Let’s say he would take 7x10m to come here...

Give Detroit Nurse + Neal for our 2nds back or a 2nd + Cholowski

= PROFIT

I guarantee you if Nurse was available some teams would offer much more than that and I have issues with him.

AP27 to the Oilers 9 million x 7 years.

Katz can splash some cash and make it bonus heavy if that makes it more appealing to Petro and to make him more movable if he declines in the later years.

I don’t think they’re going to spend a first round pick on a goalie considering how weak we are at forward prospect depth.

They should if he's the best prospect available.

With what this team has in the system taking a top goaltending prospect isn't a bad idea.

It's funny how we're lining up to sign a 30 year old AP over 9 million but we're outraged that Holland is trying to get a dman, not as good as AP and not as old, that makes 8.25 lol

Goalies are a crap shoot though and some teams just won’t take that risk. Ultimately they pay scouts for a reason. They’ll decide if he is the best player available at their spot.

That offer is insulting. Your captain and best player and you lowball him.
It also tells you how the market is going to be this offseason due to COVID though. If AP, captain of a team and probably best player, is only offered 7.7 million, it sets the bar doesn't it? For top Dmen in Free Agency?

Although it does seem like St. Louis seems to be playing some sort of game of chicken with him going back to the Faulk acquisition.

AP is not coming here. It's nice to dream but it's not happening. We just don't have the room unless we offload at least two contracts.

Such a silly attitude to have. It could be managed fairly easily just by moving Larsson and letting AA walk, bonus cap if you can get rid of Russell.

Saying he won't come because he just wouldn't want to sign in Edmonton is fine but it doesn't make sense to claim it's for cap reasons.

One defenceman is a top-10 defenceman in the league and a top-3 right shot d-man. The other is arguably not even a #1 defenceman and just finished 50th in scoring by defensemen.

On the worst scoring team in the league in 66 games though don't forget that lol. Obviously AP is 100x better than OEL but I just think that the outrage of fans towards OEL shouldn't be this drastic. He's also only 29 and you can't say he's not a #1 dman after playing for an awful coaching staff and system. Kessel and Hall regressed there as well

Shitty defensively and AV wasn’t a fan.


Not true. Injured and AV loves his no talent "grinder" types...hence why he used Thompson to a disturbing degree and Hagg every chance he could

Ghost isn't an elite dman, but he plays d rather fine, and 2 years ago was fantastic at it

We can't just trade Nurse or Klef for OEL. That's impossible to sell to their fans. We'd have to give them something key. You just cannot make a major trade like this just saving cash.

Or maybe Puljujarvi would be something they could sell to their fans?

Why do they need to put in the efforts to sell their 9 fans on anything . It’s not like they are going to lose their 3 season ticket holds over Nurse for OEL . It might increase their fan base if Nurse beats a few players into the ice .

What's funny?
That we are okay with paying a franchise Dman 9+ but not a lesser Dman 8.25?

AP shoots right, is better defensively, averages more TOI/g and produced a lot more.

He also would cost nothing but cap space.

PS. One is 29 and the other 30. Not a big diff in age
