If they need cap space, there are less painful ways to do so. Indeed, if they were smart they’d move RNH for a young dman with promise, maybe throw in a pick if they have to. Play Drasiatl as 2C as he should be. And try moving Sekera with retention. That would open up around 8-9 mil in cap space, solve a couple of issues for them and leave some money to sign a ufa and fill out their line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They become far too easy to shut down. Hence the one scoring line. If they lose RNH too then they will have bled off their remaining F talent other than McD and LD.

However, the Pippet/ Eriksson connection may eliminate Calgary out of that equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was....and he did. Lucic did not take into account the "Exploding Coiler" factor though. ......here you go folks......"Exploding Coiler"!!! Before the Oilers signed Lucic the whole team were all like....." ......and then suddenly the cup turned into just one more "Exploding Coiler". Curtesy of all those 'alumni' Oilers running the team for 20 years. Haha..you couldn't make this stuff up!!!

Yes giving us the 8th oa is steep, but look at it this way: they give up a player that likely doesn't make an impact on their roster for 2-3 years, shed Lucic, create cap space for renewal. Or, miss the playoffs again. They are also running with a KHL goalie as their #1. It has train wreck written all over it. If Holland stands pat and does nothing they'll be calling for him to be fired too a year from now. Jim should offer our 4th for Lucic and the 8th oa and Holland should feel lucky to have it. This simply won't happen. But keep on keepin on with that silly narrative. It is as stupid as Loui E "walking away" from 13 million haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) I wonder is EDM would consider coughing up Yamamoto for a lesser prospect to sweeten the deal? Maybe Lind or Jasek. Might look good on Horvat's wing in a year or two.

The Oilers are in a place of ZERO leverage. None. Less than none really given they can't even buy Lucic out and make it worthwhile. And Lucic has made his preferred destination public. There's no reason to take him for anything less than the 8th oa, or a prospect like Bouchard. If thats too steep then great, enjoy the next 4 years and losing a F to Seattle too. Why do you keep saying the oilers have no leverage? They simply don't have to trade Lucic. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was drafted 11 spots earlier in the 2017 draft but he hasn't really done much at the pro level. I know Kole didn't have a strong rookie campaign but the difference between him and Yamamoto isn't worth that extra year of Lucic IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious that the Oilers have been trying to throw him into the lineup to early, so I don't think it's fair to judge him solely based on how he's performed in the NHL. He put up pretty solid numbers in his first season in the AHL tho (18 points in 27 games). To me, the more significant worry is his diminutive size, but he'd still be an upgrade on someone like Lind in the pool. If Yamamoto doesn't tickle your fancy, Ethan Bear, Tyler Benson or Cooper Marody could also be potential targets.

I believe acquiring Puljujarvi makes Puljujarvi AND Juolevi better and by a far margin. As Benning knows how to draft them, Green knows how to develop them. They’re only 21 years old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More money, term, better chance of winning, getting to play with the best player in the league, having the best player in the history of the league tell you what a great place it is to play in... ... you can’t blame Lucic at all for his decision. Lol @ Edmonton being a better chance of winning. He's set foot in Edmonton before the trade and new how much of a dump that hellhole of a city is. Add in the fact that the Oilers are an AHL team with one poor generational talent stuck there until he's a UFA and can go to an actual NHL team, and it's laughable that any sane person would got to that joke of a franchise voluntarily. I'm happy Lucic is as stupid as he is classless however. He fits right in with the Oilers inbred fanbase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
