Proposal: OEL for a Center

[rt]

Not sure his contract would fit, but stepan would literally be almost an exact replica replacement of bozak lmaooo

Stepan(50%)+OEL for Schenn+Dunn?

 

[elitepete]

I would consider Horvat for OEL.

Ryan Strome

Habs have a lot of young Forwards and need a LHD. Kotk + Suzuki?

Name me one reason why OEL would waive his NMC from Arizona to Montreal? No way i see him leaving Arizona for Montreal.

 

[BlueBaron]

I think OEL would be the perfect partner for one of EK or Burns and so I would consider Couture, if there was another deal in place for a forward

You guys want to do the anti-Leaf and have your whole payroll on the Blueline?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

How about Danault? Excellent in faceoff, solid two way game and good for 50-60 points a year. Also only 26 years old.

For OEL take far more then Danault.

Ryan Strome

Strome as a main piece isn't getting you Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

 

[Pat Riot]

I would offer Kotkaniemi and Drouin for OEL and negotiation right with Hall

Coyotes would appreciate the Cap relief
Arizona Coyotes - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
projected Cap Hit for '20-21:$79,990,000

Strome was drafted 5th overall, 2 years after OEL was 6th overall

Strome has 59 points and 41 assists this season
'yotes leader Schmaltz has 45 pts and 34 assists

bundles can be tweaked on both sides

I feel for the OP having done the #1C shuffle for ages after we lost Mats but unfortunately teams so rarely trade #1 C's that when they do come up the price is crazy. I remember watching other teams outbid us on Carter and Richards (both of them) and I usually felt the other team paid too much and was glad our GM dodged the bullet (amazing considering we had Burke).
I look at teams with 2 top #1 Cs like Pitt, Tampa, Edm (yes Oiler fans I conceded Dra is an Elite #1 C), and Toronto and I don't see anyone parting with their guys.

I would look at a guy like Kadri. You can probably get 65-70 points out of him on a good year and his D is solid. He's the closest thing I can think of that would work though I'm sure there are a few others I'm overlooking. Then again Colorado may tell you to go away.

Ya Ryan Strome had a career year didn’t he filling in for Zib when he was injured. His value really isn’t as high as his stats make it appear.

That's a good offer. I also think the Couture offer and the Schenn offer both make a lot of sense.

Man does no one read?

I do read, I think the problem is your understanding or you thinking you have stated something you have not.

If you think your mention of a deal for another forward somehow suggests trading a big money defenseman, that is not clear at all. Perhaps you simply do not grasp that I was mostly joking and that you currently have 11, 8 and 7 million dollar blueliners already.

Perhaps you are just irrationally hostile? Whatever it is your response makes 0 sense.

I hope you see the irony of your post.

Great. Wanna read deeper in the thread?

Oh...now I am supposed to dig up old posts for a joke? Pass. Easier for you to get a sense of humor.

It's easy to be irrationally hostile right now. Breathe.

You don't think Panarin has anything to do with Strome's career year? They've been stapled together all season.

 

[Neutrinos]

That's a good offer. I also think the Couture offer and the Schenn offer both make a lot of sense.

As someone said, it's doubtful the Sharks would create a hole in their lineup by parting with Couture

Schenn seems like the best fit given the emergence of Thomas in St. Louis

I like the idea of Schenn for OEL.

It’s literally 9 posts after the first one.

Like what? Danault was top 10 in votes for Selke last and most likely would have been top 10 again. He’s good for at least 50 points a year playing against the other team’s top players night in night out. His faceoffs numbers are always great and his possession stats are absolutely stunning considering the competition he faces on a daily basis.

Yotes could also work out a long term deal with him before the trade if contract is an issue.

OEL signed long term with Arizona for a reason, He loves playing there plus his NMC says no way to Montreal.
