[Dazed and Confused]

Makes sense, with how much the Oil love to shake up the middle 6 another guy that can both centre and wing is a good fit

The Oil have gotten some milage out of Janmark-RNH-Brown of recent, but that is a waste of Nuge. You could slot Henrique there without losing a ton defensively.

I suspect we'll see McDrai together come the playoffs, so this would give you another middle 6 option behind Nuge.

Henrique has a NTC, does he waive for Edmonton?​

Henrique has a NTC, does he waive for Edmonton?​

He has known for months that he was going to be traded at the TDL and hasn't raised an issue with it. I think he'd go anywhere for 3 months with a chance to win a cup.

Good to know, thank you.

The video mentions Henrique would likely be amenable to the trade. The guy wants to win a Cup and Edmonton has a far better shot at it than his current team.

He will help the Oilers.

100% he would lol

Why is adding another forward their priority when Nurse and Ceci are playing top four minutes on defense?

 

[K Fleur]

For some reason I always think Henrique is like 4 years older than he actually is.

Good player though.

 

[tomd]

Henrique has 23 points in his last 23 games...I think he'll help whichever team he goes to.

Because kyle quincy retired

He has 4 playoff games in the last 12 years, might struggle in the playoffs at his age

Where he might extend is another matter. Got a young baby at home, either staying in SoCal or moving closer to family might factor in. His father in law is Stumpy Thomas, anyone know where he is these days?

 

[Rubi]

Wait... Henrique isn't a RD is he?

 

[belair]

Why is adding another forward their priority when Nurse and Ceci are playing top four minutes on defense?

Because the defense market is complete ass and centers that play 20 minutes a night have a huge defensive impact.

No need to get fancy with the packages. In my mind, this is just exactly the Monahan deal. It’ll cost the 2024 1st as the main return. They are having very similar years, and bring similar veteran versatility up front.

Frankly I prefer Henrique’s speed and two-way ability to Monahan’s size and goal scoring advantage. Rico is having an awesome year and is a good face-off guy and special teamer to boot. Gonna suck if the Oilers get him.

 

[Unsustainable]

Canes should explore Henrique

 

[BKarchitect]

I’d take that bet. Rico is a super savvy player with good mobility still…he should thrive in the playoffs.

 

[Stealth1616]

Canes should explore Henrique

Which part ?

 

[Unsustainable]

Which part ?

him as our 2c for the run

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

But why?

 

[GOilers88]

But why?

Because a responsible third line center is a good add for a team looking to make a run?

 

[Gurglesons]

Because a responsible third line center is a good add for a team looking to make a run?

Then why target Adam Henrique?

 

[GOilers88]

Then why target Adam Henrique?

Can he not play center and wing?
