Doing this was so urgent and necessary BEFORE Quinn and Petey. It's a priority cuz it's a sign and trade. Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think I would protect Lind over Gaudette yes. Not Gadg tho. I would count ''only'' losing Gaudette to Seattle a win. Unfortunately I would prefer they select Jake; more salary saved. Won't cry if Meyers is selected, again we save salary. But I find Meyers pretty darn useful, albeit while overpaid. But its a fair discussion? I don't see my outlook as the obvious and only choice. Curious who you have protected. I have Lind and Gaudette (maybe just cause I want him to succeed) protected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All signed when the world had no idea what to expect and teams had no cap left. All were 1 year deals. Carl Soderberg - 1 Million X 1 year - previous 5X4.75 million, 35 years old Derick Brassard - 1 MillionX 1 year - previous 5X5 mill, 33 years old Mike Hoffman - 4 Million X 1 year - previous 5X5.18 mill, 31 yrs old Mikko Koivu - 1.5 Million X 1 year(retired) - previous 2X5.5 mil, before that 7X6.75 mill, 38 years old Mikael Granlund - 3.75 Million (1 year term) - previous 3X5.75, same age as Pearson, not as good defensively, and marginally better numbers than Pearson and still more expensive even in the worst free agent market ever. You are comparing, in general, much older players who were negotiating at the worst possible time for a Free Agent in the history of the league. They all took one year deals just to have a spot. These are not, on the whole, a good comparison. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe he does sign Sutter to a less cap hit we are down Center’s. You can do better on the sarcasm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a team guy, got some offensive talent, works hard every shift, still kinda young.... Would you rather have Pearson at $3M+ or Roussel & Bealge at $3M each??? Baby steps Guys... baby steps.......

khay Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 5 minutes ago, Tom Sestito said: Lind is like Reid Boucher Huh? Really? But all indication is the Lind is also defensively responsible while Boucher was lost in the defensive zone more often than not. Boucher was going to be top 6 forward or bust, Lind, at least I hope, can be middle 6 winger or 3C in best case scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 So another contract with max term max $$$ and of coarse a ntc or nmc yeah I can see why Jb apologists need to find excuses every time he does something. I doubt he would have done good that in the ufa market. Flat cap COVID excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alienhuggyflow Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 8 minutes ago, Tom Sestito said: true those oiler guys mcdavid draisatl rly bad playre s sutter is better Yea cuz #97 was such a stealth pick right? The past 3 Oilers Gms have been terrible. They have all sucked at drafting outside of a complete no-brainer and Drai. Holland has reached at 8 with Broberg and signed Kassian to a 4 million year contract who brings nothing to the table but beating up MT. Like I said earlier I will judge this signing once we see what the team looks like going into camp next year. As for what Benning has brought to the team, show me another GM who has drafted a 1c, a 1d a1G and elite wingers. I have watched this team since the 80s and this is the best young core we have ever had. There is nothing wrong with not agreeing with every move but there are so many team's that would kill for what we have going forward. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
