I would not bet against a big rdbound year for Neal, especially with the Oilers. but the diving will be epic, and we'll have to endure both him and McDavid complaining to the refs. The problem for EDM is Russel is their #4D and rh.... I don't understand how they lose that and not suck even more, even with Neal bouncing back. I don't give Neal a big chance, he had some pretty good line mates in Cowgary and couldnt get it done with little Jonny and Monahan. Not sure how he keeps up with McD.

I'm not sold on him as others are. He may just be in a bad situation, but when you let an opportunity slip by to play with one of the best players in the world...I dunno. Blame on both sides player and team development i'm sure. But wow, another top tier prospect flames out with the oilers. I hope he does well wherever he goes but you have to wonder if the Oilers have Yakupoved him... I like Puljujaarvi - but if you sign him, he's waiver eligible. I think they'd have to send another forward at least (Goldobin) Edmonton's way and they'd still stand to lose a pretty damn good player on waivers if they didn't move anyone else. I'd probably prefer to hardball them on cap retention and take Tyler Benson instead - who gives you more flexibility, and comes at a position where you have less prospect depth. Also - I like Benson, I think he'd be a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I just remember EP knocking Neal over with a solid hit. Sorry, EP:s not really a hitter (yet) although he does have kind of a mean streak, but it somehow shows that Neal doesn't really have the fire anymore. Frolik is still a good player in the right role - so I don't see why the flames would ever consider this. Though - if this deal would happen and OIlers retain some of Lucic's salary both teams make a really bad deal. i could live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Benson and have never seen him play, but judging by the stats it's curious that he hasn't got a taste with the big league yet. Any thoughts on why that is? IMO, taking a flyer on a highly regarded prospect like pool if you can buy low is always a good thing. I wouldn't mind seeing him on our 3rd or 4th line to start with and giving him a chance to work his way up. If he can't do it, so be it. I wouldn't care too much about waivers, if he puts it together great, if not he can play in the minors or be claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EB43 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Can we make this a 3 way trade and just kind of sneak Eriksson in there? They flip a coin for who gets him, and we get a scratch and win.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't care too much about waivers, if he puts it together great, if not he can play in the minors or be claimed. Benson is a potentially complete player - he's strong, aggressive, hard working, highly skilled, good vision, he can fire the puck, strong on his skates, wins his battles - leadership material. Saw him in his time in the WHL and it looks like he somewhat predictably has translated that at the next level. I was surprised he did not go higher in the draft - and have wanted to poach this guy from Edmonton since. They're probably going to hold tight - particularly with Puljujarvi inching out of town, but if you have the leverage over Edmonton, that's how I would use it. I also like the circumstances - where he's waiver eligible and can give you a great Utica addition, while the team has added those veteran wingers. I also really like Puljujarvi still, but taking him could come at the additional cost of having to waive one of our bottom six forwards, none of whom I'd be interested in losing (not talking Schaller here, but the guys I have pencilled into the lineup = Leivo, Motte in particular might be on the edge of a good, deep lineup - losing one of them would certainly moderate against any return.

Seems more like both teams throwing the other teams crap against the wall and seeing what sticks. On a side note it was rumored Neal turned done a Vegas offer last year that was shorter term than Calgarys offer. Bet he would like a do over on that, especially if he ends up in Edmonton. Bet Calgary wants a do over. 5 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: yeah this would make no sense for Calgary... unless they're really afraid of facing Ferland 5X unprotected Expensive trash for trash trade. 5 hours ago, Dazzle said: Lmfao... it's pretty sad that the two divisional rivals who haven't improved whatsoever are trading with each other.

Yes I know, but you try to stand pat if you're a Stanley Cup winner. Were they the Stanley Cup winner? The only major change CAL made this summer was swapping goalies. FYI, this is all that they did this summer, so yeah... it's not good. COL/Vancouver both have massively improved their rosters. Standing pat is a mistake - and we'll see how they'll fare next year. Let's not even get into what EDM did. LOL. July 1, 2019 Flames sign Byron Froese July 1, 2019 Flames sign Brandon Davidson July 1, 2019 Flames sign Cam Talbot June 13, 2019 Flames sign Eetu Tuulola May 10, 2019 Flames sign Alexander Yelesin May 7, 2019 Flames sign Carl-Johan Lerby April 20, 2019 Flames sign Martin Pospisil April 17, 2019 Flames recall 10 players from Stockton April 9, 2019 Flames sign Artyom Zagidulin April 9, 2019 Flames recall Jon Gillies from Stockton April 3, 2019 Flames recall Dillon Dube from Stockton April 1, 2019 Flames recall Juuso Valimaki from Stockton March 21, 2019 Flames assign Curtis Lazar to Stockton .

MikeBossy Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Ok so let me see if I have this right Calgary trades about 11 million in cap and takes back just under 10.2 million gaining 800k in the trade Edmonton ends up taking 800k more in this trade Makes no sense at all - for either team lol.
