Well the entire basis of your argument is flawed as players don't have the value that their draft position reflects this many years after the draft.
Kim hits hard. You will like him. There was something about his game that our coach didn't trust to play above the 4th line. His positioning and awareness isn't the bbest, but he plays hard, doesn't back down, and has a good shot. I could see him becoming a middle six winger, but I could also see him getting in the bad books of coaches around the league and flaming out. He's a good gamble to take.
Rumour was he wanted 1.5-2.0 million from Edmonton. Maybe Detroit isn't happy with his asking price. Or maybe he just legitimately wants to go home to play. Most likely though, the two sides are haggling.
Nurse is overpaid by 2M, but comparing him to the worst deal in the league (from a player perspective) isn't really making a point. Everyone knows Makar accepted an underpayment.
Holy hell, 3 horrendous takes in one sentence. That has to be an HF record.
I mean, it's S E P H. He has a long history of extremely bad opinions, suggestions, takes and overall quality of posts.
Good take. Both players could be NHL'ers. Yamamoto will need some luck with his health, but he could rebound. Kostin could be an NHL'er based on the tools he has, but he's only proven to be a really good 4th liner so far. Getting out of Yamamoto's 3.1M hit for the year is big, and we probably need to replace both with 1M guys, so we couldn't even fit Kostin in unfortunately.
Pretty standard for a thread about the Oilers honestly. People absolutely cannot help showing their entire ass.
I would bet on it. He also fills a position they need short term solutions at. Whether he accepts it or not, is another thing. I do think they’ll be in on him, Killorn, JVR and on the backend, probably Klingberg makes the most sense. Only due to their lack of points coming from their D right now. A Schenn or Mayfield makes more sense to help bring along Edvinsson but they need someone on the PP too.Yzerman adding former St. Louis Blues player?
Call me surprised.
Everything started from Robby Fabbri. It's starting to a long list:
- W Fabbri (for De la Rose)
- D Walman (from Leddy trade)
- RW Sundqvist (from Leddy trade)
- G Husso (traded for UFA rights)
- W Perron (UFA)
- W Kostin (EDM-trade, + Yamamoto)
I wonder if Ryan O'Reilly (Perron's good buddy) is also the UFA target.Wings a still missing a legit center, before Kasper and Danielson are ready.
just sign o'reilly (meh) and get Tarasenko as well. Third line of those two + perron I wouldn't hate. Move Tarasenko up and down when needed.
I think they’d probably like JVR much more than Tarasenko, but I actually could see it happening. On him, it’s just so hard to figure out where he’s going as a player. JVR has already switched up his game a little to extend his career. If they had the same agent, I’d be more inclined to think it could happen, but who knows.
His buyout costs almost nothing. I think this is something like the Wings taking Yamamoto instead of paying a 3rd or a 4th for Kostin.
Spector said today that Omsk has given up on signing him and it's likely a two year deal in Det for Kostin
just came out that the KHL team that wanted him has dipped out and won't pursue anymore.
If you lot listened to me, you would have five Stanley Cups by now.
Again, Hyman and Kane are solid players, but are both truly needed? Oilers would still be scoring a ton even if one of them weren't on the team. Again, you lot aren't losing because of offence, however, replacing Ceci with somebody that is superior with the Hyman/Kane money would be a step in the right direction. Oilers blame their entire problems on two players, Nurse and goaltending, and that just doesn't cut it because it takes a lot more to be swept by the Avs and lose to freakin' Hill in next year's series.
We can come to a heartfelt understanding about each other and our love around a bowl of bigos.
