Value of: EDM moving down in the draft

[Donuts]

8th oa for 9th oa

 

[ManofSteel55]

Why would the wild do tbat? Not a lot of difference between 8 and 12

It would likely depend on a certain player being on the board at 8, who isn't expected to be there still at 12.

Wild fans really really really want Turcotte.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Try and get Drouin and #15 for #8. Not sure if MTL is ready to do that, though.

How about Mtl 15th for Edm 8 + Manning? That is my answer to the idiotic 15 to 8

 

[thadd]

No no no no no!
What on earth are we talking about?
Are we talking about not getting Hopkins, Drai and McDavid help so that they can all play their natural position at center?
NO! That's crazy! I've got that dumb meme of Dana White saying "That's f***ing illegal" ringing in my head just thinking of it.

We pretend we're the Winnipeg Jets and we don't trade 1st rounders for a very long time. We draft, we draft and then we draft some more until we've got QUALITY PLAYERS which would make it on any team in the league fighting for roster spots.

No more of this pretending to do it right crap.

NO!

 

[Calad]

How does Bjugstad+Pitt 1st for 8th sound?

We got bounced early in round 1 so it’s probably between 16-20.

Side note, is it the first team out that gets the 16th draft spot or how do they determine those spots?

Not how that works. Your pick will land in 20-23 range

 

[ChaoticOrange]

No interest in Bjugstad. Trading for players whose defining attribute is “damn that mofo is huge” will leave a permanent chill down my spine .

 

[Anthony5967]

Curious if a #8OA for #22OA+Namestnikov+Pionk is doable. If not, Kreider for 8OA if Edmonton has intentions of re-signing?

 

[allsilverdreams]

Oilers should keep their pick and draft a much needed Winger.

Keep their pick and draft a much needed DEFENSEMAN.
Fixed it for you

The Oilers system is flush with promising young defensemen. Bouchard, Bear, Jones, Samorukov, Persson, Lagesson at various stages of development. They could stand to add some skilled forwards to the pool.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Oilers should keep their pick and draft a much needed Winger.

Yeah, one who most likely be an impact NHL player in 3-4 years at best. Another 3-4 years of McDavid's and Leon's prime years gone.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

8th for 12th and Zucker is a deal that has been talked before and one that I would do.

I'm sure you would, as that would be an exceptional deal for Edmonton.

Draft is loaded with Forwards. Oilers need a RHD and Soderstrom is the only option, but would take years to develop. Winger or 3C is a big need that can join the team much sooner.

 

[Alluckks]

Winnipeg 1st + Rangers 2nd + your pick of Fast/Namestnikov/Nieves/Pionk

We have Bouchard coming. We are not pressed for RHD

 

[Joey Moss]

Of course it's not do-able. It's not even close.

 

[Dan Kelly]

Kreider is available for that pick.

Pass

 

[Patagonia]

We have Bouchard coming. We are not pressed for RHD

Name another RHD?

 

[KingsOfCali25]

How far are you willing to move back?

Because I see LA and Edmonton as decent trade partners for outside of the draft (but also for the 8th OA)

 

[Sen sational]

8 OA + Benning + Gagner to Ottawa for 19 OA + Ceci + Chlapik

 

[Patagonia]

AVs recent playoff success, they still need a 2C and would be willing to move up.

1st-16th
Kerfoot (consecutive 40+ point seasons)
AVs -3rd

Oilers could even dump a salary if they accept a smaller package.

Are they not going to use #4 overall on a center?

 

[Digitalbooya]

Wild fans really really really want Turcotte.

I mean, for a good reason.

 

[Rpenny]

Name another RHD?

Joel Perrson
Bear

But Bouchard us the main one

 

[Patagonia]

Depends on the Hawks. If they choose a Forward, AVs could select Byram.
