I'd trade Lucic+Pulju for a 6th just to give us financial flexibility to pounce on other players.Holland's chance to remove Lucic. If you want JP...take lucic and we wont ask for anyone.

This would not be that bad an outcome.
I don't get why everyone's saying that Yamamoto's been a dissapointment. Did anyone really expect him to be in the NHL in his 2nd year? He's a small winger who was producing at basically a ppg clip in the AHL once he got settled it. Then he got called up, sent down, and took a few games to settle in. Then he got injured. He's had a crazy season. Tons of 'top prospects' from the 2017 draft haven't played a second in the majors.
A little tidbit, btw, Yams has the highest contributions to Grade A chances +- among Oilers wingers. 0.84, the 3rd highest on the team after Drai and McDavid.

Hell no. That's a steal for Lucic honestly.Maybe someone bites at Lucic(50% retention) + Pulju for a 7th

I think it's just a "technicality" at this pointDoesn't Lucic have a NTC?

Only if that's going to include the realization that the Oilers are going to draft that guy that will probably fail so we're pre-emptively upset.Can we shift this back to the draft talk? There's a thread for proposals.
Bouchard was touted a #1 at the draft. Anything less than a top pair like parayko or pietrangelo is a major bust.
I wonder if we can wind back the clock on when Scott Niedermayer was drafted. Too bad HF did not exist. People might say the same garbage. Not a #1 D. Goes on to have a hall of fame career.
Why is it everything we draft are not potentially top line player? Might as well go with dobson or smith instead since maybe they are #1?
They have a family...Because apparently picks in the 20s need to be immediate top 6 threats but top 4 picks can take their sweet ass time figuring out which lane to take.
The best is when we pick someone that isn't on that listGreat move by Stauffer, list the top 9 players and guess that the Oilers will take one of them at 8

This is the only good news I am hearing about the pick. Better Broberg than Caufield. We already have a small top 6 forward in Yama. Do not need another.
Caufield ****s on Yamamoto.

I honestly wonder if with the Pulju news it has Stauffer backpeddling and even if the org was thinking Broberg, no chance now. Our forward prospects went from 4 to 3.Gotta love how Stauffer is back peddling now.
NHL teams show up to the draft with roughly 100 players on their draft board.To do what though? As a reference? To pare down their lists? Sure, that would make sense.
Everything I’ve heard says teams rank players thoroughly, in much more of a continuum than chucks. When they go to the draft, how likely are they just to take whoever’s left in a certain group of players? That sounds like a fantasy draft where there are no real consequences.
These guys are responsible for the actual picks, so I would hope it’s more meticulous than that. If I’m running an NHL team’s draft, and 217 players are being picked, I know I’m having 217 “tiers”.
