Confirmed Trade: [DET/EDM] Kailer Yamamoto and Klim Kostin for future considerations

[Coffey]

We can come to a heartfelt understanding about each other and our love around a bowl of bigos.

Only if you bring flaki too.

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.

Yes. Yes they are. Without Hyman and Kane, our wingers depth is:
- one of Draisaitl or Nuge, depending on Woody's strategy
- Warren Foegele
- Derek Ryan
- Dylan Holloway
- Raphael Lavoie

So yes, Hyman and Kane are needed, and both are on good deals for their production. If anything, we need to add another winger.

Detroit must really like kostin. Essentially paying him his own contract + Yamamotos buyout money to acquire him.

Looks like it cost them about 1m to buyout yamo over 2 years. And will probably pay kostin about 1.5-1.75m X 2yr.

So effectively Detroit felt kostin was worth about 2-2.25m per year

Hyman is amazing. Kane, I would be worried even at his 5 mill deal. Already slowing down, injured last year and the prototypical player that ages poorly.

Ewwwwwwwwwwww, you like that stuff?

So you don't believe in McDavid and Draisaitl's ability to make lower-end players better as Crosby has been doing his entire career?

 

[Coffey]

Ewwwwwwwwwwww, you like that stuff?

lol I do.
Do people not make it in Poland anymore?
I came to Canada in '88 and my parents were making it till 2002 or so.

 

[nturn06]

Yzerman doing Holland a solid. Yamamoto was pretty much a AHL player by the end of last year making too much money and Kostin is a decent btm 6 but hasnt found the consistency to be considered a 3rd liner

Not having to pay to get rid of Yamamoto was pretty nice by Yzerman even with Kostin involved the way GMs are guarding cap space. Good to have old friends

Wait, yesterday the reaction of many posters was that the Wings got a steal here....2 first rounders for nothing or something like that

100% still do. Especially that rubbish Duck blood soup stuff.

Now blood stuff, I don't eat that!

See Yamamoto

This is laughable

You get an Edmonton thread, you get that hilariously bad poster chiming in

Or they felt the 4th / 5th round draft pick it would cost to acquire him was worth 1M. Everyone seems to be forgetting that part.

 

[summer tooth]

The players had no trade value....so the trade itself isn't brutal. What's brutal is Oilers not making these guys like Yamamoto pan out and work in the bigger grand scheme of things.

?

 

[dirtydanglez]

weird trade for detroit.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

weird trade for detroit.

They did Ken Holland a solid, get a warm body with potential to fill a roster spot, and crawl a bit closer to the cap floor.

they could have done that too just by spending the money in free agency too.

 

[Big Ed]

weird trade for detroit.

Traded a small bit of money for Kostin's rights rather than a draft pick.

Not an OR because if they felt the 5th round pick was worth 1m, and they were willing to pay a 5th, then they think he is worth that 1m. Zzzz

No. But with the logic hoops you're jumping through I can see a rebuttal is pointless.

 

[McDNicks17]

According to Friedman, Kostin didn't get a QO.

Weird trade for Detroit.

 

[syz]

Is Kostin just trying to hardball everybody? Seems like he's on his way home.

 

[McDNicks17]

Yzerman basically just paid $1M to talk to Kostin a few days early.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Free cap space for the Oilers.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Wow. Embarrassment for Yzerman really, unless there was some things we didn't know about.

 

[EXTRAS]

No. But with the logic hoops you're jumping through I can see a rebuttal is pointless.
