For a guy that values advanced stats, Scott Cullen is (frank)ing lost when it comes to trading... Puljujarvi+ for Faulk and Klefbom for Burakovsky

I guess he's at least trying to be within the realm of what Chiarelli might actually do.

Sounds like time for a cap relief trade for the Oilers. If you call Ray he’ll take Larsson back cheap.... but seriously try to move Lucic...or something.

(frank) you... lovingly, of course

Scott Cullen is to trade proposals as Adrian Dater is to approaching women on Twitter.

All I want Chia to do is have a good draft. No more retarded trades or brutal UFA signings.
Not a unicorn post at all, but if we have a healthy defence and gamble on a youngster breaking out on Leons wing, and Talbot has a good season that should be enough. I’m not optomistic any or all of that will happen but if it does we have a shot at the playoffs. I have zero confidence that the sh!tstain can do anything that both helps the team today and puts us in a good spot for the expansion draft.

And the end of the day I expect to have another poopty year of Oilers hockey.

I thought Larsson played on the top d pair.

Just because he plays there doesn’t mean he belongs there.

Severson for Klefbom.

I wonder if any of those (frank) faced trolls are gonna show up today? Sure hope so

Yup. More important is ditching one of the NMC clauses prior to the Seattle draft.

Severson for Klefbom.

Nielsen for Zajac.

I don't think Sekera needs protected. A Russell buyout by then is completely plausable. Lucic is the only real anchor.

It's at the point where I just should make a document that references all the "anti Chiarelli" comments with pre-written responses.

Lucic signing sucks refer to article 1.5.

Russell signing sucks refer to article 2.7

Larsson is a slightly better version on Fayne... Refer to idiot clause 7.4.1.

So old and tiresome. Can't tell if sensationalism writing or just fanatical negativity. This coming from a person who certainly sees a lot of negative in many different situations.

On the actual new and somewhat interesting part of the blog. Klefbom and the tenth for Risto.

I find the proposal very interesting.

Klefbom 2 years ago is certainly better than Risto. Pretty much every other year including this last one Risto is clearly the superior defenseman. AND. He is a right shooting puck moving defenseman that would pair well with everyone in our leftorium of defenders.

Klefbom for Risto one for one would be an easy trade to get behind. Cap management would be difficult indeed but also "should" be "possible" without having to move a player like RNH.

As for Klefbom AND the 10th OA. That becomes a slippery slope. I think there is no question in value that Klef and the tenth for Risto is an overpay. Much like the Hall for Larsson trade was clearly an overpay on paper.

The tenth OA in this draft is no where near as valuable as the "Barzel" pick was in that draft. The tenth pick is right at the very end of a very significant drop of talent. A well defined lower tier in the draft. The Oilers most likely will not get to pick in this position so much as wait and hope someone they like falls to them.

I personally believe the Oilers need to draft with the 10 OA this year. Thier prospect pool and cap management situation demands cheap homegrown talent and there is no other way to build this team IMO.

But yet... I am not a fan of Risto but even I have dreamed of a Nurse Risto pairing.

Neither Nurse nor Risto are even remotely close to being good enough to gamble on that pairing carrying the Oil to a cup but it certainly is tantalizing.

In short (lol) I would be against a Klefbom + 10 for Risto but there is a certain appeal to the deal. If Chiarelli could somehow also move out say Russell to free up cap space for some forward help as well... That would be impressive. Or if Buffalo still has thier early 2nd rnd pick a swap of Klefbom + 10 for Risto + 32? In this draft would at least be "ok" in terms of value. That's assuming at ten they will miss out on someone from that second tier of talent.

Such a trade unfortunately does sound like Chiarelli. An overpay, not as gross as exaggerated, to fill a short term need.

These other small deals hoping for a home run are the best way to go right now. Combined with drafting and development.

Suck it Jero

Im BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I’d love to trade you guys Myers for anything, the Jets can not take any salary back. The one team who has cap space and is looking to make changes is Carolina. Carolina can help you with a D and you may be even be able to convince them and Lucic to be a part of the deal? Just a thought

Carolina is in a odd spot. They have items they can move from all facets of the team. But they in noway would be taking back a bad contract. That team is working from strength. They just need to move assets for a top tier center and find a quality goalie.

Last place Lucic would agree to go. But thanks for trying...

Yeah because Carolina is salivating at the prospect of Lucic putting on a Canes jersey.

Would you guys get behind a RNH for Faulk type of deal. Im sure both teams could even make a bigger trade perhaps with Skinner even.

Yeah it’s completly ridiculous. I was just pointing out one side. But it’s stupid from both sides...

God no. Chia better not do that. Just keep Nuge on the wing and have him as back up C if someone gets injured.

Dear sweet baby Jesus...

Is this fellow related to Tanner?

Whats your ideal plan for the Oilers? Besides attempting to dump a bad contract? Find another LW/RW and a good Dman? Targets?

We aren’t dumping a bad contract without adding a lot of sweetener. I ride it out for this season. Hope Sek makes a bounce back and Klef returns to full health. Find a winger for Drai. And a Right Hand Top pair two way dman if one becomes available.
Problem is Chia is a moron and will likely do something drastic to try to save his job.
