Rumor: Oilers Targeting Chychrun or Ekholm, Gavrikov is the Fall Back Plan

[DaGap]

Foegele, Yamo and Campbell left to be traded

Ceci Yamo left to be traded

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Because of Tulio

You probably meant Petrov.

 

[Canovin]

Barrie was traded cause Oilers can trying to bring in Provorov

 

[Ibanez]

100% disagree. The 1st had to be used for a D upgrade with term. Schaefer could easily bust and the best case is likely a middle six winger. Barrie will be missed but he made too much for his ES role.

They got the best D man in the market IMO, massive win.

I do think he will bring some steadiness overall and that has a huge benefit. Like just calm things down back there in general. And maybe in the room a little. He’s a vet and seasoned

Lol and I could give two shits about Schaefer. Like massive “whatever”. Could be something. Could be the next JF Jacques

 

[Old Boys Club]

Foegele, Yamo and Campbell left to be traded

I think they'll keep Foegele and Campbell is not tradeable at this juncture.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I’ll predict the next domino to fall is Yamo + picks for:

Klingberg and Derek Grant both 50% retained

Or

Jensen and Sheary

What would ya’ll prefer of those two packages?

Jensen and Sheary by alot.

Sheary is small, but puts up more points than I thought.

Pardon?

You probably meant Petrov.

Yes, my bad. Thank you

 

[Oilhawks]

Yup, and he had playoff experience, going to the finals that one run. He’ll be hungry to win

 

[CupofOil]

I wonder if this forces L.A. to put the chips in for Chychrun.

If the Oilers are adding another D, give me Jensen.

 

[Harry Curry]

Ok im notepadding it since capfriendly aint updated yet lol

The Oilers will have $1.25M in space assuming they officially recall Desharnais. Desharnais currently has a $0 cap hit as an emergency recall.

 

[McHelpus]

How is Jenson defensively??

 

[WaitingForUser]

No.

Why?

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Yes, my bad. Thank you

I get you homie.

 

[Tarus]

Have to think the Oilers are looking at a forward. Top six RW would be nice since that's clearly a weakness, but more likely a cheap depth forward.

Hopefully that someone that contributes this time though, because Holland's deadline depth purchases have been terrible(Athoiu, Brassard)

I’ll predict the next domino to fall is Yamo + picks for:

Klingberg and Derek Grant both 50% retained

Or

Jensen and Sheary

What would ya’ll prefer of those two packages?

Jensen and Sheary, easily. A legitimate top-4 RD and a guy who has played on the wing with Ovi, Crosby, etc.

 

[McAsuno]

How is Jenson defensively??

Very good. He would drop Ceci down from a top four spot (if they don't trade Ceci)

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Crazier Idea.

Yamo ++ for Tippett and Braun(vet depth)

 

[The Safe Play]

How is Jenson defensively??

Top pair shutdown D who is very good against elites.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Foegele, Yamo and Campbell left to be traded

I'm fine with Foegele

 

[Patch101]

I just want a goalie I can be confident about, all of this feels empty without it

 

[bellagiobob]

The Oilers will have $1.25M in space assuming they officially recall Desharnais. Desharnais currently has a $0 cap hit as an emergency recall.

Read earlier that VD's cap hit returned to normal when Jesse was traded.

 

[McAsuno]

Please please please. Ekholm AND Jensen would be AMAZING

 

[Spawn]

My question:
Why would Edmonton make Nashville retain so little it's almost immaterial, 250k, if they didn't already have a plan for it? I think another move could be coming. The Oilers need a D to play the right side (Ceci to bottom pair or trade), and they could use another impactful forward on the Top 6 RW

COOK IT UP, KENNY

Oilers needed Nashville to retain at least 50k and be able to run a 21 player roster.

With the following 21 player roster the Oilers only have $200k in cap space:
Draisaitl-McDavid-Hyman
Kane-RNH-Yamamoto
Foegele-McLeod-Kostin
Janmark-Shore-Ryan

Nurse-Ceci
Ekholm-Bouchard
Kulak-Desharnais
Broberg

Campbell
Skinner

They could bump it to around a million if they sent Shore, Broberg or Desharnais down and continued with just 20 skaters

SQUEEEEZE KENNY SQUEEEZE THOSE TITTIES
