EagleShield Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I have a feeling that RNH, who hasn't excelled at Edmonton (<1 PPG when Hall and Eberle are there or almost) despite his talents, may be deemed surplus to requirements in the next couple of years with the arrival of McJesus and Draisaitl. So, what would it take to get him? Not going to be cheap, but we need our future 1C and I like the looks of the following as our <25s: Shinkaruk - RNH - Virtanen Baertschi - Horvat - Kassian AN Other - Gaunce - Jensen Kenins - Cassels - AN Other AN Other - Tanev Subban - Corrado Hutton - Clendenning Demko I'll start the bidding at Lack, 2015 1st, 2016 2nd, 2017 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Grimes Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It would take sincere overpayment. Nobody in the league likes to make big trades within their own division if they can help it, would YOU want to help the teams you see most during the year? .... I sure as hell wouldn't. lol There are ALOT of other teams that could make a better offer for RNH without doing as much damage to their prospect pool as it would for Vancouver, Nashville being the first one that jumps to my mind, Vancouver simply does not have the assets to make that sort of move and keep anything resembling a "Solid" prospect pool together, we have to keep what we have and wait to see what we've drafted over the last couple of years before we can make any sure moves - not to mention we need a couple of these NTC Contracts to end so we have a little more capspace to play with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Jensen, Sbisa, 1st 2015, Sautner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Tanev and a 2nd probably would do it. Considering we aren't going to move Tanev and we don't have a second then my package would look a little more like this: To Edm: Sbisa Corrado Bonino Jensen To Van: Nuge Canucks get elite offensive Center. Oilers get two young d to fill voids in their lineup, Bonino who plays a good depth role and also would be a key penalty killer, and Jensen to sweeten the pot a tad. We might also need to add a draft pick of some sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Grimes Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Jensen, Sbisa, 1st 2015, Sautner? even the most oblivious and ignorant of canucks fans know that Sbisa has played like crap this year, why the hell would anybody else want to pay more than a fart in the wind for him? Even Edmonton. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Well..it depends...he's making $6 million US, the Oilers can't afford to keep all those number 1's and pay them that kind of dough....so I can see them letting one of them go for say a young goalie so they can free up cap space...

Chalky Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 If there is a trade for RNH to Vancouver it will take a blockbuster deal. If Benning could do it without giving up Bo, I'd be satisfied with what would be deemed an overpayment by the majority on CDC. He should be a Canuck...perhaps I'm clouded by nostalgia.

Heretic Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 3 years from now, McDavid will be getting a huge raise: Time To Experiment With Bad Contracts Is Over, This Team Will Demand $$$ Already going into the 2015-16 season $36.3M committed to eleven forwards, $12.6M committed to four defenseman and $2.3M to Ben Scrivens in goal for a total of $51.2M. Now factor in the fact the team still has to re-sign key RFAs this summer in Justin Schultz, Martin Marincin, work on an extension for Oscar Klefbom, add Connor McDavid’s three-year ELC and bring in a goaltender and suddenly things are getting fairly tight for the Oilers. Best case scenario that brings the Oilers to around $68M to get all those contracts done and bring in a goaltender. The team will be just a few million under the new proposed cap http://thehockeywriters.com/with-mcdavid-coming-its-time-for-oilers-to-put-their-money-where-their-mouth-is/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 EDM: J. Schultz R. Nugent-Hopkins VAN: J. Markstrom L. Sbisa L. Vey S. Matthias N. Jensen 1st Rd. Pick, 2015 Vey is worth a 2nd. Sbisa, even though he's not the best, is worth a late 2nd (at most). Jensen's worth a 4th or maybe a late 3rd rn. Markstrom's worth a late 2nd to Edmonton, and Matthias can provide strength for a team that will likely need it if it wants to compete in the playoffs. So basically, it's a 1st, three 2nds, a 4th, and Shawn Matthias for RNH, and it clears up a few R/UFAs and contracts for us so we can sign Subban and maybe McNally.

Crabcakes Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 There is a Van-Edm thread already. Edmonton wants a stud D and has the assets to get it. Why would they deal with Van? RNH is a possibility, so is Draisaitl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob.Loblaw Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Tanev and a 2nd probably would do it.

We might also need to add a draft pick of some sort Both are completely stupid proposals. A second and Tanev for RNH, what a joke. Or throwing four spare parts for a franchise center, another huge joke. Do you watch hockey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
