  1. I hope Baer can overcome the concussion issues. The guy has top six talent when healthy.
  2. Good point on the contacts. If contacts were equal between Lucic and Perry would still rather have Lucic though. If not Lucic, in some way we need to get some more toughness and size on this team.
  3. Lol. Your distaste for Lucic is epic. I get it though. He is easy to dislike.
  4. Guess I'm old fashioned. To be amongst the top two or three paid players on your team I think you should drive the play and be able to play both ends of the rink, win a puck battle or two, have played a playoff game? Carolina had been rumored to be shopping this guy for two years. I see a one dimensional player that careered it in a contract year. This contract will look come back to haunt Buffalo imho.
  5. Dreger.....guys a tool. Way to go out on a limb with your reporting there. Cant stand him.
  6. If that is what JB is thinking I got to think it happens before LE's bonus gets paid July 1st. That's one expensive second rounder.
  7. Plus, Blues have a great record away from home and have already won twice in Boston. I'm betting on the Blues.
  8. Lol. An extra large Coke slurpee with chocolate ice cream and fudge on top kind of sweetener.
  9. Well.... that's the basis of a trade like this. Both teams hoping their new players rebound under new circumstances.
  10. Fair enough if that's the way they see it. Good luck to them. Take it or leave it is all Holland is gonna see. We aren't the desperate team, they are. They are one, maybe two years from McDavid saying get me out of here.
  11. Contract to contract ya Perry is more attractive for sure. However, watching Perry last year I see him as utterly useless now. Lucic can at least pound guys.
  12. Loyal to that crap show in Edmonton? To sign and live another seven years in Edmonton? My guess is he wants out. Obviously a guess on my part though.
  13. My guess. Those talks have already started. My other guess is Larsson has shown no interest in re-signing with that crap show team. It may be in their best interests to move him now.
  14. Heck. I mentioned earlier in the thread I would take this a different angle. Larsson is UFA after this year. He would fit in well here and if he came with an extension I'd sooner take him over PP. Say LE and Sutter for Lucic and Larsson. We retain some on Sutter if needed. Sutter and LE would be players the Oilers would actually need. Larsson, a righty top four swedish dman would look great here.
  15. I agree that Edmonton may well laugh at what teams offer up for Lucic. But I also dont think no team takes him on without a major reward. Heck, there are very few teams that can even fit him in, let alone he would waive to. I think you play hardball with the Oilers. Take it or leave it and if they leave it so be it. LE is a bad contract but liveable and expansion draft exempt. I'd sooner keep him and ride it out unless the return makes sense.
  16. I agree. Or, if a player JB is absolutely sold on is at 8 then we swap picks this year? Even with that added it's a tough call.
  17. I'd agree but watching PP play the percentage chance of him reaching his potential has drastically dropped. He really looks lost out there. Big body but makes Taylor Pyatt look tough to play against.
  18. For sure. Not sure the Oilers do it. But I would be shocked of they get better offers. Goldys, HoSangs, Dal Colles of the NHL will be all that is offered for PP. Maybe a second round pick similar to the Sven B trade.
  19. Would you consider Goldy as fair value for PP? Goldy has put up even better numbers than PP in the AHL.
  20. This. Watching PoolParty over the years I'm just not impressed. Mishandled by Oilers development? Yes. A bust? To early to tell. Goldy a bust? To early to tell. Both have potential but both have their struggles. Both players would benefit from a change and would fit their new teams well if it were a Vancouver Edmonton trade. For this reason I just dont see enough value if PP is the addon sweetener to take on Lucic. Goldy is fair value as PP simply hasn't really shown me anything more at the NHL level than Goldy.
  21. Lucic comes with no need to protect him in the expansion draft or no deal. Period. You simply cannot waste a spot on an old, diminishing player if avoidable. And sorry, love you Eddy, same with you.
