TO losing

Babcock a terrible coach now according to their fans.

Our fans would not be much kinder.

Imagine if the Oilers coach refused to play McDavid more than 20 minutes on most nights, saddled him with Zach Hyman for YEARS and then suffered this groundhogs day hell scenario of losing in 7 to the Bruins in the first round every single year.

An argument can be made the Leafs did not win to their talent level this year, either. They made the playoffs by 4 points and they were limping at the end.

Nurse + 8OA for Byram.

Oilers would never consider such a deal. Nurse is a 24 year old coming off a 41 point season where he was playing 24 minutes a night. They aren't trading him to move up 5 spots in the draft for a guy who is probably a number of years away from reaching what Nurse is now.

Nurse for 3OA.

Nurse for 3OA.

The Oilers, in a "win soon" mode are going to trade a prime age defender off two straight positive-arrow seasons for a magic bean?

They should be selling futures, not buying them.

 

[McSuper]

If Subban is for sale, even if it is cap motivated they will get a lot of interest and will get a lot of value.

It was played around a bit on the mains, but it seems at least some Preds fans are okay with it being RNH++

I have a high opinion of Subban. It could be even RNH+Larsson/Klefbom. I'd say if Karlsson couldn't get Heiskanen, we don't have to part with Bouchard. But, that was one year of Karlsson vs 3 years of Subban. But yes, pieces like these would be on the table I'd think, along with our 1st this year. I don't mean that all these pieces would be given btw!

These do not work as they make over 10 million to Subban 9 million

I'd be all over trying to buy low on Kadri right now after his second year straight of idiotic suspensions to sewer his team in the playoffs. A trade could be the wakeup call he needs to understand what side of the line he needs to tow. He'd be a perfect 3C. 3 more years at 4.5M.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

The Oilers, in a "win soon" mode...

No, we're a long ways away from cup contender status.

I like Nurse but he's a borderline 2nd pairing defenseman and will likely be expensive to re-sign next year. His trade value exceeds his actual play value by a good margin.

To Montreal for Gallagher . I he would be a good fit with RNH

.

Nobody is.

To the point where I would argue the phrase "cup contender" is now entirely meaningless and that there are 16 cup contenders every year.

Would love Gally, but habs probably wouldn't do it straight up for Nurse.

Yep, nows a good time to take the scraps while everyone is looking to throw anyone under the bus.

 

[780il]

Nurse for Nylander, who says no?

f*** that

 

[Wewillrise]

No to trading Nurse, unless it’s an upgrade on D.

 

[780il]

No to trading Nurse, unless it’s an upgrade on D.

Agreed

 

[BigTime99]

Anyone checking out what bouchard is doing tonight? 3 pts so far tonight? Do the oilers need to spend $9mil on subban?

 

[Proko88]

Larsson for Kapanen
Russel/ prospect for Brown
RNH for Subban
Jones gets full time job

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Anyone for a flyer on Wayne Simmonds? How much/how long?

 

[yegoldboysclub]

Larsson for Kapanen
Benning for Brown
RNH for Subban
Jones gets full time job

Kapanen had one goal in last 22 games, not sure if I move our number 1 right shot guy for him.

 

[Proko88]

If your replacement is Subban it’s ok. Also, I think Kapanen would be the perfect right hand man for mcD or Drai

 

[bobbythebrain]

Kapanen is overrated. He be a uselful player like Hagelin in his prime, which is fine

Honestly if there's cap shifting deals to make, now is the time. Buy low on Kadri, haggle on Subban. They both have 3 years. 13.5 m for both is likely impossible without moving Russell AND Lucic somehow. So perhaps I stop thinking about this timeline.

Would you rather Nurse at 4.5m or Subban at 9?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Nurse for Nylander, who says no?

I had to double check if you were a Calgary fan. No x1000.

Ideally they would be on the same pairing.

 

[alphahelix]

I’d go for Andreas Johnsonn way before I’d bite on Kapanen or Nylander. We should do better.

 

[Pointteen]

Ideally they would be on the same pairing.

That would be exciting to watch. The skating the two provide. Plus it would be cool to have the first black top pairing
