Chychrun is a good prospect but I think he's overrated. He might be, and early in his career he's had a few injuries, which might be a concern. But his skill set is just to hard to pass up if you have the opportunity to pick him. If oilers end up with a top 5 pick, they might be looking to trade it for some immediate help. The wont be able to afford all that top talent in a few years and they'd likely get a good package from a few teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 19 minutes ago, chickenman92 said: From what I saw, he's more projectable as an NHL player. He has a heavy shot, he's good along the wall and he'll hit guys. He plays a very "NHL" style of game and keeps things pretty simple. Think kind of like Backes, minus the toughness, with better goal scoring. Puljujarvi is more of a skill guy with size. He might be a better player, but he might only round into a good 2nd line guy. there's a tiny bit more risk with drafting him. I see Landeskog but bigger.

You could be right they could trade the pick but if Chychrun is available when the oilers pick I think they take him. Unless they love Juolevi like I do. The Russian is good as well but I'm a bit gun shy on ruskies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Button seems to favor Laine over Puljujarvi? Laine is THAT good? Laine is THAT good. We would be lucky to have him. Or any of the players going top 5 for that matter.

That's the move I'd make over trading another top-5 pick in this draft. I think two pieces are going to be moved and I’m leaning towards the pick and RNH. Oilers are at the point where they need to start building team needs and right now it’s a right handed D and goalies. They have enough offensive talent moving forward McDavid, Leon, Hall, Eberle, Yak, Nurse, Klefbom, and add in the returns for RNH and the pick, that’s going to be one expensive core in 3 years. Think of the return they’d be getting offered for the pick Hamonic +, Tanev +, Barrie +, Gubranson +, Ellis + +, maybe even Jones would be on the market for that pick. You would think NSH would be in on the deal looking to pick up a top end offensive threat. Also Carolina and maybe even the ducks would be involved as they both have some back end depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead we probably finish just outside the playoffs this year, draft a good prospect and then miss the playoffs again next year, and again and again and again. I completely agree. out: Vrabata for 1st Burrows for 2nd waive higgins hamhuis for 2nd = 16.5 mill in: Austin Matthews 1.25 Pedan .75 Byfuglien 7.5 Lucic 7 Sedin Sedin Hansen Lucic Matthews Sutter Baertschi Horvat Virtanen Prust Mccann Dorsette edler Tanev Hutton Byfuglien Pedan Sbisa Miller Markstrom then when miller comes off the books, a whole lot of cap opens up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumerman77 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 1 hour ago, N4ZZY said: hope benning can get at least another first round pick (mid to late) from one of our veterans. Hamhuis and Vrbata? Unfortunately, Vrbata hasn't done much this year. I bet he gets a second round pick. Hamhuis, because of his injury, probably gets a second, maybe a third. A 1st is pushing it. Unless a Cup contender wants to boost it's defense. Then they might, just might overpay I was thinking more Vrbata and Hamhuis to one team for a first round pick. Ideally a team that is just on the edge of making playoffs. Edmonton would be great, but I doubt that would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NON This is where your wrong and under estimating what a kid like matthews would do for the franchise. Look no further than Crosby in Pits, Ovi in Wsh, two teams loosing a ton of money and a single player revived the franchise. Domi isn't all the young talent the coyotes have. Look at ARZ young depth, LW - Duclair, Merkley, Perlini RW -, Merkley, Samuelsson, Bodker (25) C - Strome, Dvorak, Rieder (22) OEL was on the trade market last trade deadline so no, he's not un-tradeable. Edler is going back the other way although they would like someone younger like Hutton but Edler also helps them stay competitive, similarly to as why they say Doan is untradable.. What did the leafs offer the panthers for the 1st overall pick in 2014, Kadri (a 23 year old center coming off nearly two back to back ppg years), Gardiner (a 23 year old highly doubted D coming off a 10 goal 30 point season in his first full NHL season), 8th overall pick (William Nylander). and it still didn't get done.

Dutch_Canuck Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I would pick Laine over Puljujarvi. As mentioned before, Laine is more of a secure pick. He has the talent to be a very good 1st line winger, as does Puljujarvi. Puljujarvi has the better hands but in every other category, I think Laine matches or beats Puljujarvi. Laine is way harder to knock off the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'd take Puljujarvi 2nd after Mathews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like I thought you have no idea what your talking about Kadris last two years are 40 and 50 points NOT ANYWHERE NEAR A PPG. Gardiner is 25 and is a good 5,not anything more than that, he is also left handed. Please check your facts before trying to prove a point.

Odd. Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Laine is also 6'3 200 pounds. He's a pretty damn good goal-scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Quote Laine is a towering forward with a knack for scoring goals. A good skater, albeit not the most agile forward in traffic. Has a set of soft hands combined with good vision, but prefers to use his heavy shot. Sometimes dangles too long. Likes to play physical, but doesn't get carried away by hitting the opponents. - EP.
