Value of: EDM moving down in the draft

[Patagonia]

Joel Perrson
Bear

But Bouchard us the main one

RHD is terrible and can’t be serious with these prospects.

Larrson is soon gone. Bouchard is the only decent RHD prospect and already rushed. Interest in Barrie continues to consider filling this massive hole.

As an Oilers fan I would be interested in moving down to nab a guy like Tomasino, and then get a good asset in return. Ideas?

Would Tomasino be available at pick 31 ? If yes, the Islanders will swap spots with you or just trade you that pick

 

[Digitalbooya]

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

What about Tyson Jost?

 

[AKL]

The trade's always been proposed under the assumption that Turcotte is available at #8, so a lot depends on how likely you think that is.

To be fair, I'd also do it for Zegras.

It's funny, because I feel like what's actually going to happen is this:
1.) We keep #12
2.) Two of the non-Hughes centers drop to us
3.) We pick a wing or a defenseman

Sakic seems high on him and doubt being available. He is great defensively and improving offensively. Might need better Wingers or move to LW.

What's even scarier is that we're guaranteed to be able to pick one of Caufield, Podkolzin, Cozens, Byram, Dach, Turcotte, Krebs, Zegras, Soderstrom, Boldy, Newhook or Kaliyev, but not only that, we're guaranteed to have our choice of 3 of them. And all of them could be really good players. And I don't think I'd be upset about any of them. And I have this creeping feeling in the back of my head that we're going to take Ville Heinola.

You are trolling oiler fans with that response. I doubt you've seen them play. The swedish guy is a pretty good pick moving d man and Bear will be a solid d man as well

 

[DakrSnooze]

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 ****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!

This post reminds me of my college teacher who sends out emails where half of the text is in capitals and red font. I agree with what you're saying, but annoying nonetheless lol.

Bouchard has had a 7 game tryout at the beginning of the season and then was sent to his junior team, has recently been assigned to Bakersfield since his junior team has been eliminated but has yet to dress for a game in Bakersfield yet, he is some how being rushed?

Bouchard should have stayed down and shouldn’t have played the 7 games when he struggled. He is the future and most valued prospect.

No, a 7 game "hey, this is what the NHL is like" isn't a bad thing. In fact, most of the time it's a really good thing. It shows the player what they need to work on.

How am I trolling?

I’ve commented on a well known problem at RHD and Wing. Oilers should just keep the pick and select a Winger or Soderstrom. I defended against other posts commenting on lack of DMen which is not necessarily true with LHD.

If you seriously believe the Oilers are stacked throughout the lineup, then you’re delusional. The only success with the Oilers is the annual missing the playoffs to win lotteries.

Didn’t realize Oilers are cup contenders.

No. That’s not what anyone is saying. They’re replying to you saying that Bouchard is rushed because he was brought up for 7 games. And if you really think 7 games is rushing a prospect, then you’re trolling.
