Agreed on the oilers not getting a kings ransom to trade down a few spots.
Pysyk is probably the caliber of player they could expect at best. That said, they've already got Brandon Davidson, so I'm not sure pysyk really fills a huge need

As far as the forward picks over the last while, easy pachla....
since 2010 there was really only one defender that was a rational pick at the spot they picked, but went with the forward instead.
Murray over yaks. And even then, the guys been a bandaid for most of his first few years and would've made no appreciable difference in their fortunes thus far.
Mayybbee larsson over nuge, but the same can be said about he difference hedve made thus far. Plus, they needed a 1c every bit as bad as a defender at that point.

Guys like trouba and Lindholm really weren't on the radar for those top picks. Hindsight doesn't really work in those cases imo.


Also, they've actually picked 2 defenders in this time frame in the first round. Nurse and klefbom.
Just sayin

True.... I think my biggest problem is that they have absolutely THROWN THEM TO THE WOLVES expecting 22 minutes a night. Sekera and Ference among others should be taking that and the kids getting 17-19 IMO.

Not me

I would swallow that in a heartbeat.

I didn't know you could buy a guy

Was one of the better to follow after that

And blow his brains out. Must be a Cali thing .

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I thought you were referencing Girgensons with that comment.

Okay we good fam.


Yes I think that Foligno has been a ghost for the majority of the past few seasons but kicks it on the last 15 games or so to make a good appearance going into the off-season. Some have said that a shoulder injury really sidetracked his career.
- JVince11

He's on my players I want gone list I think he needs to be in A different organization
Like maybe the Kings then maybe he will turn it back on being in this losing environment changes people

Sounds like negotiating rights for Alex Goligoski on the move to Arizona."


Crap....

Goligoski rights traded to the Yotes

I would swallow that in a heartbeat.

If I ever said that you guys would have me in the fetal position every day

Goligoski rights traded to the Yotes

So he could say no

D Goglioski's rights being traded to ARZ for negotiations.


That'll hurt a bunch of your scenarios.

Good move for AZ. I think you will see another move by them like this to acquire another player.
They will also acquire Datsyuk contract and Tartar, IMO.

He must like his Analytics

just checking, has anyone heard anything about Goligoskis rights being traded?

Speaking of Detroit...

I heard they migh tbe willing to move Nyquist at the right cost with how strong Larkin was and how high they are on Mantha.

I have an hour till I get home .

Would anyone do Pysyk for LAK's Mersch and probably a pick?


They have a glutton of LW but need Defensive depth... we have Pysyk who doesn't seem to fit. Mersch would still be expansion protected. He potted 24 goals in the AHL last year and 22 the year before. 23 years old. 1 more year at 787K before RFA

6'2 218lbs

Don't know a ton about him outside of stat line and some headlines. Anyone?
- JVince11

thats what she said

- DDM-Coga

I think it was "That's what HE said "

Bickell 1 year left on the contract. I would have swallowed that in a heart beat. His money goes to resign TT next offseason.
- RhinoFan

If you're the sabres and you acquire bickell this offseason, imo your not giving much hope on the playoffs. I think TT is a bit overrated.

Chatting w/ Bernstein on Twitter.

He said maybe Tanner Pearson in exchange for Pysyk would be a fitting scenario. Both one more year til RFA. 1.8M for Pearson right now.

Netted 15 goals and 36 pts last year in 79 games on what I'd guess is their 3rd line.
