could have sworn he had 19 last year. I must have read it wrong.
Klefbom had 12. He must suck too. Or maybe they both didn't play full seasons. Wideman had 56 point the year before and would be by far your best offensive defenseman.
Oilers can sign Wisniewski AND Boyle for less than Wideman.
PLUS lets not do the Flames any favors... even though we do owe them for Smid... and Staois
Why would we help the Oilers out this year by sending them Wideman? Unless they are willing to overpay I would rather keep him for now, let him rack up some points, and then either keep him for a playoff run or deal him somewhere else.
I don't really think Calgary is really in Cap Hell this year or next. Things might be tight with having to resign their two young star players but probably can be worked out easily enough. Even next season with all the UFA's Calgary has and having to resign Elliott and Bennett should be doable.
Dont waste your time with Wideman, go get Wiz for next to nothing.
Absolutely that's an option! Is he willing to play for Edmonton? Or a Canadian team?
If you add him without subtracting who are you sending to the AHL? Nurse or Reinhardt? Are they still waiver eligible?
Not being sarcastic, just asking? Who could you be exposing in the expansion draft on D?
Just asking, not picking a fight!
We don't know if he is willing to play in Edmonton, but he might be getting to the point where it's Edmonton or going over seas. Does Wiz have a history of not wanting to play for a Canadian team?
Ideally, Nurse and Reinhart should start the season in the AHL. Both are still waiver exempt.
Fayne will be exposed because it is expected that he will meet the minimum exposure requirements for games played. Davidson and Reinhart will likely be exposed as well.
Again not trying to pick a fight! Nurse and Reinhardt being waiver exempt definitely helps a lot. Not saying Wiz wont play for the Oilers either, some players wont play in Canada, not trying to start rumors about him.
Will the Oiler have to protect Nurse in the expansion draft?
Sorry so many questions!
Expansion team is gonna get quite a few good players. Not stars, but bet they get a few young guys with lots of potential that blossom. That's not an Oilers rub, many teams are gonna be upset losing a player.
