Proposal: Oilers and preds

[preds1]

Oil need impactful Dmen now.
We don't have any available.

End of story.

 

[PredsHabs]

If they are drafting in the top two they aren't trading either of those picks, the only thing that would really change is it could potentially make someone like draisaitl more available. Not exactly sure I trade anything the Oilers would want for Draisaitl.

I was not speaking of them trading the pick. One of their C's could be available.

 

[PredsV82]

Who's the 6/7 d men? Weber/josi ekholm/Ellis jones/Bartley

Plus the d men the preds have coming up. So I believe the preds can give up their 3rd 4th dman plus prospects and picks for a great forward.

Volchenkov is 6, Bartley is 7. And Diaby is the only defensive prospect who looks even remotely close and even at that it will be next year at the earliest before he's ready.

Bottom pairing dmen are a dime a dozen in free agency. Not having anyone ready to call up is irrelevant to me.

well, the problem with that in this scenario is will the Oil trade us anything we need for a bottom pair defenseman?

 

[thecloser]

i want us in on the Perron sweepstakes. Just don't know what I'd give to get him.

Wilson + Bourque?

Wilson could play C there...

Why ?

Wilson's playing well with Smith and Hook, we don't need to be making moves for the sake of making moves.

 

[Gnashville]

We have no one to trade. Unless the Oilers make an offer for Bartley. All of the best defenseman are on the team already. The Klein trade last year handcuffed this organization.

 

[jwhouk]

We have no one we want/need to trade for (except maybe a time machine for Olli Jokinen).

The Oilers have too many needs, and not enough players to trade with.

 

[thecloser]

So I'm alone with the wanting David Perron thing here? I think he's an upgrade over Wilson. I know he's playing well but I prefer Perron if he's available

 

[BigFatCat999]

I want to wait and see. If Wilson-Hook-Smith keep clicking I'm good. It's a 2nd line I can live with. Now comes the part where the team needs to turn the 3rd line into a 2nd line...Which might happen with Fisher

I don't want anything to do with that POS Perron. Hated him when he was on St. Louis. Hate him on the Oilers. He's bush league. He and Setoguchi can both go rot somewhere for a long time. Rather have Wilson than him any day of the week.

Kinda' my feeling too - certainly has demonstrated more consistent scoring than Willy, but he's a ******.....

 

[Pred303]

would trade seth jones for McDavid.

 

[Jonesey]

would trade seth jones for McDavid.

Would trade anyone not named Weber or Rinne for McDavid. (Yes, I'd even trade Forsberg, McDavid is going to be something very, very special.)

No I think Perron would fit well on this team, actually this is the type team he needs to be on. Seems to fit his playing style better.

If we could get a deal without sending Wilson could you imagine this every night.
Forsberg-Ribeiro-Neal
Wilson-Jarnkrok-Smith
Perron-Fisher-Cullen

Depth depth depth.

 

[nomorekids]

would trade seth jones for McDavid.

I would trade him for RNH if the Oilers wanted to make a franchise-changing trade, but it seems like the sort of move both teams would be gunshy about.

Too bad though...Nashville is already set with Weber\Josi, and the Oilers have the pieces up front to move RNH...Oilers get a franchise D potentially, and Nashville gets a young player that looks like a cornerstone C.

 

[Enoch]

I wouldn't be surprised to see some very interesting trade ideas and rumors this draft year. I would throw Jones, first round pick, + to get McDaniel, and I think Jones has special talent. It would be a huge gamble, but it's one we could afford. I also don't mind watching Jones develop into an elite two way defenseman.
