I feel like this is bad for both teams. Ottawa could get more when trading each individually and the Oilers aren't going to trade that much for 2 1 year rentals.

 

[Captain Controversy]

switch nurse with either Caleb jones, Ethan bear or Yamamoto. You got a deal then.

 

[CanadienShark]

Edmonton can't afford to move two talented young d-men that project as big pieces long term. Back to having a stacked offence though.

 

[bukwas]

I don't know if the the Oilers have the cap space and while they're getting the better players their short and longterm D corps take a hit they can't really afford to take.

 

[McShogun99]

This is so bad for Edmonton. Duchene and Stone are upcoming UFA's and have you not seen what Ottawa has been receiving in trades lately?

Bouchard is the player type we have needed for years, Nurse is a potential top pairing D, JP is a potential 1st line RW. There is no need for Duchene since we have Mcdavid, Draisaitl and RNH. Extending Stone will come at a price of 8.5 million + per season if he even wanted to extend in Edmonton. Lucic is obviously a cap dump but it's not worth it just to rent Duchene and Stone for a season.

The realistic returns that Duchene and Stone should bring back as rentals will be a 1st and some mid range prospect.

Considering what Ottawa received for Karlsson Id say bundle them in the same trade if thats what it takes to get anything at all.

 

[780il]

Not moving 3 huge young parts of our team for rentals.

I don't believe any team would take Lucic if you included just one of Puljujarvi, Nurse or Bouchard

 

[Slyfox]

Or Edm can just wait next year and get them for free.

I don't think you realize how the salary cap works

 

[Sureves]

I don't think you realize how the salary cap works

Or how living in Edmonton works.

 

[McShogun99]

Zero chance Ottawa would take Lucic with Melnyk as the owner. Even if all 3 of those players were part of the deal.

 

[NeverForget06]

I could see Bouchard and Nurse being our number 1 pairing in a few years, no way we are moving them.

We just saw the return for Karlsson, but you still think Ottawa is going to get that much for two forwards who could walk in a year? Nope.

 

[Slyfox]

I don't think you realize how the salary cap works

I do. By next year I'm sure Lucic or Sekera will end up on LTIR which will free up space. In addition, move out Russell and with the cap rising you should have space to sign one of them.

Russell has a no-movement clause

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Hahah okay so why would Edmonton ‘load up’ by adding two rental forwards and giving up two huge pieces of their present and future on defence?

Wideman and Borowiecki aren’t upgrades on anything we have already. They don’t move the needle.

No thanks.

 

[Slyfox]

Russell has a no-movement clause

According to capfriendly : 2019-20: Player submits a 10 team trade list. 2020-21: Player submits a 15 team trade list.

He can be moved.

What kind of value do you think Russell has? The kind where a team would take him on without shedding salary of their own?

Or the kind of value that requires the Oilers include an asset or two in order to get a team to take on his remaining 2 years?

 

[CupofOil]

I feel like this is bad for both teams. Ottawa could get more when trading each individually and the Oilers aren't going to trade that much for 2 1 year rentals.

No. It's only really really really bad for Edmonton.
This would be an absurd steal for Ottawa for two pending UFAs.

How can you possibly say that Ottawa can get more for each individually when they got far less for one of the premier players in the league?

 

[Asimplehockeyfan]

Too many rentals, if stone was extended then I'd say it would be worth it. I do think that you could get rid of lucic contract with that package.

You know what else is really really really bad for Edmonton? Lucic's contract

San Jose wasn't dumping one of the worst contracts in the league as part of their deal for Karlsson

 

[VainGretzky]

When a proposal is as bad as this for rentals thread needs to be closed imo

As a Leafs fan I thought Martin had no value, Leo wouldn't get a contract over $1.5 million. There are GM's who believe Russell is good and is worth his contract.

Don't really care. The Oilers are giving 3 premium assets in that trade just to offload a contract for 2 soon to be free agents. Horrendous.
