Value of: Best Player Your Team Would Trade For the Oilers 2019 & 2020 2nd Round Picks?

[TryamkinPleaseReturn]

A superstar? Are you sure your talking about Kapanen?

Or did you think I misspelled Marner as Kapanen?

No I got you. But Kapanen just had a 20 goal season in what is technically his sophomore NHL season, but was basically his rookie NHL season (first 40+ game NHL season). After dominating the AHL for the past two (partial) seasons. He's already a very good top 6 NHL forward and is sure to become a top line forward - possibly in his second full season.

I think Kapanen would cost at least what Reinhart cost.

Not commenting on this specific valuation but I think Connor Brown would be a great get for the Oil. Fast, spirited, great defensively, prior chemistry with Connor McD, and could be had for relative cheap. I know homer Leafs fans like to bring up his 20g rookie season as reason why you should let us fleece you, but there is legitimate offensive skill there. He's a player who's very much been pigeonholed in a specific role for the past two years as a defensive player and I think he could be a very solid 40-50pt two way guy on a team like Edmonton.

I have time for Brown but not for an overpay and IMO a 2nd is an overpay for him.

From the Blues, no one. Keep the picks.

Pretty much my ideal semi-realistic return for Miller.

 

[Homesick]

Pretty much my ideal semi-realistic return for Miller.

Seems fair

I’d do Andrew Shaw plus 5th for your 2019 2nd and Jesse Puljajarvi

 

[Kurrilino]

Toffoly for the 1st

 

[Homesick]

Toffoly for the 1st

#8 overall for a UFA rental that scored 13 goals last year? Gee, I'm sure you could probably get a better deal somewhere else....seriously, go ask somewhere else

 

[Roof Daddy]

Pretty much my ideal semi-realistic return for Miller.

I would consider it, but am curious if Gourde would be available for that same package. Or Gourde + Pacquette with adds from our side. Or Miller + Pacquette?

I know many will disagree with me, but I think we need to build this team from the ground up. I’d like to nab a guy like Pacquette via trade, a guy like Brandon Tanev in free agency, and roll with Tanev-Pacquette-Kassian as our 4th line.

As much as our top 6 was criticized, we still had 2 dynamos (Drai, McD) and one good player (Nuge) holding the fort. Our bottom 6 was a dog’s breakfast of waiver fodder.

Justin Braun. If he wasn't a pending UFA, Joonas Donskoi.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

I honestly can't think of any... After moving Nyquist, Detroit is literally a team that has players of either great value or no value at all.

Glendening might be worth ONE of Edmonton's 2nds, but Edmonton isn't really good enough yet to be trading decent picks for role players. That's for contenders looking to add depth.

 

[Taytro]

I’d do Andrew Shaw plus 5th for your 2019 2nd and Jesse Puljajarvi

I can see Shaw for a 2nd and 3rd or something but Puljujarvi isnt the throw in. He needs to be swapped with another prospect in a change of scenery situation.

Oscar Klefbom
Sam Gagner (cap dump)
2nd round pick

for

Philip Danault
Arturri Lehkonen

 

[Mac Attack]

Alexander Kerfoot

Stop trying to get rid of Kerfoot! Once we have someone to replace him with then fine. But we really don't right now.

 

[Joey Moss]

Seems fair

Is it really though? We're going to trade 8th overall and 39th overall for a 2nd line winger?

Oscar Klefbom

Klefbom is our best defenseman, worth more than those two alone.

Try again.

So firstly Edmonton needs Klefbom (their top pair dman) way more than a couple mid 6 forwards. Secondly wee wouldnt want to include Gagner at negative value especially since hes been surprisingly good for us. That's just a bad proposal that doesnt take needs into effect.

I thought the OP was 2019 2nd and 2020 2nd

We don't yet, but Joe has to get upgrades this summer whether Kerf is still around or not. So I don't really see any point to waiting if we could get two high 2nds to use as bait instead.

You’re right.. the toffoli proposal right after threw me off.

I doubt Gourde would be available for the same package and he actually will have an NTC of some kind when his new contract kicks in. While technically he could be traded, I doubt this is the organization that doesn't honor the spirit of the agreement (although a 1st round exit could change a lot of thinking).

Klefbom is so far off the table he’s in another room.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Toffoly for the 1st

Lol yes forwards with less goals than Zack Kassian routinely bring back top ten draft picks.

Alex Chiasson (signed) for 5th overall.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Kreider. And you can drop the 2020 1st.

 

[PetterssonSimp]

Connor Brown is getting traded for Matthew Benning this summer.

This would be too fitting. Two teams with needs at RW and RD trade each other each but are completely just depth players and not anything they actually need. This is Coiler/Laugh territory of reality
