Tom Cruise's greatest role in Tropic Thunder.

Now I want you to take a step back... and literally f**k your own face!

I think if RNH for Barrie was an option for the Oilers and Chia was interested in such a swap it would have happened before they locked Russell up to the deal they did.

What do you think their thoughts are for an offensive d-man?

Do you think the Oil will even look at one anymore?

I'm kind of wondering if they use the Sekera injury to see if Benning can become a 30-40 point d-man. It's just tough to ask that of Benning as he really has never put up big offensive numbers, then again neither did Klef.

The other thing is if they do actually ever make a trade don't they have to trade Sekera to make room?

Plus trading nuge just makes no sense right now, Drai still isn't signed and even if he was, trading nuge woud result in us losing a lot of versatility that we currently have. We would have to play drai 2c, then need to find a rw that works with McDavid, and the rest would kind of just fall into place which is not a TMac kind of team

An RNH for barrie followed by a pirri & drai sign would be a great off season.

Then we have questions at either 2c or 1rw going into preseason.

 

[Cloned]

My guess is Roman Polak or Cody Franson, and that's it for the summer.

 

[VainGretzky]

dont think Chia is going to cut ties with Pakarinen and Khaira this early. There is no need to load up right now.. Trade deadline is when you load up unless you can get a Jagr..

I don't think he is to worried about Pak he was just depth signing , but Kharia is a different story.

 

[McDrai]

I wouldn't be too worried about that. I think one concern is it would be nice to let McDavid play less during the regular season. Having RNH would allow this to happen. It would allow McDavid to be fresher for the playoffs. Granted he won't have played in any tourney before the start of the year so that will help.

True, I think we can afford to keep RNH for this season since we have a fair amount of cap space (11 mil or so). Plus his value is probably at its lowest. We should sign Jagr to a 1 year and Re-sign Draisaitl. Then I will be pleased

I don't think Polak wants to be on the same team as Nurse.

 

[Asher]

I don't about a trade but I would love to get one more Dman who can play every day. I'm a little worried what they have right now without Sekera.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Also, with this signing the Oilers list of players that can play center/ take draws is McDavid/Drai/RNH/Strome/Caggs/JJ/Khaira, having a nice and versatile lineup is really nice compared to the past decade

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I'm still sincerely hoping for Beauchemin, if they go that route.

 

[Cloned]

I don't think Polak wants to be on the same team as Nurse.

That's OK, because Nurse is getting traded.

(but actually a possibility)

I remember the days of Hall having to play at center
It's nice to have so many options at that position now

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I don't think Polak wants to be on the same team as Nurse.

He'd be less likely to get his ass beat if he played on the same team though

That said, I'd prefer Franson.

No we don't no way the Oilers are going to risk any carryover bonuses for next season they can not afford it at all . I don't see any other signings .maybe a trade with =or less cap coming back . They will have lots of deadline cap space to land really big fish rental if available by staying put.

I'm hoping for Jagr at 1 year 1 million and then re-signing Draisaitl to 8 years at 7.5 million

 

[VainGretzky]

With Jokinen signing cap is at 16.8 minus 10.3 for Draisaitl @7.5 and Nuge bonus that leaves 6.5 Million for this season with another 4.7 possible bonuses which is very unlikely but see the team keeping a extra 1.5 just in case. So 5 million cap is reasonable . Getting rid of Fayne would help huge. 5 million in cap space is about 23 million cap space at trade deadline.

They'd likely be on the same pairing too haha.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

could be.

If they were to add a Mike Green at the deadline or something then Nurse probably becomes 7th d.

 

[Cloned]

We'll see what Stauffer says today. If he's still hinting at a forward I think we might yet see Gionta.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

I'm still hoping for Jagr as well. Why not both?

 

[Digger12]

I'd hate Polak on this team, if only because he'd always make me think of that "Fat, balding Taylor Hall with a beard" meme and I would never be able to take him seriously.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I'd love a Franson type deal and call it a summer

Klefbom-Larsson
Russell-Franson
Nurse-Benning

 

[Canovin]

Still hoping for my boy Vladdy Hockey
