So Evander Kane isn’t our only “trade-deadline acquisition” after all?

 

[oXo Cube]

One of these 3 is not like the others.

You're gonna have to do better than "well I tried" here Ken.

I think by progressed Dreger means Holland finally got Armstrong's number right, he's been negotiating with his uncle for weeks.

Chychrun would become the Oilers 1D and is capable of being a 1D

Ekholm would become the Oilers 1D but is more of a 2D/3D

Gavrikov would be the Oilers 3D and is a 4D

You have a top 5 player ever having a historical season

Your second best player is 2nd to 5th best on the league

Pay the price for Chychrun and get that elite d-men

At least he didn’t mention Edmundson… yet.

That's a Paul Dreger special

Please don't merge this with the other Chychrun thread, as I am banned from there until April 6 and I still want to talk Chychrun

"arbitrary phrase to sound important and in-the-know"

If the price for Chych was 2 late firsts and a second, as is being claimed, wouldn't he have been dealt two weeks ago?

 

[jmelm]

@rt Please let us know your latest/best guess proposal

 

[WarriorofTime]

In my opinion, he is a MUST get for the Oilers

I'm assuming that the price is as reported and that no one has met that price yet, without sending cap dumps.

 

[cg98]

If Ekholm costs 2 1sts, you might as well just get Chychrun for the same price plus a little more. They'd be dumb not to make the investment.

makes sense.

Not if no one was willing to pay it.

 

[Kranix]

Not if no one was willing to pay it.

The implication was it's not that hard to come up with that package.

Outsider POV

-Ekholm best fit for Oilers play wise
-JC better value
-Gavrikov - over rated

Yeah, way younger and cost controlled. It's a no brainer move to go all out to get him over Ekholm if the cost difference isn't that drastic.

 

[Seachd]

The implication was it's not that hard to come up with that package.

Definitely not hard, but if that is the price, then it’s something no one has wanted to do yet.
