Phil Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 "2. Here?s my read on Edmonton: With their horse, Oscar Klefbom, getting closer to a return, the Oilers are looking everywhere for forward help. They would prefer to avoid giving up a major young piece for a rental. Sounds like they?ve checked into the recently resurgent Mats Zuccarello, who had three assists in the Rangers? 6-2 win over Carolina on Tuesday. Last season, the Rangers dealt Michael Grabner for a prospect and a second-rounder; that?s probably where they?d like to go with Norway?s Finest." https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/31-thoughts-buyers-sellers-emerging-ahead-nhl-trade-deadline/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Besides Puljujarvi and Yamamoto, who else is a above average prospect in their system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I’d rather have their 1st straight up than their 2nd + a middling prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I’d rather have their 1st straight up than their 2nd + a middling prospect. Agreed. I also think Edmonton is far more likely to consider trading their current first or next year's based on what has been reported. I'd like a guy like Safin, but not headlining a deal. I'd much rather have a pick in the 10-25 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Besides Puljujarvi and Yamamoto, who else is a above average prospect in their system? Button lists his top 5 prospects for the Oilers towards the bottom. https://www.tsn.ca/russian-wingers-top-tsn-s-ranking-of-nhl-affiliated-prospects-1.1241872 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 A 2nd and a mid level prospect for Zucc would be so disappointing. He’s had a bad season but he’s certianly not bad. Hopefully his quote about being effected by trade rumors all year helps his value knowing that once he settles he’ll probably go right back to the 60pt Zucc.

Phil Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Their first-round pick is far and away the most valuable chip they have here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfrancesa Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Edmonton’s first for zucc would be a massive overpayment on their part. There is better rentals than zucc for a pick like that. Their first is not a late round selection. It could even be a lottery pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their first is not a late round selection. It could even be a lottery pick I would LOVE to get Edmonton's 1st! I don't think we have enough to couple with Zucc to pull it back though, Franny!

Their first is not a late round selection. It could even be a lottery pick I agree. But whilst a 2nd and midlevel prospect is probably the going rate for Zuc, I’d rather do that deal with someone else. The Oilers farm system is a heap of shit.

phillyb Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Zuc + McQuaid, both retained for EDM 1st + prospect and if they need to offload a cap hit (not Lucic), fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If Edmonton believes that then they wouldn't be buying. The wild card here is that Chiarelli knows he’s done unless they make the playoffs. It won’t be a surprise if they make moves that are less than ideal from a roster building perspective.

Guest Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If Edmonton believes that then they wouldn't be buying. I doubt Edmonton is thinking in absolutes. They're fully aware that they could go all in for a playoff birth and still not make it. If they deal their first, it will likely be lottery or top-10 protected.

Their first is not a late round selection. It could even be a lottery pick Perfect opportunity for them to move up in the draft. Zucc + pick or prospect to get a better 1st. EDIT: Never mind for some reason I thought Edmonton was lower in the standings... I would still do Zucc + another roster player maybe or a lower pick to get their first.

That's how Colorado ended up with Ottawa's first. Edmonton has only drafted outside of the top 10 once since 2009, so weather its this year's 1st or next year's, it'll most likely be a high pick.

If they deal their first, it will likely be lottery or top-10 protected. Lottery, for sure. Still, would be kind of great to kick them a player like Zucc in a deal that includes that pick, because if they do miss, it's still really valuable at the middle of the draft.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Zuc is back, keep him till the deadline and let him play up his value. Play him with zib and he will put up nice numbers. Should be able to get a 1st for him Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.wiskers Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Edmonton is 2 mil. under the cap but once Klefbom comes off the IR they will be over the cap. So they are gonna have to get creative. Either we take a bad contract or we retain player salary. So that is gonna be an added consideration to any deal we do.
