Confirmed Trade: [EDM/ARI] Nick Bjugstad (50% retained), Cam Dineen for Michael Kesselring, 2023 3rd round pick

[Mr Positive]

People are enjoying bumping old threads that make the oilers look bad

I don't get it either. Bjugstad was a great addition and helped us wipe out the Kings and give the Knights a scare

Kesselring has looked solid. Much better than anything I had expected.

There is however an upcoming numbers crunch we have to deal with.

Dumba (who has looked much better the past few weeks)
Durzi (currently hurt, coming back eventually)
Valimaki
Moser
Stetcher (not my favorite player, but the coaching staff seems to love him)
Dermott (he's been a surprise. very solid)
Brown
Kesselring.

I doubt they keep 8. I wouldn't be shocked if he goes back to Tucson when the squad is healthy. But he's absolutely a full timer next season.

I like Kesselring a lot more than you do. I like him a lot more than Stecher, Dermott, Brown and probably Dumba. Probably more than Soderstrom and Kolyachonok, too.

Small sample size, but I’ve been very, very impressed with Kesselring.

Bjugstad is definitely better than Kesselring, though. So it’s great to have both.

Yeah those poor oiler fans that get to watch McDavid and Draisatl shred the league night in and night out.

What has that lead to, especially this year. Drai is also having a terrible season to his standards.

Drai looks like he has checked out of this season...

Locking this. Thread is no longer about the trade. Any player discussion can happen in other threads.
