Friedman: Oilers may look to trade Brandon Davidson

[oilers89]

Not to sure on Tampa's D situation. But I think they will have trouble in the expansion draft protecting guys with NMC.
How would a Davidson for Filpulla swap look? adds on either side?

Flipppula can come in this year andxt and play 2/3 line center and help mentor puljarvi next season.

thoughts?

 

[Mad Brills*]

What do Leaf fans think of Davidson for Soshnikov.

I'd do it.

Davidson's an upgrade on marincin and soshnikov's a good bottom 6 player, but the leafs have 2 guys that can replace him right now

Yeah, I'd do it.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Maybe use him to make an attempt to get Green and Vanek.

This is another deal I like but adjustments would have to be made to make the money work. Filppula would also have to waive, but if he did that could potentially be a massive hurdle cleared for Yzerman at expansion. It's an interesting proposal.

 

[Why]

Does something around Davidson get us in the Green conversation? Or are looking more at a 3rd line C type return?

If Filpulla did not waive, would Killorn be a possibility?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Lazar for Davidson

Oilers take that and run.

 

[belair]

His term is too long.

We've already got that money tied up in Pouliot.

Oilers take that and run.

Lazar has one assist this year and is waiver eligible. I'm not certain they'd even pick him off of waivers to be honest.

 

[snipes]

Oilers take that and run.

Doubt it, Lazar isn't even an NHL calibre forward. Davidson is a legit NHL D man.

 

[WTFMAN99]

What are the Oilers needs?

 

[belair]

What are the Oilers needs?

- An offensive winger, preferably right-handed. Would also settle for a third line center.

- A UFA veteran defenseman, maybe two. I'm personally thinking Seidenberg and Franson.

- A backup goalie.

 

[Homesick]

Least accurate statement in this thread.

Dumb post. The expansion draft will force teams to make moves they don't want to make.

You realize Lazar would be exposed to the expansion draft right?

The least intelligent move the Oilers could make is trading Davidson for crap like Lazar. He's never been able to show that he belongs in the NHL and playing off WJHC hype but that will be coming to an end. He won't even get claimed by Vegas. He sucks

 

[Mad Brills*]

would also settle for a third line center.

tyler bozak!

Soshnikov (younger) is a young offensive winger.

Bozak (we'd need something else coming with Davidson). Probably a damned good 3rd line centre to have. Lets you move out RNH.

UFA defenseman = Hunwick and Polak. Your choice but neither are worth Davidson.

 

[belair]

I don't think Soshnikov does much for us. The Oilers would be looking for a more established winger and one with two or less years remaining on their deals including this season. Bozak is a possibility but like Filppula, the Leafs would have to make the salary work.

I wouldn't trade Davidson for another defenseman. The guys I mentioned could be had for picks.

Bozak, Smith (you can waive him just need to equalize contracts going back) for Hendricks and Davidson?

 

[Mad Brills*]

Leafs don't need to take smith off, can just waive him.

leafs would clear a small bit of cap hit hendricks coming back anyways.

We're at 49/50 contracts because Corrado didn't get claimed so i'd rather have flexibility.

 

[Paralyzer]

OMG. Stop the presses. I don't even know who that is.

Google is your friend. Use him. Otherwise, keep your comments to yourself.

It's a reasonable offer.

 

[Titsuple]

tyler bozak!

I would do this. Fills a hole on the Oilers. Oilers have improved massive in every category except FO%.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Why are so many Oil fans interested in getting Lazar

I don't get it either.

 

[LeafChief]

Leafs/Oilers

The Leafs need an upgrade on D (Marincin/Hunwick/Polak in the lineup at the same time isn't cutting it).

Marchenko was picked up on waivers. He might be able to stabilize the third pairing. He also might not.

Friedman reported last night that the Oilers might be looking to move Davidson because of the x-draft.

I'm not too familiar with Davidson but have read/heard good things and it sounds like he could be that stabilizing force on the third pair.

Leafs are rich with wingers at the moment (on the team and in the system).

Would something like this work?



Soshnikov



Davidson


Again - I can't say that I know much about Davidson. Not even certain I would want to do this. Sosh has looked really good this year but has been stuck on the 4th line. Leafs also need to make room up front for guys like Kapanen and Leipsic.

Would this get it done? Does this make sense for either team?

 

[The Nuge]

OMG. Stop the presses. I don't even know who that is.

That's not really something you want to admit.

Did someone forget the reason this thread started?

When a team is stuck between a rock and a hard place nobody is your friend.

How are we stuck between a rock and a hard place? If someone doesn't want to pay up and trade for him, we happily keep him. Even if we lose him to expansion, we've got Benning, who has looked very good this year, as his replacement.

What do Leaf fans think of Davidson for Soshnikov.

Gross. Slepy can't even stay in the lineup, and he's younger, MUCH bigger, and just flat out better.
