alfstonker Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Great we trade away our 6 and Shink for 3rd and then Ekblad and Reinhart go 1 and 2 and we are screwed. Let's keep our 6 AND Shink. I would be much happier. I think Shinkaruk will be huge in the NHL and we are pawning him for what? A roll of the dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Not liking the prospect of Nick Ritchie bullying Van for a decade. We have Kass to match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure to Mogilny Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 did you just compare Shinkaruk to Forsberg? Booze for breakfast is not a solution to your problems Was not what i meant to do. Im saying we should not give up are prospect pool and future for reinhart. Im just making a comparison. In no way is reinhart = lindros nor shincky to forsberg. Why must some people make an effort to misinterpet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweathog Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Does thinking cause u pain? Cause u must be pain free I disagree with your point, but that's the best comeback I've seen in a while! Good for you lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Not a fan of this. Shink is gonna be a star. Zach Parise 2.0 I think more Patrick Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draisaitl........maybe the most NHL ready prospect outside of Ekblad in the draft. I wouldn't complain having him down the middle for the forseeable future.

WeddingCrashers Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Edmonton needs a player like Ritchie in their lineup. You know we've thought about trading for first to get Reinhart or Ekblad. I think this is a trade that if it was going to happen should only happen just before the pick to ensure one of the two are there. Also I'm curious why shinkaruk is added in the trade and not tanev. Tanev makes more sense than shink for the oilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So waiting for Shinkaruk isn't a roll of the dice especially the fact he missed an entire year due to injury? That's a gamble within itself.......

Gaudette Celly Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm not sure I believe any of the rumours. TSN seems more about creating drama over actual news. Maybe they hear Shink might be part of an FLA deal and assume that's transferable to an Edmonton deal. Maybe they're coming out of Calgary and their sober second thoughts over last year's draft...

aGENT Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 did you just compare Shinkaruk to Forsberg? Booze for breakfast is not a solution to your problems Pretty sure he's comparing the situation, not the players. Either way, I'm not sure why Edmonton would do this. Two more small forwards (albeit and Ritchie apparently) is not really what they need. Garrison or Tanev? Sure. Maybe Jensen or Gaunce...but Shinkaruk and Schroeder....I don't buy it. I'm not buying what TSN is selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, Lindros was a dominant C until he had concussion issues...you make it sound like Forsberg was miles ahead better than Lindros. When he was a Flyer, he centered the most feared lines for a few years in the LOD which made me a Flyers fan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I don't buy it, Oilers would be asking for Horvat. The last thing they need is undersized players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 three first rounders for 1 doesn't sound so good to me. hard to build depth when you get rid of that many pieces for one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeddingCrashers Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Reinhart I'm not sure if he falls to #3 but I feel Ekblad has a small chance to fall to #3! If Florida goes forward which isn't a stretch Buffalo is loaded with d prospects. I feel like they might be looking forward at this spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It's so stupid to trade 2 prospects for 1 in our teams position. EXACTLY! It's farcical and we would be known as the biggest mugs in the league. I am just hoping Benning is not finding the strain of making the final decision too much for him.

Me_ Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 If it was Tanev and the #6 or Shinkaruk and the #6 maybe but not both just to move up 3 spots. Horrible trade. Never mind, I've seen Tanev's name in this kind of proposal I'm almost unable to read Schroeder. JS and a Shinkaruk plus a 6'th pick for #3 is almost do-able, but I'd like a little more back from Edmonton, maybe a 6-7 round pick? In this case, moving up three spots means picking up a player that will play in the NHL very soon. Cannot guarantee that with the 6th. The Canucks are lucky if both Ekblad and Bennet are picked before Reinhart. The 2014 draft is very weak. After the top two of Ekblad and Reinhart, there's a huge drop in talent.

Odjickwillkillyou Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Nothing against Hunter, but he does not meet the specs of the type of team we are looking to build (Bigger, stronger, meaner). He looks like he has great potential, but if we can get a bonafide 1C for years to come we pull the trigger. Especially if we move Kes. Having Reinhart, Horvat & Gaunce down the middle in 3 years does not sound too bad to me. He was a late 1st rounder for a reason. He seems like a great kid, but I am sure he would not complain about playing on the Oilers and being closer to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
