Like I said, I have come in peace and have no interest in arguing. Except for one fan, apparently I have made the stupidest trade proposal ever on these boards.
As I leave with my tail between my legs, let me recap , from my perspective.
The Oil should be a scoring juggernaut with the 2 best top 6 centers since Crosby and Malkin, but after 20 games are scoring at a rate of 2.5 goals per game. Draisatl is playing on McDavid's wing.
My trade offers you one of the highest scoring LW in the NHL of these last 4 years and he has done that without a legitimate top 6 center. Yes, he has just this and next year on his contract, which pays him $4.5M a year. He is also very good defensively and plays on the PK.
I am also offering one of the most aggressive, determined pests who can score 20 plus goals when his hand is not broken due to a Weber slap shot. Also a solid 2 way player.
The Oilers I would think would have their scoring woes answered easily by these 2 way players and would be able to contend right now.
My trade is apparently stupid because RNH is the best player in the deal ( no, that would be Patches), your 1st is untouchable ( presumably not so much after you guys start scoring goals again) and Puljujarvi could be a rock star. Yes, he could, but maybe not , that is the risk, but he isn't right now and maybe will not be for some years.
You don't like the trade ok, no problem, but you were not being offered junk for a diamond.
As a Habs fan I know all about a team not making enough of the hard choices and necessary moves to go for the Cup
Anyway, good luck this year. Sounds like both our teams need it.
