Proposal: EDM-WPG

[Roof Daddy]

Pretty simple, the Oil would be very interested in whichever winger becomes the cap casualty for the Jets. I don’t know that it’s guaranteed the Jets look to move one of them (Laine/Connor/Ehlers) and instead get creative elsewhere (trade Trouba, pay to dump Kulikov), just guaging whether a deal for our 1st + would interest them?

Is our 1st (currently 8th overall) enough to land Ehlers? Maybe we add Bear to that?

To WPG: 8th overall, Bear

To EDM: Ehlers, UFA rights to Tanev

If a player is becoming a cap casualty it certainly isnt Laine/Connor/Ehlers. It's Kulikov and/or Perreault

That is a horrible deal for the Jets. If your 1st ends up in the top 5, then maybe it would be worth considering.

 

[Troy]

Ehlers, Conner, Laine would never be available. Those are not cash casualties. Id say Perreault, Kulikov, to the lesser extent Little. And that pkg wont even bring anything close to discussing

 

[Ragdoll]

Why is a team looking to compete for the cup for years to come trade away a top 6 forward for a draft pick? They have plenty of pieces they could move before Ehlers name even comes up. Edmonton though.. would be all over this.

8th pick + Bear for one of Ehlers, Connor, or Laine.... Sign me up

Doubt Winnipeg touches that.

If the pick was higher than 8 but not top 2 I'd make it available for Laine/Connor not Ehlers.

Again, Winnipeg wouldn't touch it.

If it's top 2 it's not being traded, period.

 

[Maukkis]

Because when you're in a cap crunch, what you should do is to trade away the cost-controlled piece you already have.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Out of curiosity, Peg seems uber-stacked.

Who are you guys protecting next year in the expansion draft?

 

[CaptainSexyPants]

Makes more sense for the Jets than the Oilers, IMO.
Edmonton can't add a 6 mil player without sending a significant amount back. Even if that weren't the case, a winger isn't the right place to spend that imaginary money.

 

[Hunter368]

Pass from the Jets, Ehlers wouldn’t be available for that and he’s one of the last pieces we would move for cap reasons.

Depends on the Trouba situation. I'd assume it's 7-3-1 though either way. Curious who fills those protection slots too.

Wings are our #1 priority this offseason.
Also, money can be moved to fit in 6m quite easily.

 

[Flair Hay]

You guys could get Perreault really cheap quite likely. Not a sexy add, but he would help every player he plays with.

 

[tgo0]

Ehlers/Connor/Laine not available for picks. Little (if we sign Hayes) and Perrault could be though

 

[Hunter368]

Ehlers/Connor/Laine not available for picks. Little (if we sign Hayes) and Perrault could be though

You think Little would waive to go to the Oilers? NMC

MP has a modified NMC, good chance Oilers are his list....a good GM might be able to sell him on a top 6/9 winger role.

 

[Ctrain2k]

What’s the ask on Perreault?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

You guys could get Perreault really cheap quite likely. Not a sexy add, but he would help every player he plays with.

Describing players as not sexy gives me Chiarelli night terrors.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Even if Wpg was dumb enough to make this trade, how do the Oilers fit Ehlers in cap wise?

The expansion draft isn't for another 2 and a half years

 

[Roof Daddy]

Trade Gagner+4th to Ottawa (they need to hit the floor) for someone like Klimchuk/Tambellini (who we won't qualify). Clears 3.15, plus an existing 7.75 mil in space.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Little has a full NMC. Kulikov has a 6 team NTC. Perrault has a 5 team NTC (and has underperformed this year). The teams with cap space and enough desperation to actually take the latter two might also be on their no go list. It's not as easy as you think.

The other option would be trading Trouba if he's not going to sign long term there anyway. That's an option.

Why is a team looking to compete for the cup for years to come trade away a top 6 forward for a draft pick? They have plenty of pieces they could move before Ehlers name even comes up. Edmonton though.. would be all over this.

Remind me how Winnipeg acquired Byfuglien (and Ladd)? And how did the team that gave them up do afterwards?

Yeah I could see both waiving but I generally don’t factor those in during make believe trade talks since no one knows what players think, even regardless of public comments (since a lot are cookie cutter generic 95% of the time).

I'd trade Connor for a 3rd oa. Or a 4th oa and Ethan Bear. Edmonton would probably say a hard no.

 

[780il]

I'd strongly consider it tbh. We need impact players now and Connor would look nice next to Nuge at 2lw.

 

[Jeti]

I'd trade Connor for a 3rd oa. Or a 4th oa and Ethan Bear. Edmonton would probably say a hard no.

WTF? How many 3rd or 4th overall picks ended up better than Connor? 25-30%? That's not even a coin flip and whatever player they get will be years away from paying off. That's a horrible deal that makes the team worse both in the short term and long term.
