GDT: Draft thread - 2023

[Joey Moss]

Hate moving Kostin

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Yamamoto and Kostin to DET for nothing.

You called it!

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Trading with Yzerman never works out well. I'm scared

Maybe we can finally cash in on one of the hundred favours we've done for the other NHL teams.

 

[CupofOil]

So... what's the trade? Yamamoto+Kostin for ???

Nah, I saw the tweet.

Pucks.

Klim gone stings a bit. He turned into a major fan favourite

Unfortunately Woodcroft didn’t use him properly and now he wants more way cash than we can afford. My love for him ended and he can get bent now.

 

[CupofOil]

Pucks.

It blows losing Kostin but I guess cap space is nice.

Bye Bye avatar

Holland is so bad, sign a guy for two years and trade for a guy then have to dump both for nothing at all a year later.

Can't wait for all the praise to be heaped on holland and his crew for not having to give up multiple picks to get away from his mistakes.

Oilers up in 3.

Weird take, but ok.

*Probably up lol

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Again? His NHL career is probably over.

Looks like the second year was of no consequence with Yamamoto. 2nd year didn't matter, odd how that works sometimes.

 

[Joey Moss]

Dragicevic, Price would be nice

 

[North]

Ultimately the cost of not buying out Yams was Kostin. It is what it is.

 

[CupofOil]

So.... now there's $8m left to re-sign Bouchard, McLeod, Janmark and Bjugstad? Still need to clear more cap if they want to sign all those guys and make an addition.

 

[Soli]

R. Heidt or L. Dragicevic please

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Door is now wide open for Dylan Holloway. Hopefully Woodcroft plays him more than 3 minutes a night.

Kostin was going either way unfortunately it seems, so no harm no foul there.

 

[oil Leaks]

Gracyn Sawchyn would be nice pickup

 

[Seachd]

Oilers take Beau Akey (D).

Cosentino and Bukala love this guy, from what I remember.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Who?

 

[Soli]

Hahaha Beau Akey, I don't mind that.

Why is it a weird take?

He gave yamo and two year deal for a flawed buy who should not have been in our plans last year. Yamo has been the exact smae guy all through his career, then we have to give him away when we should have jettisoned him last year.

Kostin, he finally makes a trade and gets a guy that helps the team. Then has to boot him to the curb the next year.

Ya the unfortunate nature of the flat cap makes it so players who will sign a discount (Ryan/McLeod) stay and players who won’t (Kostin) go, regardless of on ice performances
