desiboynux4lifee******* Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Oilers are making room for Mike Green, which will solidify their defence heading forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The last thing Edmonton needs is more wingers (it was a toss-up between that and 1st overall picks) Now they give up a solid defensive center? Guess more moves are coming before (or during) Free Agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Not necessarily true. There is an interview process in the week before July 1st. How do you think deals get done with the first few hours of frenzy day. You're right - as of the 25th they can talk to other clubs - was thinking teams needed permission to approach players whose rights are held until July 1st.

BanTSN Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Gordon stinks and he's overpaid, but who on the Oil can handle that kind of role? Brad Richards? Mike Richards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yeah, curios deal for Edmonton for sure. Chirelli is sure attempting to make this HIS team in a hurry. I really like Boyd Gordon as a 4th line C. Not enough offensive upside for me at 3 C, but great on the draw, in his zone, good veteran presence. He's Malhotra lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Id say Anton Lander is going to get a serious shot at 3C. He looked great at the WCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Good deal for both. Clear up cap for oil, get to cap floor for arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Who needs a depth centre that can win 56% of his faceoffs, handle the hard minutes, and still produce some respectable offense with only 22% offensive zone starts. Evidently not Edmonton lol. You do strange things Edmonton. Role players begone!So true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70seven Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I predict: Eberle + + for Plekanec, Emelin, + Yakupov moves up in Eberles absence, and Korpikoski provides some winger depth. Pleks would be a revelation for the Oilers and Emelin gives them some meat on the back end. Mtl gets a scoring winger. boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Can see Richardson signing with Edmonton as a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Well they would not have been able to speak with anyone yet, and there are very few of those quality centers available, with a lot of teams looking. Who knows - we'll see, but counting on something like that can come back to bite you. I'd rather have one sign and then cut the deal with the risk of having two quality depth centers - ie not a risk at all. Gordon is also a right handed draw - something that is a nice option to have in your bottom six. Perhaps they're also pursuing Santo. My hope is that the Canucks take Richie off the market now that they have Juice's cap to work with (and possibly Santo)... They've been able to speak to pending UFAs since the day before the draft. They can't talk contract, but they can discuss interest and potential roles. Aaaaand I see that's already been covered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billabong Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It's an educated move, Gordon's 3m is better spent on the d and not on the 4th line Hall-mcdavid-yakupov Pouliot-rnh-Eberle Korpikoski-draisaitl/ufa-Purcell Hendricks-xxxxx-klinkhammer Gazdic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
