Nucker 67 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 OEL will be 30 in a few days, his stats are slowly declining already and has 6 years left at $8+ He's also been a minus player every season. Schmidt, Roussel and Eriksson for OEL ? Even that feels very risky, and I doubt ARI takes this package anyway. I hope VAN passes and gets a cheaper, younger, tougher Dman. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I don't think Coyotes can trade OEL with out retaining at least 1-2M/per. Rebuilding teams don't have any interest of shedding assets for him (unless he's really cheap) and contender just dont have the cap space. Quick question, when a team retain salary, is it only for cap purposes or that team needs to pay the same % of his salary in $ ? If it's only for cap purposes I don't see why the Coyotes, who are rebuilding and will be a floor team, wouldn't retain cap $ to save money. Then, I could entertain a deal for him.

But for sure AZ has to retain or take back something with a lot of term. Unless they just want to give him away for free, but I'm not sure anyone takes him for free at 8.25.

Looks like it may be Schmidt & Virtanen for OEL… Dunno if that’s a good thing or not… I like that EDM proposition of Larsson & 20OA21… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckinEdm Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 OEL's buyout is actually pretty decent if you need to do it at some point in the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtman Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 This OEL crap needs to end, sick of hearing everyone whine. Send them Virtanen and former 30 goal scorer Louie Eriksson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I value contract flexibility at the highest premium. So although Jake has significant issues his contract is wonderful in that he will be gone soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how do you sell that do an owner? Hey man, if we trade for player xyz, in three years I think he sucks and we can pay him millions of your dollars to not play here. Let's get him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydog Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Wait, an $8mil defenceman for 7 more year that cant defend. A career minus player. Isn't that the exact opposite of what we need? We have young puck moving defencemen that will serve us better for way less. Need big strong RHD with grit. Why even entertain these thoughts even if they take loui!!!! 1 more year, let the youth show what they got and evaluate what we have then with just the Luongo recap to sort out. Hitching up with OEL is just the next ball and chain for van but for way longer. Terrrible idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think OEL is the better player than Nate. OEL-Myers could be a really solid pairing for us. If the cap hit was the same, I'd be fine with OEL coming here.

In their exit meeting Guerin told Dumba that he hopes not to lose him by trade or in expansion. The Wild need cap space and Dumba might be a cap casualty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Isn’t the biggest issue with OEL is his foot speed? His skating isn’t keeping up with the increased speed of the game please confirm as I’m unsure I haven’t seen too many zona games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After next season Arizona would be totally free of all money constraints and we’d be paying OEL 8.25m for FIVE more years from age 30 to 35 Love this devito gif my favorite ahah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
