Really it makes no sense for them. Cap roomv. Ellis and Josi are both due big raises soon. Doubt Preds can fit it all under the cap. To add a entry level contract soon at that number 10 spot would be real smart. I could see this trade happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap increase is going to be more than enough to cover the cap increase for Ellis. Also Rinne and his 7M comes off their books in a year and Smith and his 4M will comes off their books when Josi is due his raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashville has 12 million in cap,,,, with the cap rising.... and 7 million worth of Rinne expiring next season. this is not Poile's idea. this is a Pet Chia pipe dream.

riffraff Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I like Ellis in the regular season. In my pool and did well after starting late. But I felt he was exposed in this years playoffs - struggling to handle big forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That includes PK and Johansen, Turris, Forsberg et all? Again I don't know their particulars but that seems like a lot under the cap with Josi probably going to want 8 and Ellis at least 7 or 8.

Tanev is not a offensive dman however he has averaged 21 points per 82 games over the past 5 years. This is solid offensive numbers from a defensive dman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 People really not sure what they're talking about. Tanev allows a player like Klefbom to shine offensively. Don't forget that the Oilers were 1 Goal Against behind us, that shot suppression could very well have helped. Increased defensive presence allows for more offence from the other side of the defensive line. Tanev might not be a great puck shooting D man but he is a solid puck moving D man, he can make a solid first pass and is usually solid on the break out even if his numbers don't show that. Tanev would be an overall net benefit to the Oilers now under a decent contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shot looks like its coming off a floor hockey stick. Love Tanev in the dzone but he is a klutz in the ozone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oilers could take Karlson and derail him totally. They need a Tanev, \but I don't want to send any pieces their. They will not make the play-offs this year either. Unless they change their thoughts that you can win with just offense. The Oilers will struggle until they are out of the play-offs when the games don't matter, Exactly like last year.

DeNiro Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Wasn't the belief when they acquire Larsson that he had untapped offensive potential? Maybe we can sell them Tanev on that same principle. If Larsson cost them a Hart winner, the 10th overall pick for Tanev is a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to look at a player like Tanev as not how he looks on the ozone but rather his silky passes out of the zone on the stick. That creates offence. Probably moot as I doubt Tanev waives for that shat show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 7th worst in Goals Against this past season (1 goal away from being 5th worst)... and yet they still talk about offense being the problem?? ?

If he played with McDavid, Draisatl, and those high scoring forwards, he might get 30 to 40 points each season. With his defensive acumen, and getting 40 points, he could get a big raise, couldn’t he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
