What does washington gain from that? They get worse on d and a smaller forward that doesn't play defense. Granted klefbom isn't a stiff at all, but Carlson is better.

Hey. Those Oilers sure did suck today, eh? They just plain sucked. I've seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that I've ever seen suck. I gotta go. The Weiner fans are listening.

Look, the team will be sellers at the deadline and very active with trades at the draft when the deals are better. Free Agency will be fun as well. The way I see it, wholesale changes are needed. I have my preferences .

Pouliot McDavid Eberle
Hall Draisaitl ???2RW???
Kassian ???3C??? Korpokopski
Hendricks Letestu Pakarainen
Khaira
???1RHD Klefbom
Davidson Sekeras
Gryba. Nurse
Reinhart


Talbot
Brossoit

Out: Nugent-Hopkins, Yak City, Purcell, Lander, Schultz, Nikitin, Ferrence
Nillson, Hunt

In ( the fun Part):
2RW: veteran, big, Physical and can score a bit. Someone in the range of Brouwer, Iginla, Doan, ....poop I would almost consider Dustin Brown if the dollars could be played with.But that's the type of tough to play against scoring goals player if you can see what I'm getting at.
3C: Big, Physical, veteran. money on the dot, can score a bit.winner .Fairly inexpensive ( under 4 million). Who is this guy? Gaustad? Can't score. Stoll? Heard he can't score anymore either, but the Stoll of 2013 would have been perfect.Vermette is done. Bozak ?lol.
1RHD: I'm not throwing out names because it's been done to death but we need an absolute General out there.A guy that can control a game, slow it down if need be and shut down the best in the league and transition the puck the other way quickly and effectively. He also has to be able to skate, hit, intimidate , hurt people QB a PP,
And have a canon for a point shot. Too much to ask?

Besides that, as good as they're playing right now, why would you want to mess with it?

man, did the Oilers ever miss the boat on trading Yakupov when he actually had trade value.

And, they also missed the boat HARD on Ryan Murray

Ryan Murray has led the BJ's in ice time the last two games, both 2-1 wins. The Oilers would kill for a defenseman like that right now.

To Arizona: OTT 1st , OTT 1st, Zibanejad

To Edmonton: Oliver Ekman-Larsson

To Ottawa: Ryan Nugent Hopkins

3 chances at Matthews

Murray leading in BJs ?.......

441 points in 480 games, I'd say he's earned it.

Ya, can't see Ari being too excited about this deal.

3 picks (2 additionally) in the top 10 potentially...... along with Zibanejad

would be more added but that's a pretty good chance at Matthews

I think a real but painful option is trading Pouliot, don't see the value in Yakupov right now to gain a notable Top 4 dman. Pouliot was a UFA signing and its like finding free money if you can move him for a decent Dman.

If you draft one of the Finns this year, you have an instant Top 6 replacement in them
- DDM-Coga

interesting ..

Whatever trade they do, they can't be desperate making it, even if its sitting on it until the start of next year, can't give away guy like Nuge unless true value is coming back.

I think the summer will be very interesting trade wise for the Oilers

In 2 whole games??? Well stop the presses! I guess those 2 games makes up for the last 4 years of injury riddled mediocrity.

But giving up OEL

Can't see it, and they already have a shot at him without giving up.

see, this is the problem, you Oiler fans have no idea that defensemen sometimes take a little while to develop

but, actually I just used the last two games as an example, his TOI has been huge for awhile now

keep drafting finesse forwards though

Yes, you sure have it right. I as a fan, was purely in charge of drafting Yakupov.

Great shot

Tavares is sick

Shoulda been stopped tho
- HB77

Taveras=over rated,

I figured.
If that is the case then, Klefbom + Eberle for Johansson and Carlson?
Johansson will greatly help with center depth and Carlson is, like you said, a really great defender.

Would you bite that bullet?

On another side note, someone mentioned vatenen earlier.

Yak + 1st for Vatenen?

Sekera-Carlson
Nurse-Vatenen
Davidson-Gryba

Not bad, not bad at all.
- EdmHockeyMan

What the (frank)?

While we're dreaming here.

I could see Eberle and our first being traded to Washington for Carlson + Johansson.

That could definitely benefit both teams.

Washington would love to have great depth on the wing.

Ovi-Backstrom-Eberle would be amazing.

And if we had drafted him we would have been ripped for drafting injury prone mediocrity and morons like you would have shown up blathering about some other player we should have drafted.

Outscored 13-2 the last two games. People are desperate and drunk. Nothing to see here.
