I really like Parekh, but if we have Whitecloud, Chatfield and Zub locked up our RD is solid for the next 5 years. Iginla would be Giroux eventual replacement in the top 6, and I still have us taking EJ Emery later in the 1st who's another very solid RD prospect.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I’m good with either whichever one falls to 7 and yes they’re both high up</div></div>

My apologies! I didn’t see how many years you gave Chatfield.. although it wouldn’t hurt to have a very good defence man prospect in Parekh, Iginla, and Emery are two very good prospects too! If they go with Parekh, who would you want with the Boston pick? I’m personally thinking a Michael Hage, or Ryder Ritchie type player (if Hage will be there), but I’m interested in hearing your guys’ opinions!

I don’t care what anyone says, I’m still having you guys picking Parekh though haha. He’s just too good to pass up imo.. and Sanderson-Parekh! Man oh man! Have a great one guys!

Thread: Vegas has Limited Options
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sprak</b></div><div>Adin Hill is likely staying because of how weak the UFA goalie market is, and the fact that his cap hit is smaller than a guy that could replace him. Shea Theodore is the same thing. His low cap hit is irreplaceable for a ppg defenceman on a cap-strapped team. Also the same story with McNabb. Whitecloud and Hague are likely the only expendable guys and that would only open up about 5 million in space (if they choose to trade both, which is unlikely)</div></div>

“The fact that his cap hit is smaller than the guy who could replace him”. That’s not true. This goaltending market is trash for starting goalies, I can admit that, but if Logan Thompson is going to be the starter, you can get a reliable backup for him. Some good backup goalies you could grab are Kaapo Kahkonen, Cam Talbot, Kevin Lankinen, Casey DeSmith, Laurent Brossoit, Alex Nedeljkovic, Anthony Stolarz, Alex Wedgewood, and David Rittich.

Theodore, and McNabb are two very good defence men that you would rather not trade, however, you could get a good bottom pair defence man to cover for McNabb. For Theodore, you could get some good pieces, and who knows if they will have the cap to resign him with Hertl making 6.75M, Eichel making 10M, Stone making 9.5M, Hanifin making 7.35M, and Pietrangelo making 8.8M. I could be wrong, but I doubt they would have the amount of cap space it would take to get Theodore back. It’s about cutting your losses, while also getting assets back in a trade, instead of losing him for free, that’s if you want the cap to sign other guys too.

Thread: Drai offer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeBone</b></div><div>The only offers that I've seen that even remotely compel me to trade Drai are the ones from BUF involving Cozens, Savoie, and picks. This one doesn't really even come close for me.</div></div>

Personally, I don’t mind your offer SupremeBone, but also something like Swayman, Carlo, Frederic, and picks for Draisaitl, Ceci, Skinner catches my eye too! It all depends on how you value guys.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Droakner</b></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</div></div>

Yeah, it’s super hard.. but I guess it is how much people value Askarov. I believe that one of Wood, or Molendyk would be wanted by Edmonton to compensate for the uncertainty of Askarov, but hard to say. A good proposal nonetheless!

Thread: What needs to happen regardless
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksnOilers</b></div><div>Yeah I think its just preference between Kulak or Desharnais, I prefer Kulak over him so I'd rather us keep him but it can go either way. I just feel as if Kulak is better for Broberg over Desharnais in his development</div></div>

Fair. I like Desharnais' defensive game more than Kulak's, and that would also give us roughly about 1M in cap to either match some offers on the UFA's, or run a 23 man roster. I have a question for you.. from oilers fan to oilers fan, would you trade Skinner, to get an actual reliable starter? I'm curious, because a lot of people say no, because they like Skinner too much, which I do too, but I see it as you have to do whatever you can to get a cup, instead of playing favorites.
