Speculation: Marincin or Klefbom who would you trade

[rockinghockey]

I am not saying that I want to trade either of these guys but if we end up moving one of these guys to make this team better which one would you trade and why?

I know that Marincin had the better year but I would keep Klefbom he just has so much more that can help this team. He can play left or right side, has the size, very good at winning battles and so poised with the puck.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Neither.

 

[Dorian2]

Neither.

This.

 

[Aerchon]

Where is the none of the above option.

Both have the potential to be top pairing types. Most top pairing types take a good 5-10 years to get there. You do not trade guys like this out of your organization unless you are sure they are not going to reach that potential.

If you HAVE to trade one, you trade Kelfbom. Just cause Marincin is further along in his development and the better player right now. Bird in the hand versus 2 in the bush.

I'd actually pull a Tambo: keep both and wait and see what's actually there.

What's the best case scenario right now? Selling high on Marincin in case he's actually a dud and just got lucky for a stretch? The return isn't going to be worth it.

Risk of regretting it outweighs any potential immediate returns in both cases.

whoever gets me a sick return,

Unlikely hypotheticals get their own thread now?

 

[OttawaOilers]

We would NEVER trade either of these.

We'd trade Schultz as a 'prospect' before these pair..

 

[McShogun99]

Ference or Nikitin.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Justin Schultz. Id rather have a competent dmen who are good at defense and moving the puck than one who who is bad at defense and can move the puck.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

We have too many left D prospects, but I wouldn't trade either at this point. Keep the competition tight so they have to push each other for jobs. When we get one of the big 3 LD's (Nurse, Marincin, Klefbom) trade value high and another looks clearly ready to step in and take over, move one then not before. If we are going to prune a LD I'd prefer one from the bottom of our group (looking in Musil and Gernat's general direction).

 

[Da McBomb]

i like them both too much and would be crushed if either was moved. Would much rather move a Musil/Gernat and a 2nd or something instead in a trade.

And with a "speculation" tag that indicates some rational basis for thinking it will happen.

 

[McArthur]

I think Klefbom nets a better return and its funny because I think Marincin is the better hockey player. But I'm always biased towards Martin, I've been routing for the kid since we first signed him. Ideally, hold onto both. Realistically, I have to believe that one of Marincin, Klefbom, or Schultz is going to be traded. soon.

 

[Mr Forever]

Neither. I'm ecstatic to have Marincin, Klefbom and Nurse.

Unless it was for a bonafide top 2 Center with size or in a package for an established top pair defenseman I am not moving either of them, no chance.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Marincin was solid for half a season and Klefbom looked great in his call up. It's honestly to hard to call at the moment. They both have lots of upside, to bad one of them couldn't play on the right side

 

[Aceboogie]

Hopefully neither, and we trade Schultz.

Marincin is already an NHL D, no rmore waiting for him, hes arrived. Klefbom is not far behind, and could be in the NHL with a good preseason.

Last year the goal was to move one to acquire an actual NHL D, well both are that now

 

[McStimperi]

Neither one of them, please. They do not have enough value to justify a trade for now, and could prove to be solid for us for years to come.

 

[Aceboogie]

Marincin will be the poster boy for Oilers development if he turns out next season. He is a rare, rare win for Stu.

Drafted out of the 1st round, project pick, developed 2 years in junior followed by 1.5 seasons in the AHL before NHL.

Klefbom as well. I hope he gets some more AHL time though. 2 rare wins for the Oilers.

 

[Valic]

Justin Schultz

 

[PeakMcOil]

Klefbom only because of the injury concerns.
