Friedman: Oilers offseason moves?

[ChaoticOrange]

Is there any possibility that the Jets could make a trade in the offseason with the Oilers involving Buff, Trouba or Myers?

Probably, but I personally wouldn’t give up what you’d likely want for Buff (Old, expensive) or Myers (fragile, inconsistent), and you’d likely want something we can’t afford to lose for Trouba.

Would RNH be too much of an ask for Trouba?

 

[GOilers88]

Would RNH be too much of an ask for Trouba?

I wouldn't think so.
I'd have to think there'd be an extension in place for Trouba though.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Would RNH be too much of an ask for Trouba?

No. I think there would basis for a deal there. Young Low end 1C for a young top pairing D. The only problem might be Trouba's contract. RNH is good value at 6, it would be sketch if Trouba wants anything north of 6.5ish

 

[ujju2]

Would RNH be too much of an ask for Trouba?

Not a bad premise, but I'd rather keep Nuge.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Would RNH be too much of an ask for Trouba?

Unlikely and he’d be a very fair ask, but the Jets are already swimming with forwards aren’t they? We’d also need an extension in place.

If Trouba signed an extension with Winnipeg, would this be a good starting point?

This. I have no interest in Myers due to his injury history. Buff I'd take, but I think Lucic would have to be going the other way and I'm sure Winnipeg has no interest in that. Trouba I like and he fits in terms of age, but I am concerned about those old rumors of him wanting to play in the US. I don't want to trade for him if he isn't going to want to stay here.

 

[ManofSteel55]

If Trouba signed an extension with Winnipeg, would this be a good starting point?

I think our management would need a change to talk to him and his agent even if an extension was signed. I wouldn't want a guy who wants to be somewhere else.

I honestly don't see Trouba wanting out of Winnipeg for Edmonton, If he leaves Winnipeg by all accounts i see him wanting to head for the States. Don't see Trouba wanting to play in Western Canada same could be said with Buff as well. Seeing that both are Americans. And probably would eventually like to play in the States.

Yep everyone from the States wants to play in the States just like everyone from Canada wants to play in Canada.

 

[LTIR]

Chris Kreider for Oilers 2018 first?

Chia would certainly be interested.
Oilers need to make the playoffs next year if Chia is to keep his job. Kreider would help more than a prospect

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Well Shattenkirk went home to New York City, So we'll see what Trouba eventually does stays in Canada or comes to the States. Still think if Trouba stays in Canada he resigns back with Winnipeg can't see him leaving Winnipeg for Edmonton but that's just me.

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

If RNH for Trouba really was ever on the table, I can't see any GM- even one as daft as Chiarelli- saying no. That's a great deal for Edmonton.

 

[Warden of the North]

Would RNH be too much of an ask for Trouba?

I think that an excellent trade for both teams

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

rnh to wing should have been tried Leons ago.

 

[hallhopkinseberle]

I wouldn't do Trouba for Nuge. We need to keep Nuge. Him and McDavid having chemistry is money for us.

Nuge-McDavid-X
X-Drasaitl-X

We now could have two scoring lines, just need to find a winger for Drai. We need to stop filling holes by creating another hole on our roster.

 

[Ori]

Chia would certainly be interested.

yeah I`m aware that Kreider is not enough, but it`s a start.

 

[terrible dee]

RNH and Hoffman have had the same offensive output their entire carrer. I would just keep the center

I agree with you chia has made some bad moves and some good moves no different then every other gm. Some of his deals hall for Larson had to be made and chia had to deal from a position of being a team not making the playoffs in ten years not exactly a strong point for making trades. He was handed a team past management ran into the ground and he has done an ok job getting us where we are now. He is starting to add a lot of depth something we were seriously lacking. The team he has assembled has the ability and should of made the playoffs. Will be interesting to see what the offseason brings.

I know EVERYONE loved the Larsson trade last year...

Chi had a gun to his head, Hall is NOT known for being a good locker room influence, they wanted him AWAY from Mc David, that deal needed to happen, I don't fault hm for it.

As far as Strome, whenever you trade a winger for a center of similar talent, YOU WIN, Eberle is getting his usual points and accomplishing nothing, so what is it you miss about him so much?

Lucic? He needed the muscle, period, can you really blame him?

As far as Griffen Reinhart goes....who the hell saw that coming, I still don't understand it.....seriously WTF happened with that guy!?!?!

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Fire Chiarelli before he trades McDavid...

 

[terrible dee]

I wouldn't do Trouba for Nuge. We need to keep Nuge. Him and McDavid having chemistry is money for us.

Nuge-McDavid-X
X-Drasaitl-X

We now could have two scoring lines, just need to find a winger for Drai. We need to stop filling holes by creating another hole on our roster.

Can't you just do Nuge Mc David, Drai Strome?

That would be perfect, anytime there's an injury at the most important position a guy steps from wing to center

Lucic can still pot 40 pts, stick him up with Mc David and Nuge,

Pool Party rides shotgun with Drai and Strome, Kassian when you need to wake people up (He does have talent)

What's so complicated?!?!?!

 

[haveandare]

Imo the issue isn't that people didn't get Eberle's value - his production was pretty consistent for a long time. The issue is the Oilers got a crappy player back for a good one. I have a real hard time believing they couldn't have gotten something better for Eberle. Nothing about Strome suggests he's a suitable return for Eberle except maybe that one 50 point season years ago.

 

[rockinghockey]

We are set down centre
If we have to move a player I would move Klefbom plus for Trouba if Trouba can be resigned
That improves our right shot dmen
Nurse, Larsson
Sekera, Trouba
Russel, Benning
That gives us an option to use our 1st round to get a good winger for our first and then sign Vanek
RNH, McD, ?
Vanek, LD, trade
Lucic, Strome, Puljujarvi
Slep, Kharia, Kaissian
Looks a lot better to me
What would have to be added to our 1st for
Kreider, Zuccarello
Gives us two good wingers

AVS propose Andrighetto + 1 pick 2018 -
Edmonton 1 pick 2018+ cap dump???
