Ok. Let's see the cost I guess

 

[belair]

My stomach is in knots. I hope we didn't get bent over.

 

[Ruok]

Henrique is a good. Don't know much about Carrick. Hopefully no first but wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Broberg Speed]

that's a spicy meatball

[CantHaveTkachev]

old team just got older

they do provide some grit and size

 

[tardigrade81]

Interesting

 

[DrDrai]

I'm a fan of Henrique, this is a good move IMO.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Edit: I take it back. Great move with the heavy retention. Both players for under 2M is excellent work.

 

[Canovin]

No more than 2nd and 3rd please

 

[Soli]

I can't believe this was over a decade ago, but its what I think of when I think Henrique and the playoffs.

 

[McDNicks17]

I'm a little scared that they've added two forwards.

Hopefully they didn't do something dumb like add Holloway into this deal. (More than likely they're just sending him to Bako, but I'm still scared haha)

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Can't wait for the negativity even though the team as it stands is firmly in a playoff spot

 

[Oilers]

Henrique is a good consistent veteran. I like the player, but curious what we're giving up

 

[dem]

Man I hope we didn’t give up too much..

Tarasenko went for so cheap.


Hope this doesn’t spell the end of Foegele in Edmonton.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Is Carrick even a center?

Thinking about forward lines:

RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Draisaitl - Foegele
McLeod - Henrique - Holloway
Janmark - Carrick - Perry

 

[Da McBomb]

Wasn't it rumoured earlier that Anaheim was looking for quite a lot on the return for Henrique? Now we're adding Carrick and retention? I'm scared what the return is going to be.

 

[GMofOilers]

Going to be a lot to give up I’m guessing

 

[Mav3rick07]

I hope acquiring Henrique means we are no longer stacking McDrai on our top line.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Going to be a lot to give up I’m guessing

Hopefully, it's like to major difference makers.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I can't believe this was over a decade ago, but its what I think of when I think Henrique and the playoffs.

Reminds me of the goal that tied the game last night vs. Boston

 

[RipsADrive]

Strudwick will be so smug about this one. He's been on Henrique for awhile.

I like it before seeing the acquistion cost.

 

[CupofOil]

Not really sold on the move and thats without the cost. Carrick is pretty much an AHL player who couldn't crack ANA full time. Henrique is solid, but expensive and old. Let's see the cost I guess.

So is Ekholm. Henrique might be on the old side but he's still good. This is a win now move so age isn't an issue.

The guy is a good offensive player, versatile and is a plus player on Anaheim,.....on ANAHEIM. This is a good pickup.

 

[Valhallis]

Wasn't it rumoured earlier that Anaheim was looking for quite a lot on the return for Henrique? Now we're adding Carrick and retention? I'm scared what the return is going to be.

I agree. We'll see. I'm on pins and needles here....
