(Proposal) Edm-Van


Recommended Posts

Agree, Toews. 
 

I think Tanev's play on the world stage just upped his value.  Do you think it's unrealistic to think Tanev plus the 2nd from Columbus could get us 4th overall, maybe if we were to add in a later pick? (Do we still have our 3rd rounder?)

Maybe couldn't get us the third overall, but there is a noticeable dropoff after the "big three".

I think if we did this it would be to hedge our draft by assuming at least one of these two guys will go on to be a star in the league, and it bolsters our weak LW position.

Edler would be an asset I would like to use to explore options but I don't think it's with Edmonton. They need a veteran d man, no doubt; but Edler may be a little long in the tooth for their liking. If he was 25 or 26, they may take it seriously. 

Let me ask this. Would you trade our fifth for a Taylor Hall? He would fit nicely now and he's locked up for three more years. We'd also be able to meet his contractual demands when he gets close to UFA due to the Sedin's big contract ending. I think he would be a nice fit with Bo and Baer thus creating a new #1 line and re-signing Hennrik and Danial to more team friendly, shorter term contracts.

Edler's departure opens up a spot for Hammer, who I like a lot more on our blue line. He more dependable in all zones and makes few mistakes or bad decisions. 

 

Baertschi          Horvat          Hall

Sedin                Sedin           Hansen

Gaunce             Sutter          Rodin

Higgins             Granlund     Burrows

Dorsett

 

Hutton          Tanev

Hamhuis       Sbisa

Tryamkin       Gudbranson

 

Markstrom

Miller

 

On paper, it looks like a line up with real potential. I know it's not going to happen but it's fun to imagine.

It would take ALOT more than 5th overall to get Hall.

Probably, but having the 4th and 5th pick overall gives them a lot of power and options at the draft. They need a top line d man to quarterback a powerplay. Keeping one of the picks and dealing the other would put them in a great position moving forward. Dropping Hall's contract would open the door for a high profile d man.

No it wouldn't.  And there is ZERO chance JB has any interest in the Oiler's 'group of four'.  If there is a player to target it's Draisatl.  However, will Dubois be a better player - YES.  so there is really no reason to trade for Edmonton players.  Now Tanev for the fourth pick?  That I would entertain. :)

Now that, is unrealistic. No way they even entertain the idea of trading Draisatl. Behind McJesus, he's their next best center. Second in scoring and only getting better. 

You wouldn't take Hall for a fifth but think Tanev would get us the fourth? lol. You are right about one thing. You would give them a lot of entertaining laughter at that offer.

If the Oiler group of four are such valuable assets, why didn't they get Gudbrandson?  Why does the team always finish close to last?  Could it be because they are OVER PAID for what they contribute?  Could it be they are ONLY one way players, who are selfish?  IMHAO Tanev is worth more than any of the Oiler four.

jb said this morning that florida called "him" regarding mcaan , they do have the assets to have done a deal , so either jb's comment was true about florida calling , and/or Edm, wasn't privy, or Edm, is cooking something else, and wasn't interested in EG.

Or the Panthers want nothing to do with the Oiler four?  If the Oilers weren't interested in Gudbrandon I would be shocked.  Don't you think he's exactly what they need?
