If the Oilers really want that, Barrie is probably obtainable.
We don't have any room on the right side

When was the last time we had a top 10 scoring dman in the league? Yeah we don't need guys like that!
He's lacking defense awareness.
Stop using +/- to gauge individual performance. The Nurse/Bear pairing saw McDabid time. Klefbom's +/- was heavily impacted by SHGA and ENGs. Assuming Klefbom's minutes will be easily replaced is foolish. He was one of the busiest defensemen in the league last season.

If NUrse played the PP this year, he woudl have gotten 10 more points which puts him in the top 10. If Bear had 15 PP points this year, he would be in the top 20 league scoring defensemen.
Zero chance we trade for a goalie. I think we just sign the scraps or SmithGet your hands off of Kuemper...he's ours!

Looks fine to me.

Shoulda woulda coulda. If I invested in Apple I'd have been a millionaire. So that's basically the same as me being a millionaire!

I mean if Klefbom is out for the year, we do need someone new thereWhen was the last time we had the best PP in the last 40 years and people still want to fiddle with it?
This still amazes me. Oh, if we only had that threat from the point, then the PP would be really good... Man o man, it's never enough. It's like complaining over Drai not being in contention for the Selke after his art/hart/lindsey season....
I would roll
Nurse / Bear
Jones / Larsson
You still have Russell for third pair. You can put Bouchard on your third pair as well.
You could still add Gudas, Barrie, Kulikov, Brodie.
Or you trade for a LHD who has some miles, can play middle pairing, and who is defensively responsible and does not need to get you any points.
Nurse, Bear, and Jones should be better than last year just based on age and experience.
Money is needed for the third line and goalie. The defense will work.
Bear and Nurse saw a good amount of time with McDavid at even strength. Klefbom also saw time there, but also played with the bottom six for much of the season--particularly in its later stages.Not using +/- for the most part. I am more interested in the 5v5 stats.
Also, Nurse/Bear played with Drai. Klef played with McDavid.
By the end of the year, McDavid wishes he was playing more with Bear/Nurse.
Man our defence looks so atrocious without Klefbom (Even if Barrie is added).Nurse Bear

Wouldn't we be better off putting him on LTIR with the hopes he can come back at some point? Not sure he has much trade value and at 4mil I rather just hope he could eventually come back and be worth close to 4mil a year.I think the Oilers should just move on from Klefbom.
How are you going to build a team with this guy as a key cog? Every time the team has a good season, he is hurt.
You think his shoulder is never going to be hurt again, he had surgery already, 2 years later it's causing problems again and he's back in the same spot of facing surgery again.
You can probably dump him now because insured LTIR can save a cheap team some real dollars for next season.
