I would be shocked if Brock was involved. I hope we get OEL, people can have their own opinion but I think he would be another Miller type trade. The coyotes have very little talent and play a life sucking boring game. Elder has been pacing as a 45-+ D the last few years, this year without much PP time. OEL is younger and better than Edler and I think Edlers our best all-around D. I think a lot of people here are stat watching, once he's traded here, it will be nothing but upgrades all around and I pretty confident like Miller he will thrive playing with Hughes or Tanev along with a very very good top six.

IF (when) we do win the cup, it won't be because of him .... we're positioning ourselves to get there and he may be "part" of it, but he won't be the player. A goaltender is a more important piece if you're looking for ONE player to put you there. We're in the driver's seat in this...he wants out and has named 2 teams, Vancouver being one of them. It's like we're giddy over being a "chosen one" but we're doing the choosing, remember? 15 giveaways in 9 games. Is that what I just heard on the radio? U think Edler is better than OEL?

OEL is going to really change our defensive make-up. See, a guy who has Lindell as his avatar would fully understand this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 6 minutes ago, Me_ said: Then perhaps a Kesler-type deal then... Still too expensive. No way is Eriksson NOT. part of that deal. Only way this gets done is if Eriksson is a part of this deal. Only way I would do it otherwise is if they retained like 3M in which case I would consider OEL at 5.25x7 a good deal if it is Kesler-type deal but that won't happen, Yotes would have to be dumb. So Yotes take have to take Eriksson or no deal. the only thing for certain is that OEL's contract and NMC are gonna bring down his value a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Only way I see this working. (In other words I don't see this working) Loui, plus Stecher's rights, and a 1st in 2021, and 2022. So basically, no chance. Neither side would agree to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers only has 4 years left. We are 1 of 2 teams OEL listed. This is a Kesler-type scenario. OEL is 29.

I think if this deal happens, OJ becomes expendable as the Canucks will have a top two LHD of Hughes-OEL for 5+ years. I would be interested in OJ + 1st + 3rd + Eriksson for OEL + a small piece, as a somewhat non-pandemic similar deal to what Kesler got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap hit - Winner Edler Points- Draw Edler (33 to OEL's 30 last season) Long term EL has had 55 points 4 years ago. And has cracked 40 point twice in the past two years. Edler has been more consistent and steady. Both left handed. (Can OEL play the right side?) Edler is 1" taller, and 12 pounds heavier. Speed, OEL? Basically you are taking a gamble that OEL will be better with a better team? Besides I can't figure how to fit $8.25 million into the lineup. I'd almost be more willing to gamble on PK Subb....never mind. LOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think OJ looked bad in exhibition before the bubble cup. In fact a lot of times I didn't notice him. That's high praise for a defensemen for not making mistakes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
