Nuxfanabroad Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Did the ED, COVID(cost-cutting) nightmare & GREAT drafting from 2015-2019 create conditions for a pending UTOPIA?! Stay tuned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DownUndaCanuck Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 After the dust settles, value-wise this is a brilliant trade by JB with a bit of risk. 9 overall in a shallow draft for Garland who's basically a 1st round pick in himself. Then we dump 3 brutal players and contracts (granted only a year left on most) and get back a top-pairing defenceman. The risk comes with the longevity of OEL but time will dictate that. On the whole, good solid trade, fixed 3 of our issues (top-6 scoring, star defenceman and clear contracts) all in 1 big hit. 2 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This continues to be some of the dumbest fan logic in existence. Especially since the league is going smaller, the impact of being a smaller player is less of an issue, especially for a guy that plays with the tenacity of Garland. Gourde is a chihuahua who will bark and get in the face of the big dogs like Edmundson. Is Garland like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeltaSwede Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 From very scared to very pleased. I think this will be a very good move for us. Reminders for everyone: OEL contract expires when he turns 36 and reported caphit of 7 mil (reported). Garland is nasty and is a huge add for the top 6. I really really like this. 3 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him back cheap and I'm excited about this roster. I honestly would have liked even Graovac in a 4th line C role. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Oof, adding a 2nd (and 7th) as well. We managed to make this deal even worse lol. Life under Benning. 1 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 1 minute ago, -AJ- said: I do like OEL quite a bit, but he's not Norris-calibre anymore. Top 4 for sure and maybe even still top 2, but not Norris, at least not as of the past two years when he didn't receive any Norris votes. I'm still very excited with this deal though. OEL is way better than Edler, and we have him at one million more than Edler was making. This is a great trade. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJC Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 11 minutes ago, Kobayashi Maru said: Why not just a straight up swap of Schmidt for Zadorov. Probably similar value. I’d hedge a bet saying Schmidt is still likely worth a little more than straight up for Zadorov. He’s proven and has term. could snag a 3/4 out of that deal too I’d imagine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sell.the.team Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 I guarantee you the rest of the league is pissed Arizona bailed us out of cap hell for next season. This gives us a lot of flexibility to make some more moves with respect to Nate should there be actual interest (or just keep him if not). We were hog-tied before which destroyed all our leverage in any negotiations. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we sign Garland, aren't we even more capped out than we were before? Except we have filled two roster positions with the $12M of essentially dead cap space. Haven’t seen enough of Arizona in last couple of years to really make a lot of comments here. definitely sounds good for the in ice product next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but if you do trade him, make it a real hockey deal. He is a very valuable asset. Don't give him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 4 minutes ago, Johnny Torts said: Now the Holtby and Schmidt dominos are left. Schmidt and our 41st to get back in the draft? If somehow Schmidt and 41st yields Zadorov and their 11th could take place (signed at a discount) and Holtby goes to either Boston or Carolina, that would be amazing.
