Thread: Drai offer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>Yeah, they would want you to take Askarov out of that. Without Askarov, I don’t like it at all, even with him, I don’t know. Draisaitl is a 100 point 1C.. Evangelista, and Novak are good, but I would think they are missing a piece or two, assuming he goes with an extension in place. Throw in another decent price like a Matthew Wood, or Tanner Molendyk and it’s closer imo. Goaltenders values are also hard to gauge too.. you definitely gave me something to think about.. good job!</div></div>

Yeah I would agree, gauging the value of a young goalie like that gave me some trouble.

I will say I didn't put Wood or any of the younger prospect in as I didn't know where the line of "Find a new trade partner" is and felt that If I included Wood or Molendyk it would possibly be a non starter

Thread: Contract and Prospect overview for the offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruceBanner</b></div><div>I think they will have to go higher on Desharnais. He can get more on the market for his size age and play.

Why do you have Wanner over Akey?

Absolutely loved ve your analysis. Brilliant work. Otherwise completely agree.</div></div>

Oilers Management and coaching staff during Training camp/midseason openly discussed the idea that Wanner is maybe 1-2 years out and just has to fine tune some aspects. I really like Akey thought he was a slam dunk of a pick when they got him but with his Injury very early on in the season with the Barrie Colts which kinda f'ed his development, if he didn't get injured he would be at #2 .

The Oilers also have planned out their right side on defense to where in potentially 3 years it could be Bouchard, Wanner, Akey.

thanks man

Thread: Gent
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DQavis</b></div><div>Honestly watching gentzul this season shows he doesnt need crosby and is the best fa available with hyman turning into a beast infront of the net another star playmaker would fill out that top 6 and just get a checking grinder bottom 6.
Cousins is a nasty player but imagine him and perry same line all season just gross for the ops.
Nurse is solid top 4 dmen but at that cap id rather give that money to a better impact forward.
I also understands this kinda ****s up the d but who can u get for better contracts then a solid top 6 dmen in savard who blocks shots kills penalties a good vet cup winning leader. And zadorov i just took the big checking type of dmen maybe theres a better shutdown option.

Ifnt giby is vatrano still a good top 6 option, might me a new hyman for a playmake like rnh and dri.

Pickard also proved to be a good fringe backup this year might of over stepped.</div></div>

I do agree that Guentzel would be nasty in the the top 6, really like Motte as a signing I see him as a good shutdown 4th liner a better version of Janmark.

I have a personal vendetta against Cousins from his predatory hits on other players but that 3rd line would be crazy.
