I don't understand how relying on Nuge and Gagner was the worst thing in the universe but relying on McDavid and Draisaitl is a sound idea. Because Nuge is a bust at 22 apparently and our young (and improving) Dmen are all garbage like Garglecock. No one likes the saying "get good players, keep good players" and 99% of the people online have no patience to let the Oilers get off the IR. Time for Chiarelli to make a trade. I think this deadline will be very interesting for the Oilers.  |

I'm really hoping to see some good moves for the Oilers and Wings this trade deadline. Time for the wings to maximize their return on Captain Z and Dats. Trade em' both and land Chychrun and Matthews at the draft.  |

Trade em' both and land Chychrun and Matthews at the draft. I'd do it. Then pray that Stamkos signs with Detroit in the off season. I think Feds would have an aneurysm from conflicting loyalties. |

I should've stopped reading after I saw that. Yeah. This is a quote from a guy who let a picture be taken of him with a giant rolled condom on his head. Would've been better had he actually rolled it over his head and blown it up with his nose |

Otherwise, it'll be depth moves. Believe me, I am hoping Chiarelli trades your guys' first rounder this year. Think of what return that will land. That pick and a prospect or a B rated roster player can land the Oilers almost anyone in the league. |

Think of what return that will land. That pick and a prospect or a B rated roster player can land the Oilers almost anyone in the league. I can see Fayne, a 2nd and a prospect going over to NYI for Hamonic in the summer. Nobody over at OilersNation liked my suggestion of trading our first to a team that needs offense that has OEL D depth. I don't understand why no one likes that trade. Oh, I bet it was because I wasn't trading Nuge or Eberle.  I personally see the roster as: Hall-Nuge-Draisaitl Pouliot-McDavid-Eberle Kassian-Letestu-Yakupov  -Hendricks-Pakarinen Sekera- Klefbom-Davidson Nurse-Reinhart Gryba Talbot Brossoit I believe the "third" line is expendable. The fourth line can probably have someone line Slepyshev or Khaira fill in. The D pairings are free to change as needed. One of the things I'mn very confused on is why everyone seems to think Purcell is more valuable to the team than Eberle. It makes no fucking sense! Trade Teddy, get a pick or two or a solid prospect, and then try to resign him in the summer at a reduced cost. This means you keep the silky sexiness of Eberle, helps build the prospect cupboard again, and our young D core will be improved come next season. Yakupov can't do what Eberle does, so there's not problem in having him as a high impact 3rd line player. Trading and creating a hole on offense to fill a hole on defense is not going to improve the club*. *This item is debatable. Use the power of our UFA's for that D trade, keep our good players under contract. And don't bring up the Jones/RJo trade as a discussion point because CBJ and Oilers are at two different positions. Oilers have suffered due to injuries and CBJ just sucks this year. Patience is a virtue and it's something that apparently 90% of the Oilers fan base doesn't have. |

Interesting makeup of your team there. Does hamonic "complete that D core though? Never thought that guy was a top pairing D man. Good second/third line guy though. I agree your third line is expendable and could use someone better than Letestu/Kassian to compliment yakupov's skills. A third line playmaking center would go a long ways in creating some dangerous scoring depth (not like you wont have it already). I heard a trade a while back that seemed interesting. Oilers trading their first and Yak to Phoenix for OEL and Hanzal. I cant remember if there was more to that trade but it would be interesting nonetheless. But dont worry, if that third line fails you, just remember Pastrnak comes off his ELC after next year, and will be available for pennies on the dollar. |

I like the trade with Arizona, however, they would have to be complete retanners to accept that trade in giving up a young OEL Dman and their veteran C. Well, not yet on Hanzal, maybe after next season. I don't know if Hamonic completes the D core, but he would help solidify it. We could roll Klefbom-Sekera, Nurse-Hamonic and Davidson-Reinhart as the pairings. Sekera, Davidson and Reinhart can all play the right side. Perhaps Clendening makes a solid contribution and the Oilers retain him. |

Perhaps Clendening makes a solid contribution and the Oilers retain him. Just my opinion, but I think the Oilers would be better suited going after a true #1 or someone who can step into that role that currently isnt getting that chance. In all due respect to nurse, I dont think he will be one. Perhaps a OEL #2 or a phenomenal second pairing guy. I just dont see the Hamonic trade really making enough of a difference to put the Oilers into the post season. You were right about the teams health. I think if they are healthy they may be in the hunt. I think this is a cup worthy roster if you trade for a #1 D man, and get yourself a 3rd line center along with some key role players. Perhaps the oilers have the necessary role players in their locker room, I have no idea. Imagine this scenario though. They land Alex Pietrangelo with their first rounder in this coming draft plus Jultz and a prospect (details could be discussed but getting rid of Pietrangelo will certainly require a D man going the other way). Then in a separate trade the oilers send a package of B rated players and/or prospects plus a mid round pick to the Isles for Frans Nielson (a playmaker for Yak). Move Letestu down to the fourth line and juggle your lines accordingly. I think the goaltending is good. Talbot seems like he can handle the work load, but he needs help in front of him. |

I really like both of your trade proposals. Maybe they go for both AP and Hamonic and forego the 3C. I think the season after next is when Nurse will be our 1D. Klefbom and Sekera will hold down that spot until the time is right. I hope we hold onto Davidson. |
