Proposal: Edmonton and Minny

[Crabapple]

If we were to move RNH for a dman, we'd want a legit top pairing guy, which he's not worth. Value wise it's a decent proposal, but not what we need.

Interesting. What is a legit top pairing guy?

Spurgeon.

 

[LTIR]

Spurgeon.

7.58M per for a lot of years. Too rich for Oilers. Should be able to re-up Nuge for cheaper than that to fill an actual need.

He's worth it.

 

[KaprizovEntitlelist]

He's worth it.

Wild aren't trading Spurgeon point blank . Spurgeon was guerin first signing & has complete non movement.


No one is moving Spurgeon for 1 year of rnh

 

[2Pair]

Spurgeon.

Done in a heartbeat. And I don't even like Nugent-Hopkins

 

[Tobias Kahun]

You haven't even explained your side yet. What's so comical about thinking that Klefbom/Nurse are better than Brodin?

That poster said he wouldn’t trade fiala or kaprizov for first overall. Take his opinion with a grain of salt.

Where was this a year ago?

Or Draisaitl

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Or Draisaitl

Certainly you can’t be serious

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Yeah that’s what he said

 

[Spurgeon]

I feel like this thread has been repeated continuously for 5+ years.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He’s serious.

 

[MessierII]

Summer 2016 was the last time this might have made some sense for Edmonton.

 

[LTIR]

Only attractive part is that Brodin is BFF of Klefbom. Don't need the player in Edmonton with his handedness and skillset especially if the cost is the Nuge.

Maybe in the offseason if RNH prices himself out of our range and we are flipping Larsson for a top 6 winger (cheaper than RNH) in another deal.

Edmonton isn’t moving RNH period, so the point is moot, but Brodin is of zero interest.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Or Draisaitl

Draisaitl’s worth more than first overall. Significantly more.

I think people misunderstood what I said. I said he wouldn’t trade Kap/Fiala for Draisiatl. I think Drai > 1OA, but not significantly

You always have to factor $$ into any discussion of value. A Lafreniere on a ELC deal might be more desirable for some teams than Draisaitl at 8.5/per, or whatever he makes. It all depends on circumstances.

 

[GOilers88]

The fact Edmonton fans Believe this, it's comical and funny & so not even realistic

What's unrealistic is acting like there's some sort of f***in gulf between the three players. There isn't. That's the point. Just move on.

I could come up with hundreds of trades that would improve teams. That doesn't mean they all make sense and suit the actual needs of all the teams. That's what this thread is all about.

 

[GOilers88]

I think people misunderstood what I said. I said he wouldn’t trade Kap/Fiala for Draisiatl. I think Drai > 1OA, but not significantly

How is any player who posted back to back 100 point seasons not worth significantly more than a single draft pick?

That's insanity. I don't even care that it's Drai it could have been a bevy of other NHL players. The value some people put on draft picks is borderline delusion.

Draisaitl is 24, a leading candidate for the MVP, plays center and wing, and is signed for 5 more years at $8.5M. I can't think of a single team that would not take him over the #1 pick this year where the prize is a winger that I think most see as an average first overall. Even a team like Toronto takes Draisaitl despite cap issues and their center depth. They could turn around and flip Nylander or Marner packaged with some of their depth guys for a defenseman.

 

[57special]

I guess nobody read the part where i mentioned the value of the contract. 925K v 8.5M matters in a league where the cap is flat. In other words, picking Lafreniere over Draisaitl also allows you to keep a player like Josi or Pastrnak. So, the question is, would you rather have Lafreniere and Pastrnak, or Draisaitl?

I can promise you that Pastrnak or Josi wouldn't be the cap casualties if a team had both?

What a dumb hypothetical.
