Proposal: Edm/Tor

[Homesick]

If you can’t understand why either team would do this I don’t know what to say. Edmonton gets a 2C and the leafs would get the 8th overall pick which is good value for him which they could use to acquire a defenceman.

I get your point but just because he won’t be a 2C on Edmonton doesn’t mean he isn’t a 2C.

So you can understand why Edmonton wouldn't do this

I see your point but to be honest I completely forgot about RNH. But they could still trade for Kadri and have him play the 3C and put draisaitl on McDavid line.

Larsson + Puljujavri + 2nd

Kapanen + Kadri

We aren't moving 8th with the potential of someone like Turcotte being available

Take Larsson and Kadri out of the deal, I'd consider Nylander as a basis for the #8, or Kapanen as a basis for Pujlu + 2nd + Kassian

Kadri isn't worth anywhere near the 8th overall pick at this time. Too many suspensions, and he's being run out of Toronto on a rail. Someone might cough up a late first, but I don't see it, and it certainly wouldn't be from the Oilers. Maybe our 2nd rounder, although we'd need to clear some cap first to do it. Despite his flaws, I like Kadri, I just don't know if we have the luxury of bringing him in to be our 3C when we already have too many holes in our top six.

By this post you are clearly misinformed. Kadri is a 2c but with JT and Matthews here he falls to the 3 spot. Nobody is running him out of town, the Leafs need to shed salary to make the team better a problem Edmonton would love to have.

Not like the Oilers will draft anyone better than Kadri with that pick, heck with their drafting history it won’t be even close lol

Teams that drafted Luke Schenn 5th overall ought not to throw stones

Basic math should show you that the Oilers could not absorb Nylander's contract without significant $$$ going back to Toronto.

I'd do that for Kapanen. I personally wouldn't touch Nylander due to his contract. A top 10 pick, no chance unless your eating a cap dump

You clearly misread. I didn't say he is a 3C, I said he would be OUR 3C. And with McDavid and Nuge, he would be. He fits a 3C role better than Nuge does. There seems to be a lot of people talking about needing to dump him, so even if you don't think he needs to go, you can't accurately state that nobody is running him out of town.

I'd probably do it as of today. Kapanen isn't a guy we need to shed, but we need to start pinching pennies. I also think Pujlu in the Leafs system is redeemable but probably not on the Oilers-no offense.

Nazem Kadri was basically Ryan Strome on the 3rd line... the player we saw this year isn’t worth 8th overall and we have much bigger fish to fry.

Kapanen's speed would be a welcome addition. I agree Puljujavri isn't developing on Edmonton and needs a chance on another club.

 

[thadd]

He definitely would not be the 2C in Edmonton with McDavid, Draisaitl, and RNH there.
If anything the Oilers should be packaging that pick up for help on defense

Blueline or wing depth. Equally big problems for the Oilers right now.
Here's hoping we don't need to add goalie to the list.

We could roll RNH on Kadri's wing. RNH is a great playmaker and Kadri is actually a good scorer. It could be a makings of a solid 2nd line. His cap hit is pretty good for his production too.

I prefer Nuge as C, but you're correct, we could use them on the same line. Just not for the 8th overall pick.

Sorry Leafs are a playoff team they need players now, not three years from now.

Oilers are fine at C.

It's cute you think the Leafs are rebuilding.

Where in my post did I say anything about rebuilding? I said trade Kadri for the 8th and use that to acquire a defenceman. Do you only see what you want to see?

Ohhhh still in the league, yeah you bet a #7 defenceman is a great use of a top pick.

Every team has top picks that haven't panned out. It's not like this is an Edmonton exclusive issue. And even if it were, us Oiler fans are already aware of the issues our management has, we don't need Leafs fans pointing them out and thinking they've one upped us.

The only issue here is that you aren't getting the 8th for Kadri. A late first maybe, but not Edmonton's 8th.

i agree, but i told the other poster that the 8th overall pick is great value for kadri. however i dont think it would happen.

 

[Liferleafer]

Kadri is not worth the 8th pick. Kadri or Nylander should be traded for the best RHD we can get.

I mean you had a number #1 totally wash out of the league but sure.

Goes both ways pal, Oilers fans love to jump on the Leafs when their down. Don’t throw stones and expect smiles.
