Confirmed with Link: [EDM/FLA] Steve Pinizzotto & Jack Combs For Derek Nesbitt & Ryan Martindale

[Mentallydull]

For what its worth Pinnizotto is a career minor league RW. My guess is he's included in the deal to replace Pitlick in OKC who will be coming up. Guessing the player getting moved is one of Hemsky, Gagner, or Yakupov.

Hmm, I rather like this line of thinking.

Has anything be confirmed?

Has losing made this fanbase dumb?

"Maybe it's one of their big young centers in Barkov or Bjugstad?"

"Hopefully Gagner is going the other way"?

C'mon HFOil. You're better than that. This is a minor league deal with minor league assets. Florida won't be giving us Barkov, Bjugstad, Matthias, or Kulikov. Minor league deals happen all the time. They don't hurt an organization. They're not usually a sign of someone else, nor to deals with minor league players "get bigger." It's a deal for OKC, and that's all it is.

It isn't going to destroy the franchise, nor does it mean that the organization is inept or blind to the issues on the big club.

Some of you expect way too much.

What is this, some kind of logical post? I didn't know that was allowed here.

cant believe Mact is wasting his time with this minor league garbage trades when he could be trying to get crosby and doughty for corey potter +

 

[Seachd]

I would assume this isn't an Oilers trade. The only one mentioned with an NHL contract is Pinizzotto, so he's the only one who can be traded.

A Pinizzotto-for-future-considerations wouldn't be out of the question, I guess.

Whoa, whoa; let's not get crazy here. It's going to cost at least Potter AND Larsen for either of those guys.

C'mon man.

I guess Nesbitt wanted out. I don't see much point to this trade otherwise.

Tbh im pretty sure both Matthias and Kulikov is up for grab if we could get something good in return.

Looks like it's:
Pinizzotto and Combs
for
Nesbitt and Martindale

Another beauty 3rd round pick (Martindale) wasted. Our scouting has been so bad for too long. Not impressed at all.

Well I'll be damned.

Edit: Ahhh that makes sense. Panthers say Pinizzotto for Martindale, which would be the official trade.

That's true. But we needed to cut bait here. Neither one were going any farther in the system. It would have been nice to get something back other than fringe AHLers. Sideways move at best.

 

[McLotto 97]

Unless the oilers have decided they were not resigning Ryan then this was a dumb trade. A career AHLer for (maybe a career AHLer but a glimmer of hope)

Either way no sleep will be lost.

no, they are not blind, but they are (or at least appear to be) in denial. they are clinging to this misguided belief that they can keep all of the core players they believe so strongly in, and improve the lineup.

there are two problems with this. 1. if they want to at least compete within the next 2 years, they can't do this without trading a value asset. they can tell themselves they can all day; it isn't happening. 2. if their plan is to just wait for prospect D to develop (which, obviously, it is), then they will not be competitive for at least 3, and probably 4, more seasons which risks losing the will of key players to stay and fans to become apathetic.

The fact we traded a way a 3rd rounder kind of proves what many have said about MacGregor: If it's not top 10, he's got a **** record

 

[nabob]

Not a bad thought. Both Yak and Hemsky are injured now. So I'm betting that lil SS lives to see another day for a while on RW.

It is becoming a sad but true fact. Our scouting stinks. Both Amateur and Pro scouting. Gawd, I hate our Pro Scouting record in recent years...
Beside the #1 picks, this organization is pretty much producing garbage everywhere we look.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Piss poor trade unless Pinozzotto is a guy that they feel can be a good NHL 4th liner here.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Not sure how this helps OKC either:

We are adding a combined 40gp. 6-3-9 with 85pim (67 are from Pinozzotto) and subtracting 60gp. 13-16-29

 

[ManByng]

^i don't belive the Oilers were going to re-sign Martindale, so it's good to get something for him.

Unless that something is Pinozzotto for an NHL spot it makes no sense. Combs is older and more useless than Martindale.

Everything the Oilers do is piss poor so it shouldn't surprise you

 

[Groucho]

Kind of disappointed the org gave up on Martindale.

 

[thadd]

Nobody can complain about this, really. I doubt the Oilers were even going to resign Martindale. His effort level is incredibly streaky and when he's on he's a 2nd line center in the AHL at best.

 

[Oilers4life1987]

Well considering they don't have much depth down the middle prospect wise, idk if this is a good deal.
