Sign Johan Larsson too and all of your Larssons are belong to us.
I haven't seen anything either, probably just the same old story of fans getting waaaaaay too excited about some tiny rumour from untrusted source.
Last week there were a couple of articles that said Edm Cal and possibly Buf were inquiring on him and that he would only waive for Edm. So it’s not that he wants to come here but if Az asked him to waive his NMC that out of those Edm would be a realistic possibility.

Lol I thought you might've seen this. Friedman and Stauffer along with Leavins. This has been ongoing for almost 3 weeks now
EDIT : nevermind I thought you meant the OEL rumour in general lol
No. Slap McDavid some more by bringing in another 4th liner he can play with? Nahh lol

Do you happen to have a link to the articles? I hadn’t seen that he wouldn’t waive for Calgary.

As others have stated, there are very concerning underlying numbers with OEL. He could look in Edmonton like Barrie looked in Toronto but locked up longer term at a big cap.
I'd rather move some dead weight out and sign Barrie on a one year until Bouch and Bro are ready.
That or go all in on AP27 lol

I was thinking about this kind of strategy but I'm not sure anymore. I mean does one year of Barrie really help us?
- We arent paying Barrie to play behind Larsson and Bear.
- If he does well we wont be able to afford to re-sign him
- If he fails we miss out on guys that have become available because of this unique situation like OEL.
Pietrangelo is a pipe dream. Doughty is making 11M. I dont see him making any less then that to play in Edmonton. Maybe he takes a hometown discount in Toronto but not here.

If OEL is willing to waive here and they primarily want the 1st round pick + cash relief ... alright, pull the trigger.
If he really wants to play for Tippett that bad and play with McDavid/Draisaitl, then ok my interest is peaked more because I think he'll come motivated.
The way I figure it in that case he should have good numbers playing on our PP for several years at least and the later years of his deal are less cash so if you want to move him 4/5 years from now that might be feasible.

How the heck is Barrie as good as OEL? Wow people are underrating OEL so badly its ridiculous
I don’t sorry. It may have been posted here already as a lot has been written and reported on for several weeks now.

All good, thanks. If it’s true that he isn’t willing to waive his NMC for some of the teams pursuing him, that could end up being huge for us. If Arizona has decided they’re moving him out this offseason for sure, and over half the league has an internal cap lower than 81.5, AND OEL isn’t willing to go to some of the teams that are pursuing him, the return will end up being lower than most think.
If it was a normal offseason and there wasn’t the flat cap issue, I’d say our offer would have to be 14 + Russell + Bouchard/Broberg to beat out other offers. But if we have very few teams that are actually in the running, I think Holland can push the pick to next years first, and downgrade the prospect significantly. Friedman always says when rival GMs see another one struggling, they throw an anchor and not a life preserver. If we have the leverage we should take full advantage of it.

It certainly does sound like Arizona is desperate to move him however OEL holds all the cards with a full NMC. He can only be traded to where he is willing to go.

Garth Snow: "Ah, finally, some rest and relaxation before the draft. Siri, cancel all my appointments and find me the closest tailor, my son is getting married and I need to get my suit measured."
Siri: "Yes Mr. Snow. You have one new voicemail message, would you like to hear it?"
Snow: "Who is it from?"
Siri: "Mr. Chiarelli from the Edmonton Oilers."
Snow: "...Siri, cancel my son's wedding and find me the closest coffee shop. I have work to do!"

He would be an upgrade in every aspect over klefbom. Klefbom has a great co tract when he is playing. He has played 1 full season prior to this one. OEL has missed less games over 10 years than Klefbom has in 1 season. So even if he does slow down or get long in the tooth, his skating is phenomenal, and he doesn't get hurt,sooooo what's the Downside? He's a number 4 instead like Jaybo? O ya and he would be able to hit McDavid in stride.
He is a legit #1 or would be for Oilers hands down over any player. Huge upgrade. Gives Broberg and other young D a legit example. He is a captain and prob new A which helps room.
He played with Larsson already ,that would put him with his international partner and his old coaching staff.
It completely changed the look of the team by adding 1 player.
I get why most are worried , but the injury thing nuked that for me especially if it's klefbom going other way.

How much top line minutes has Maroon had with Point, or Stamkos before that?
There's a reason for the answer.

So did Mike Green, until he couldn't anymore. How many of those years did Larsson's team have meaningful success when he was playing against the best players? And how many defensive defencemen are on top pairings in the NHL and don't have an elite offensive partner?

Value of: - Bye bye Darnell, Hello OEL!!
To add to it all, a poster started this a while ago in the trade rumours area and then some of this was brought into this thread as rumour.

Never said Barrie was as good as OEL.
I'm saying him on a one year deal for free is much safer for us.
