But he sucks, right?

He's essentially Klefbom.

 

[joestevens29]

So they can probably add cap the summer after this one. Doesn't help us this year though.

They still have room this year. Cap is going up and they do have Kronwall and Vanek as UFA's, that's 7.75mil.

Like a fatter version?

LA people are generally thinner.

Rather sign some guy out of Europe that has upside at this point. Not like we have a lot of room in Bakersfield.

It's not something that matters a whole lot, but Bakersfield needs guys who are Condors, which is what Stanton and Lowe essentially are.

I don't think the Oilers are really in the market for more immediate prospects. There is going to be a huge influx this summer with Persson and Berglund potentially coming over and Bouchard and Samorukov turning pro.

Reinhart might be of interest just due to familiarity, but more than likely both parties would probably want to distance themselves from each other. Not a whole lot of positivity there.

I think they will re-sign Kronwall (not to the same cap hit, but still 2M+).

They can't really take on significant cap in a "prospects + cap dump" trade this summer.

The question, do you go ham at Nashville, seeing the major disappointment of this season

To NSH: Lucic, Klefbom, Puljujarvi, Bear, 8th overall and 2019 2nd round pick

To EDM: Josi (with no extension), Turris, and Weber

Preds aren't moving Josi for anything less than Drai

Nashville downgrades at every position and takes on a cap-killer contract?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Ok, they're going to pay him $10M, makes sense.

Well, something like Bouchard/Samorukov + 8th + Larsson would be pretty tempting.

Turris doesn't really have a future there, they down grade in a position of strength as well as top-10 pick. Killer contract, I guess, but can be sent away from Nashville without much concern for them.

How?

That's really the trade killer right there. Lucic is a no-go.

They give up their #1 dman and their 2 C and don’t actually save any cap space.

I don’t think they’ll hesitate to give Josi $10m. They’ll move out subban this summer before they entertain this kind of a deal.

 

[MinimaMoralia]

Yeah, I can’t see Nash moving Josi just yet.
PK is their retooling card for the off-season.

 

[syz]

Could also see Nashville moving on from Rinne. He's had his chances and Saros is probably a starter at this point.

Nurse + 8OA for Byram.

Nurse + 8OA for Byram.

Really depends on who drafts Byram. No way Buffalo, Detroit, or Colorado give up on Byram if he falls.

For Nurse? I have a very hard time believing anyone outside the top 2 passes on that deal.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

For Nurse? I have a very hard time believing anyone outside the top 2 passes on that deal.

That may be true, but Byram does have a pretty good skillset that a lot of those teams are looking for. Someone looking to get back with a quick retool, like L.A for example, would be more keen on that deal, assuming Byram wasn't taken at that point.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

That is a horrible deal for the Oilers, though.

It is, no doubt. Just a what if.

Babcock a terrible coach now according to their fans.

To be fair, he was kind of overrated anyway. Still a really good coach though.

That can't be. I thought he was an 'elite' coach.
