Most Valuable Oiler #7

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

Who do you think is the next most valuable Oiler going forward?

Consider age, contract, injury history, positional value, leadership, potential, etc... One way of thinking of it would be: in a trade to a neutral team, who would bring the greatest return?

[Nostradumbass]

Perron, Petry, Schultz, Fayne, Marincin, Klefbom in that order.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Voted Schultz.

My list so far:

1) Taylor Hall
2) Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
3) Darnell Nurse
4) Nail Yakupov
5) Leon Draisaitl
6) Jordan Eberle
7) Justin Schultz

 

[flyersfan018]

Gotta be Perron.

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

Nurse at 6? Blech.

 

[McBrom7]

Perron. He was our best player last year, minus Hall.

 

[s7ark]

Schultz. His potential is too high.

 

[LTIR]

Nurse is way too high.. shouldnt be top 10.

Schultz, Perron, Scrivens have the potential to give Hall a run for being the MVP next season. Petry should also be ahead of Marincin, Klefa and Nurse.

 

[McGlassbangers]

1. Hall
2. RNH
3. Eberle
4. Yakupov
5. Nurse
6. Draisaitl
7. Schultz
8. Perron
9. Petry
10. Marincin

 

[sepHF]

Perron would be a one year rental, I don't think he's more valuable then RFA Schultz currently in a trade.

Nurse is way too high.. shouldnt be top 10.

agreed, not sure how people figure Nurse would bring more back in a trade than Schultz... I don't think people are reading the OPS parameters.

 

[TheBusDriver]

Yeah, thought Nurse is a couple spots too high.

 

[The Nuge]

agreed, not sure how people figure Nurse would bring more back in a trade than Schultz... I don't think people are reading the OPS parameters.

Seriously? Even ignoring the fact that they're 5 years apart, I'm not sure Nurse isn't already the better player

 

[lakai17]

Scrivens getting no respect

Perron has two years left. I think that he would definitely fetch more in trade than Schultz at this point. Would you trade Perron for Gardiner?

Also, I think you're underrating Nurse.

 

[Dorian2]

Boy...Shultz is really losing his mojo.

 

[sepHF]

ahh you're right, I always mix his contract up.

I like Nurse but Schultz has already proven he can bring offense at this level, that is pretty valuable it itself, Nurse is still relatively unknown.

I guess it depends on the team, not many teams gIve up a lot of assets for prospects who haven't even played a single NHL game.

God dammit. I typed out this nice long analysis and then somehow I was logged out and couldn't post and now I lost all my work. Too lazy to do it again but basically:

Teams are going to pay more in a trade for proven talent, even if that talent is not as great. For most teams winning now is more important than winning later which is why David Perron will get more than Draisaitl or Nurse or Schultz.

LD, DN, JS may be more valuable to the Oilers but I don't think you're going to get as much in return for a trade now.

Should be:
Hall
RNH
Eberle
Perron
Yakupov

IMO

Haha sorry

Things got a little sloppy this weekend out in Edson

 

[Up the Irons]

most valuable today, as in who's the best player? or most valuable to the organization today, or going forward?

most valuable to the organization today, I have it

1. Hall
2. RNH
3. Eberle
4. Nurse (tho, he too passes Eberle soon)
5. Draisaitl (him too)
6. Yak.

going foward, I predict it will look like this:

1. Hall
2. RNH
3. Nurse
4. Draisaitl
5. Eberle
6. Yak.
