Kassian for Milano?I can't even drop hints at what it would take for me to be content with the Jackets taking on Lucic because it would start an instant, unstoppable, overwhelming flamewar.
Kassian has 11 points in his last 18 games. He is also on the PK and can hitQuit while you're ahead.
We're never ahead.Quit while you're ahead.
We're never ahead.
Hon? When someone tells you "absolutely not" in reply to an offer, that doesn't mean "push back with more info as though they don't know who you're talking about". The answer will not only remain "no", it'll get even more vehement.Kassian has 11 points in his last 18 games. He is also on the PK and can hit
Doesn't help us either; Kassian doesn't provide anything we don't already have six or seven of. It's kind of a "futures or bust" situation, as indicated by the tweet in the OP.Plus, I don't think that's necessarily that great of a deal for the Oilers.
I guess we could bring him home to LI, even though I seem to remember him being a Rangers fan.
I saw a possible deal since Columbus is going all in this season. Kassian was good during the Oilers run and has been good this seasonHon?

Read the OP. If you look carefully, you'll notice that tweet says he's available for "a respectable draft pick". Kassian is not a draft pick; he is a player with a cap hit and a skillset we're already overrepresented in. Lucic is not a draft pick; he is a supermassive black hole of anti-value. You are offering the wrong things, and getting pushy when you are told they are the wrong things.I saw a possible deal since Columbus is going all in this season.

I'm not getting pushy. I was just giving an explanation.Read the OP. If you look carefully, you'll notice that tweet says he's available for "a respectable draft pick".

"Flip him for what you really want" is how you get ripped off, not how you get valuable assets. Because every GM will recognize you've taken on someone you don't need and/or can't use, and they'll throw you garbage rather than that which you need.I'm not getting pushy.

To add on, the Oilers traded Letestu to Nashville last season, who flipped him for a pick from Columbus.
Columbus could acquire a player than flip him
The point of an individual being a GM is their ability to adjust in certain situation to get a good result for their team."Flip him for what you really want" is how you get ripped off, not how you get valuable assets. Because every GM will recognize you've taken on someone you don't need and/or can't use, and they'll throw you garbage rather than that which you need.
