Will Stetcher be our last trade acquisition or does Holland have more moves up his sleeve?
I’m predicting some minor league/prospect trades maybe and that’s it.Will Stetcher be our last trade acquisition or does Holland have more moves up his sleeve?
I think they still add a winger. But I hope they just make that Ceci/Carrier swapI’m predicting some minor league/prospect trades maybe and that’s it.
I think even if you shipped out Brown you could add Eberle at 75% retention.Good Morning everyone. Unlike my lasts two posts I cannot say this one with any confidence.
I can confidently say that Adam Henrique was Plan C. With their number 1 target off the board (Tanev) they moved their focus to a high-quality defensive forward (Henrique) He was brought in to ideally play on a 3rd line or a checking line. To be a defensively responsible forward that doesn’t make many mistakes. He also can play top 6 if the Oilers don’t add or have injuries. Everyone saying Henrique is bad defensively is out to lunch.
I can unconfidently say It does appear that the Oilers are indeed circling back to Plan B (top 6 RW). I was told a top 6 forward with retention will 100 % be added to this roster. This is someone’s strong opinion. I CAN NOT confirm this will happen.
I can confirm the team believes Evander Kane is slowing down A LOT. (some posters here have mentioned it, some defend Kane. HOT topic on these boards) His downfall is the main reason the team is searching/prioritizing for a top 6 winger.
My educated guess: It seems like Plan B was always in the cards. It would have been paired with 1 of Plan A or Plan C.
Everyone these are rumors right now with some steam behind them. I CAN NOT say anything will happen because I really don’t know.
If we do get a top 6 RW, who is available that fits under the cap? It sounds like if we grab someone a roster player moves out. Can it be someone as small as Janmark?
The team is probably going to do something today.The season could be decided today. Top 6 forward seems possible. My anxiety says we strike out and do nothing. Time for coffee
So unfortunately Brown won't be traded or waived unless he asks for it.I think even if you shipped out Brown you could add Eberle at 75% retention.
Well your other options are Janmark, Ceci, Foegele or Ryan then.So unfortunately Brown won't be traded or waived unless he asks for it.
What else can we do?
Brown has no trade protectionSo unfortunately Brown won't be traded or waived unless he asks for it.

The Oilers aren’t exactly flush with skaters that can put the puck in the netOutside of being a RHS, I'm not sure what Ebs adds that Henrique doesn't.
More speed please!!!!!Outside of being a RHS, I'm not sure what Ebs adds that Henrique doesn't.
I think Hollands done up front, but if you're bringing in another forward, I think it needs to be a physical freak (i.e big and fast) vs. another slower cerebral player. Especially if it's Foegele going out the door to make room.
Sadly though, there doesn't seem to be a Timo Meier type at this year's deadline.
Please Kenny. I won’t ever hate you again
Team still has poor RW depth. It's Hyman and a cloud of dust. They have like a million left shooting LWs and Centers but precious few RWs.Outside of being a RHS, I'm not sure what Ebs adds that Henrique doesn't.

Cause he has to quote his sourcesWhy do you quote random people? Nothing in Seravalli’s article indicates Eberle is being shopped yet
Gregor will be right, for once.Gregor sounds convinced we are done.
