Oilers lose, maybe throw in Bennett

 

[McWeber]

This Oiler fan says hell no. We need Nuge more than another #4 D. Also Nuge> Brodie imo.

 

[780il]

Oh hell no

Nuge >> Brodie, plus we need one of our 3 good forwards a hell of a lot more than another second pairing d to add to the collection.

This is closer IMO. Similar tot he Leafs/Avs trade, but not quite as lopsided IMO.

I still wouldn't do it if I were the Oilers though. They need the offense RNH provides.

Bennett will never be a thrown in to any deal
I understand why the oilers can't or don't want to trade rnh for Brodie. They can't play with just 2fwds

 

[belair]

Brodie is a 30 year old impending UFA.

How about no.

 

[Addison Rae]

Awful for the Oilers

[Goonitup44]

Sorry Chia is no longer with the Oilers, zero chance on this

 

[Nanuuk]

Bad deal for the Flames. I'd rather target Palmieri in NJ.

 

[Mazatt]

Bruh what the f*** that's terrible value for Nugent Hopkins. How can Flames fans think this shit be fair?

Nope

I think you Flames have will have to temper expectations slightly. Brodie is not bringing a player like Nuge back.

If it was a year later, and Nuge made it clear he was not signing with the Oilers, there might be a deal.

How about no.

You realize they are only 3 years apart in age right? Brodie is 29, Nuge 26. Both are also pending UFAs; Brodie in '20, Nuge in '21.

Bottom line is Oilers need D just as bad as another F, maybe even moreso.

You don't think a top-4 D - on a sweetheart contract no less - capable of playing on the top pair is bringing back a 2C? I respectfully disagree. He was almost traded for one (Kadri) a few days ago. Maybe if he was a cap dump, then yes.

Yes? No?

No. We dont need top 4 D, we have 4 of those. We need a number 1, but.... Brodie is not that.

We need quality forwards much much more. Maybe if you took Lucic or added something significant. This is awful for Edmonton.

Woah woah woah. WOAH. We only knew that Brodie was involved in a deal that also involved Kadri. It is not known if it was one for one. Being on a sweetheart deal means jackall when it's 1 year for a top 4 d-man that can't really carry his own weight defensively. If you compared that to Barrie who is the main driver of his parings, and they needed a 3C to get Kerfoot while also retaining 50% on barrie, yeah, these eals are nowhere similar.

You have 4 top-4 D?

Fine, we'll take Lucic. You take Neal.

Capisce?

 

[McRpro]

Jihad on you OP! No deal.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Only if Giordano is coming with him.

Okay now Lucic for Neal is horrible for Flames.

 

[iCanada]

Okay now Lucic for Neal is horrible for Flames.

How so? Neal is signed for longer at the same cap hit, and Lucic scored more last year. And unlike Neal, Lucic isn't useless when he isn't scoring.

 

[Mazatt]

Paying more money for someone who has a worse chance at bouncing back compared to Neal, and Lucic has to be protected in the expansion draft. It's just all around bad for the Flames. Those 5 or so points Lucic has on Neal means shit when they're both awful.

Reigning Norris Trophy winner will cost you your captain.
