Probably still hoping they can drop Eriksson.

They probably should dump him before signing Ferland.

Once they need that cap space, teams will really be looking for a sweetner.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Vancouver is ****ed. This is a man trying to save his own ass. As the JT Miller trade clearly showed.

while true, they're a much improved team with Myers, Ferland and Miller

the Oilers added old-man Smith and Granlund...and some unknown Euro guys (thus far)lol​

 

[The Nuge]

Goldobin might make a good pickup. If they sign Ferland, they’re going to have no capspace (8.5 for Ferland and Boeser) or roster spots (15 forwards without Goldobin). He has 41 points in 101 games over the last 2 years. Offer a mid-late pick, a prospect like Safin, or even just offer sheet him for 1.3, and not give them anything

Myers is not that good. They are going to be begging to unload contract.

Ferland , meh he slowed down substantially last half of the season.

Miller is okay but they paid a heavy price for him.

Would it be smart to offer sheet the one team that it seems Lucic would go play for?

All 3 of those guys make them better and improve depth. They are likely to be playing playoff hockey before the Oilers do again.

Remember the reason for Vancouver’s supposed interest in Lucic? They wanted someone to protect their skilled guys. Bet they think Ferland is that guy so any interest they had in Lucic May now be a distant memory.

 

[780il]

If this is true I will bitch

I agree. They are better today regardless if they are bad contracts or not.

the point is, they've improved their depth

yes, it might cost them soon in term of capspace and bad contracts but they are better today than on April 10th

the Canucks were already a better team than us last year and they've added pieces...that's concerning

Until Lucic knocks him out and his concussions come back

 

[Oilhawks]

If this is true I will *****

Even if it is, there’s no way Holland was signing anyone outside of Nyquist to a multi year deal this offseason (2 years for Chiasson notwithstanding, you had to give him another year or he would have gone elsewhere for term).

 

[The Nuge]

Would it be smart to offer sheet the one team that it seems Lucic would go play for?

It’s definitely not the first choice I’d go for. But if you offer them a 5th, and they want a second, you can always look at it

 

[joestevens29]

Sounds like 4 x3.5mil. Good deal for the Nucks

 

[North]

Until Lucic knocks him out and his concussions come back

Hah. When’s the last time Lucic knocked someone out?

 

[North]

That’s actually not terrible.

I'll take the one year deals over term on depth players any day at this stage. Next season the cap opens up and we have the opportunity to add one or two pieces on July 1st. I'd rather not have $4m tied up in a third liner for the next four years.

Vancouver is still a stretch to finish in the Wildcard. This 'improvement' will be very short lived. The cap impact? Not so much.

Maybe not knock out, but he did a lot of damage to Glass

This. I really don’t give a shit if Vancouver is better than us next year. They’re burning their cap space on guys that aren’t difference makers.

I’d much rather have cap next season to add something significant.

 

[Da McBomb]

Great deal for Canucks... IF he can stay healthy

Pretty good forward depth in Van

 

[Heavy Dee]

Meanwhile Ken Tambellini is enjoying his summer.

I'm not advocating signing Ferland to a 4-year deal but I am concerned that every team in our division is improving while the Oilers get marginally better...and I'm well aware how hamstrung the Oilers are due to being in cap hell

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

If it's 4yrs @ $3.5M per, full marks solid contract. I would expect Boeser to sign 1 yr $4.5-5M shortly.
