The Perfect Human*

Hey Oilers' fans. I wanted to run by a trade proposal involving the Kings. Since the Oilers need veteran presence with stanley cup experience, and the Kings are looking to get younger, I was thinking of a trade of Jeff Carter and Dwight King for RNH and Yakopov.

The Oilers get a second line center that scores 20-30 goals regularly and is fast in Carter, and Dwight King, who is a 10-15 goal scorer, great on the cycle and defensively responsible winger. Kings, on the other hand, get two young players that have skill and upside with the proper development. Consider Carter/King and RNH/Yakopov have close to equal stats (with Carter being a more proven goal scorer), this seems like a fair hockey trade.

Thoughts?

I would take that trade for the Oil, heck ya. We need to start bringing in good vet top six fwds like Carter if we want tangible improvement in our top 2 lines. Right now there's too much inexperience. Tho there is talent, it's the blind leading the blind right now in the top 2 lines. King would be good for the third line as well.

Carter is going to be on the decline and RNH on the rise or at least not declining. His past history in CLB is troubling as well. If we did the deal, i'd want a pick to even out the age issue and King being an upcoming UFA.

I like how you're trying to accumulate depth but I will disagree on one thing.

I don't see Buffalo dealing Bogosian just to move up 4 spots and considering he's a possession blackhole, that's a hard pass from me.

If you never take dmen in the 1st round good luck getting a top pairing guy. Theres a reason Edmonton's in this position and its because the only dman they took with a 1st round pick in ten years was Alex Plante.

Just off the top of my head the list of 1st round picks is arguably more impressive.

which i agree with, but thats not the point, he said you will NEVER get a top pairing guy outside the first round, I can name some first round busts to counter your names, but thats not the point

deal is alright, but i would just prefer RNH over the long haul. These just are not the deals we need to be making, we need a #1 RHD

That's not what he said. He said it's less likely which I agree with. In the past 8-9 years most of the top D came from the higher picks. His exact words were "good luck" getting a top pair guy outside of the first round.

A King for Yak swap might be ok, but Carter is too old, signed too long and C is not a position of need. Pass.

If we can't get a top pair D out of the 4th overall, do we trade back trying to get multiple 1st's to try to get D in this draft that will hopefully develop into 1 while not giving up good roster players? 4th overall plus our second for Arizona's 2 first seems about equal value. Would packaging Yakupov with 20 give us a shot to move up close to 10?

Now lets dig up the guys picked in the 1st who aren't legit top pairing defensemen.

Like any position, it's a complete crap-shoot.

You never know how they're going to look at 24, which is why you ALWAYS PICK BPA at the top of the first. If you don't, trade down.

I don't mind it but if Barrie wants 6+ a year it doesn't leave the Oilers any chance to upgrade the Defense in the coming years. I guess you just pray Klefbom or Nurse develop into a #1 in that case.

Also the top 6 is still butter soft and will struggle to score against big strong teams that limit chances off the rush.

I don't think Barrie will be able to get 6+ a year, he may start out at 6.5 and oilers may start at 4 and it could settle at around 5.

Hall-RNH-Draisaitl were great on the cycle when they played together. You can also plug Maroon in for Pouliot if you want, but I prefer Pouliot. Having Eberle back isn't ideal but this team needs a right handed scorer and those dreams died at the draft lottery.

He won't get over 6. Players always start high, it's called negotiating. Trouba is reportable asking for 7m, he won't get it. Barrie will be in the 5-5.8 m range.

Barrie would be mostly UFA years on his next deal though. 6-7 is very reasonable for that reason. I don't buy that Trouba is looking for that much either, since in his case a comparable might be a fellow RFA like Hamilton, who got 5.5 AAV.

For Barrie, Doughty's 7 and the 6.5 deals for Karlsson and Pietrangelo aren't comparable because they were RFA. The cap circumventing deals on Suter or Weber or Keith aren't comparables either since their actual salary is so high.

We are looking at a new wave UFA deals. Subban just got 9 million AAV off his bridge deal because of all the UFA years. Barrie is obviously worth less, but he's got to be worth more than 6 and definitely worth more than the 5.5 that high end RFAs are getting.

Even if Jeff Carter weren't a declining player at this stage, there's no way in Dante's 7 levels of hell I'd trade for the player after watching him pout/half-arse his way out of Columbus.

How do you think he'd react to being traded from LA to Edmonton?

Morgan Reilly just got 5m, there's no way Barrie can get 6+

As much as I like Barrie if Ryan Ellis could be had for a similar price I think he would be a better target. Much cheaper and would likely resign here, has had to play 1 RD before when Weber was out and did fine. Similar age and has played with Hall in junior. If you put him in the exact same role you would Barrie I wouldn't be surprised to see him put up the same numbers.
