[Tad Mikowsky]

Nooooooooooooooooo from the Oilers

 

[The Abusement Park]

That is not good.

 

[TS Quint]

This is going to go well.

Oiler fans see Drai as just below god, who is below McDavid.

 

[BleedBlue14]

Seems like the Oilers overpay. Could probably take out the 10 OA although I'm not sure why EDM would want to move on from Draisaitl and add salary although it does allow Nuge to 2C and gives them a right shot offensive producer on d

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

As a canes fan I'd take this all day. No way the Oilers would consider it

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Oh Boy. Glad it wasn't a Canes fan that proposed this. This should be treated like a lopsided poll thread.

 

[TheNumber4]

Lol. Faulk is a shell of his former self, is a liability on defence, and his offence seems to be drying up. Skinner had a bad year and has many questions regarding his health. That offer is not even in the ballpark of Draisaitl let alone add the 10th.

 

[rent free]

oilers say no

with chiarelli there's a chance

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

You could take out #10 and add #2 from Carolina and Edmonton still probably doesn’t make the trade.

Absolute terrible.

Not disagreeing with the proposal being bad, but what questions are those?

[Ragdoll]

Oh god, f*** me... my eyes. They burn!

Also... NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Booooooo!!!! Get off the stage!!

 

[GoldiFox]

OP looks like a Montreal fan for all the future "I can't believe a Canes fan hurr durred the durr hurr".

Would be easiest just to lock right now.

 

[hockeyguy1967]

Oilers: Skinner + Faulk

Hurricanes: Draisaitl + 10 OA

Might do it with Drai removed, otherwise hellllll no. Faulk is not the kind of dman we need.

Im sure he means his concussion history which changed how he plays.

The only way Skinner's concussion history has "changed how he plays" is that he is probably LESS likely to get a concussion now than other players because he has changed his game to better avoid dangerous situations.

Skinner scored 37 goals in 2016-17, good for #6 in the entire league. His 5v5 goals (28) were 2nd in the league behind Matthews (29) and ahead of #3 Crosby (26). This is years after his most recent concussion.

HF posters are more ignorant about Skinner's history than perhaps any player in the NHL. The confidence in their bad opinions is really fascinating.

Cool, keep him then. He was not worth his contract this past year. No one is going to overpay for Skinner. I would say his value is around a mid 1st right now.

Oilers: Skinner + Faulk

Hurricanes: Draisaitl + 10 OA

This seems really bad for the Oilers.

...
If Brind'Amour doesn't think much of Skinner then he will be dealt soon and the return will probably be middling. Maybe a #10-20 Overall pick (or comparable prospect/player) + a sweetener. - From Skinner Thread

You and I sir are just going to have to agree to agree. If Skinner is dealt this offseason then I think that is about what he will get.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Even if the Canes add Sebastian Aho I still wouldn't do it.

Utterly atrocious.

 

[THall4]

This is going to go well.

No, we see him as a 22 yr old 6'2 215lbs 1C (on most teams today) with load of potential.

Excuse us for not wanting to give that away for 2 soon to be UFA's

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

What are with all these terrible trades for the Oilers today?
