Junkyard Dog Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hmm I wonder what it will cost to clear cap. Could probably keep one if Tanev, Marky, Tofu as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we do know is that players tend to slow down on average as they hit their 30's and those who don't are not the norm. Peak likely being around 25-28 for most players from what I've seen/read. It's not about having a hunch...it's about going by history. He's recently had surgery and things start to impact play over time. Can we find examples of players who don't fall off? Sure...but look at them as an exception not the rule. Also have to consider who they play with, how they play, etc. With that and in comparison...some of those people are ready to write Brock off at 23?!?! OEL is in his prime and has little wear and tear on his body and D peak at an older age while usually performing better in their 30s opposed to forwards. Every trade and signing has risks but look at Edler, 5 years older only 2 million cheaper and is our best all round defenceman. OEL immediately becomes our best. I think it's reasonable that in 6 years he will be as effective as Edler is now and the cap hit will be a lot lower percentage then it is now. His contract is also very buy-out friendly.

Millerdraft Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I’m glad we still have Podz, Hogz and Demko but sad we don’t get to maximize Hughes’ and Pettersson’s ELCs as well as Horvat’s prime by adding a player of OEL’s caliber... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Meh, not a big deal imo. It's not like we had a huge hole at LD and nobody knew OEL was going to be available coming into the offseason anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 NoEL. Ah well, longshot to clear cap AND get talent. OEL will probably be there longer than the current GM anyway, he blew this one imo. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 6 minutes ago, Millerdraft said: Sure, if you’re comparing OEL to the entire pool of NHL players you’re going to get that 25-28 age range but half of those players are forwards that peak earlier than defencemen. I’m sure if you took out the forwards, and goaltenders, you’ll find defencemen peak a little later in the 28-32 age window. Now, take out the bottom tier defence men and look at the top tier defencemen and you’ll see that they tend to play well into their mid 30s. One need look much further than on our own team with what Edler is currently doing in his mid 30s. We’re not talking about scrub defencemen For the third consecutive year, the average NHL defenceman was under the age of 27. That's more than a full year drop from just 10 years ago. Again...few and far between and it's a crapshoot. It's not about how "good" he is...it's about how his body holds up and as players age, injuries start to become more of a factor. Especially putting all the eggs in A basket. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl-increasingly-reliant-on-young-defencemen-1.1148442#:~:text=For the third consecutive year,from just 10 years ago! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
