Noble 6 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Decent trade for the Penguins. Could've just kept Pouliot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 That's all it took? Is Oleksiak not as good as I thought he was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Do we know the conditions? Oleksiak's not looking great, but neither did Chara when he first started out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I'm surprised it cost so little. Not the greatest dman but he's certainly a serviceable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The condition is they give up the earliest of the two 4ths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Stanley Cup champions adding size to the back end. But according to analytics, the game is moving away from size and physical play....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he’s underwhelming for a 14th overall, but still seems like great value for a 4th round pick. He’s turning 25 in a couple days, 6’7” and 255 lbs, and he will likely break 200 career NHL games by sometime next year. That would be considered a big time “hit” for the kind of player you’d expect to draft in the 4th round. But mid round draft picks tend to be a little bit overvalued in this league. However, he has had 5 seasons to prove himself and is aging out soon from the team control years. And FA depth Ds are not really a high value commodity. So a lot depends on if he’s going to ever be anything more than a 15ish minutes per night guy. I’m assuming the Stars think he won’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRypien37 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Like what the Pens are doing. Reaves up front. Oleksiak on the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Just a couple of seasons ago Nill was saying that the Stars have one of the best D-prospect pools in the league. Honka and Lindell seem to be the only ones left. Nemeth, Bystrom, Backman, Olesiak are now all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Pedan does not seem to be making his way up to the Penguins. To fill the role you would presume Oleksiak is going to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanleysteamersmyl Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Penny Oleksiak: First Canadian athlete to win four medals including one gold medal at the Olympic games. Olympic Games: 2016 - BRONZE (4x100m freestyle relay), SILVER (100m butterfly), BRONZE (4 x 200m freestyle relay), GOLD (100m freestyle), 5th (4x100m medley relay) FINA World Championships (Junior): 2015 – GOLD (4x100m mixed freestyle relay), SILVER (50m butterfly), SILVER (100m butterfly), SILVER (100m freestyle), SILVER (4x200m freestyle relay), BRONZE (4x100m freestyle relay), 5th (4x100m mixed medley relay), 5th (4x100m medley relay), 14th (50m freestyle) The Penguins are gearing up for the playoffs by adding grit, toughness and enforcers. A steal for only a 4th round pick. I always like Oleksiak and wish Vancouver traded for him. Big, tough stay at home defensemen who will drop the gloves and smash faces. Imagine the twin towers, Oleksiak, 6'7" 263lbs, Tryamkin, 6'7" 265lbs, on the PK Jamie Oleksiak's sister won gold at the Olympics, he has a chance to win silver.
