Ive seen the Jfresh graphic on OEL like everyone else but do we really believe Dickinson is a “top 5” defensive forward in the league? (I like the pickup but come on.) It seems like some fans never fail to take good stats with a bag of salt and bad stats as gospel. I also remember reading that Tanev’s underlying stats were in “decline” when we let him walk to Calgary… those stats are very hard to rely on when guys are changing teams. At the very least I’m willing to judge the guy on what he does in a Canuck sweater before declaring him dead weight.

OEL SCHMIDT HUGHES ??? JUOLEVI MYERS DEMKO ??? We should sign a RHD like Hamonic for two years to wait for Woo to be ready, if he's ever good enough to play in the NHL. Jurmo will probably play in the AHL at some point, I guess he tops out as a middle-pairing guy. We've got Juolevi, who has some untapped potential. I don't think our team can continue to stock up high draft picks, collect prospectsa and hope for the team to just get carried by the kids. You can't just have a bunch of kids on your team, this isn't Pittsburgh in 2006 the league has changed. If you want to win, you need a mix of vets and players just reaching their primes or well before it. Demko, Rathbone, Hughes, Garland, Hoglander, Pettersson, Boeser and Dickinson have yet to reach their prime. We didn't have the defensive prospects to fill in that defense with homegrown players so we went out and traded for them instead. Think about this realistically: We traded a first rounder this year and a second next year to get rid of $12 million in dead weight while brining in a contract that has a ton of term left on it. OEL has shown that he's a fairly durable player so he can probably play well like Edler until he's 35 or 36. The cap will be higher and we'll probably gain some prospects in 2022, 2023 and 2024 that can replace the veterans that Benning has put in place. Like Cheveldayoff in Winnipeg and Bergevin in Montreal, I see now that Benning will be here long haul if this team makes the playoff next year. Although a new GM would be nice, I'd rather the team win and if we get some hits on some future picks the team will stay competitive. Be positive folks At least everyone isn't an idiot. Well said 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Lol. Apparently we stole BOS trade targets. We should trade them Schmidt, JV, and Holtby for their 1st 2021 (21st pick), 2nd 2022, and DeBrusk. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE ROUSSEL, BEAGLE AND ERIKSSON ERA IS OVER PEOPLE!!!!!! that’s addition by substation right there people Some were even willing to pay a 1st to dump only Eriksson. Masterful trade.

I wasn't then and i am not now Hopefully OEL doesn't score in our own net and be the next LE 2.0 where fans are always saying buy out for years to come Arizona is relieved to be out from that outrageous contract and not worry about signing Garland This is not a Pat Quinn type move to make the team better We bought high once again, and with little in draft picks for awhile, where will the talented cheap players come from? Eriksson was signed to rejuvenate the sedins. It was an odd move but yes people were hopeful that loui could help milk out production from the sedins for one more run at the playoffs. this move is made to complement the young core group that we have. It’s more like getting JT Miller than getting Eriksson. I’m cautiously optimistic. I think OEL will shine in Travis’ system. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Shane Doan was gone the Coyotes were also done. Maybe this rebuild will work out for them. Or will Chykrun and the next be in the same boat.. being sold to a team on the up for draft picks.
