He's probably pumped to play with some fellow countrymen and play some meaningful hockey for the first time in his NHL career. You can crunch numbers as much as you want but hockey players and humans in general are emotional beings. He could've been burnt out in Arizona for sure. Look at James Harden situation in Houston at the beginning of the year OEL is the Kevin Love of the NHL. Washed up guy making superstar money on an awful contract with term remaining. Also not the first time in his career. The Coyotes have made it further in the playoffs than we have since we made it to the finals. Both teams have been mediocre for a decade now basically. Maybe the effort level picks up. I would hope it does. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be working in secret with Ron Francis. I mean, Chayka did take the Coyotes to the playoffs, before abruptly being let go for his stupidity.

Duodenum Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) This defense needs two prime Chris Prongers just to get back to respectability. Hughes/Rathbone/Myers/OEL we are going to bleed goals against. Edited July 23, 2021 by Duodenum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kenhodgejr Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 So exactly how much salary did we gain? 4 minutes ago, captainhorvat said: I really feel OEL has much more left in the tank thn people think. He definitely checked out in his last few years in Arizona but we now get a motivated OEL playing for a team he wants to be a part of and I’m sure the Sedins were heavily involved in bringing him to Vancouver. we upgraded Edler for a guy 5 years younger who is much better offensively. He had potential to be one of the top D's in the league in my opinion. Up there with a younger Girodano, Roman Jossi, and Eric Karlsson. But he has been stuck on a looser team for so long. Im hopping the Sedins inspire him to get his game back and dominate again. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MikeBossy Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 Instead of jumping off a bridge like some CDCers I am going to hold judgement on this deal - OEL is only 30 and did play on Arizona. And Garland is a beaut!!! The 1st sucks but Miller worked out just fine and I am sorry - 1 more year of Sleepy Loui is too much for me - Adios Amigo!!! (Of course he will end up potting 30 goals in Phoenix now just watch haha) 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Just now, combover said: Why will he do well here? it’s more like fingers crossed he does well here just because it isn’t phx. Huh yeah wait for the contracts to expire actually have cap flexibility to make sure we can sign import guys. ( foresight) We aren’t a cup team with OEL and we won’t be for atleast a few more years just in time for OEL to be worthless except the 7.5 in cap he collecting And just in time to see that 9th coming into the league. this will be Yet another “hindsight” excuse. Nope, it’s going to be a great year of hockey in Vancouver. I leave you with wishing for the unknown, I’ll watch this team turn a page towards success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just took LE and turned it around and added an O. OEL. Plus another 5 years at 7 mil. That cost us a 9th overall ,a 2nd and a 7th.

wallstreetamigo Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, wallstreetamigo said: If Benning had been replaced, no chance this deal happens. He essentially traded one year of cap issues for 6. Its a save his job trade clear as day. And probably also shows just how clearly the players and owners are getting sick of losing. Having said that, this trade is not nealy as bad as I thought it would be. Losing the 9OA was what I always expected the price was going to be to move dead weight. To move 3 bad contracts out and get Garland back suggests to me it is worth it at this point. My concern comes from the defense though. We do not have even on eguy who could be considered a true defensive dman. So another few moves need to be made. One of Rathbone or Juolevi will likely be moved now. Hopefully we get full value. Still no one to play with Hughes though. If this is the first of a chain reaction it will not be a bad deal overall. I am not a fan of Benning (or OEL tbh) but I am witholding judging this trade too harshly until we see how he rounds things out around it. 24 minutes ago, 48MPHSlapShot said: This seems unnecessary. I know you hate the trade and want to voice your opinion, but maybe take a bit of time to cool off? Here is what I said about the trade way back on page 28 Not sure how it qualifies as hate or me needing to cool off. The guy I was responding to was being a tool. Read what he responded to and kindly point out where I said Boeser was declining at age 24. Edit: your response assuming I was hating on the trade amounts to you acting like a tool as well. I was calling out a guy for a hyperbolic lie that I never even came remotely close to saying. Edited July 23, 2021 by wallstreetamigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a textbook CDC armchair proposal, and it actually worked out in real life. Fans should be cheering in the streets. Right? This is an absolute coup.

Alienhuggyflow Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 1 minute ago, Tom Sestito said: Chayka is seen as a moron by the analytics community. This is a weird straw man that you’re using to deflect because you can’t accept the fact that OEL isn’t a top pairing D anymore. This isn’t even some sort of advanced analytic. If you play against a team’s 4th line, you will have a low QOC. This isn’t rocket science. For me given all that surrounded that franchise skewed his game. When your young playing on a crappy team is fine as long as you personally up your value. A guy like OEL who had a mutual diststian of contempt with Tochett, playing for a franchise that is more concerned with money then winning, a guy with nothing to play for isn't going to be at his best. hes young, relatively healthy and is now playing for a team he actively wanted to come to and is hell bent on winning. I really don't thinks it's a stretch to say we see a better OEL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
