![]() Yak should have been moved long ago for a defensemen. I just used Eberle as an example, but I feel my point holds. If I'm an opposing gm, I lowball the fuk outta them cause their desperate and I know it Maybe I guess, but it's certainly not as black and white as you suggestĪlso, this strange idea that oiler gm's are the only people that aren't aware of what the oilers need while everyone else is.ĭo we think chiarelli and mact don't know?Īnd we assume there's all these great deals out there that they must've turned down. Kind of robbing peter to pay Paul by doing that. But once the deadline passes, without using any critical thinking, people will most assuredly say "why didn't the oilers get a defender !!?"Īs far as trading eberle before, maybe, but we'd be completely gutting our right side with that move. And we don't know if he's actually available.Īnd the buyers are in a playoff race. The only possibility is maybe trouba and the jets. Who of those is going to trade us the top flight defender ? U willing to trade ristolainen? Cause we'll give you nuge today for him.Ĭbj gonna trade jones after trading for him? (Who by all accounts we did try to acquire as you've suggested we should do) Who are the sellers ? Buf, tor, cal, cbj, wpg ? In terms of a deal for a defender right now, let's look at what we know. If first is so important, interested in dealing us reinhart or eichel for him?) Who cares what spot he was drafted in? He's bordering on bust territory. This is guesswork.Īnd What value does yaks have? (Incidentally on a side note, yaks also is a commentary on that 'first overall" narrative. You're assuming people are banging down our doors for our players. But instead just "they should be good " or "they have first overalls" ![]() These narratives that get created don't hold much water cause they don't bother to use critical thinking. That's kind of the point of the discussion. I don't care what it looks like to the rest of the league. That is why Edmonton really looks like a tanking on purpose hockey club. It should have happened a few years ago, but hasn't. What needs to be done is the movement of some of your offense to boosted up the back end. With Mcdavid and Leon down the middle, RNH should be expendable this summer for a quality defensemen.Įdmonton has tried to sign low quality guys like you've stated in hopes that will work, it hasn't. Eberle should have probably been moved last summer for one too. Yak should have been moved by now for a defenseman. ![]() But, what you have to understand is that to the rest of the league Edmonton looks like a team that has done virtually nothing to address the defensive side of things while at the same time amassing one of the greatest offenses the league has ever seen.
