Kobayashi Maru Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 1 minute ago, RWJC said: Hey man, wanna share some of your shrooms? I would break it down like this: -Edmonton needs stronger D, and Myers, while a good D isn't the right mix for us. He is definitely an overall upgrade on Keith as the wheels are mostly off him now -We take on a similar cap hit in Keith, but it's only for the year rather than two more years of Myers -Obviously that is a large downgrade for us, but a bit of a benefit as that cap is off the books quicker. The difference in value is PoolParty who is completely out of favour in Edm now. -Outside of it being within the conference, both teams appear to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, I just remember hearing JR say he doesn't want to fleece other GMs, or wants to do fair deals. (So maybe Poolman and Dickenson, for Poolparty and a second?)

I understand what you’re saying but no one wants Keith in a Nux jersey. no one. as a fan, personally it would make me sick to have any cap space devoted to him.

Vinny in Vancouver Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 44 minutes ago, Kobayashi Maru said: Since Pearson is a roster placeholder (a good one) for us until we are more ready to realistically compete would Edmonton be in interested in a swap for Poolparty since they are ready now? I would assume they would want to swap for a D, but who knows. If we still had Juolevi, we could have traded #5 for #4 in that year's draft. I'm pretty sure we're not the only fan base who regretted passing on Matthew Tkachuk that year, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's tough to overcome when you play with a spoiled primadonna who cares more about personal stats than winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Scanned the title too quick and misread it as Poolman wanting out (of Vancouver). Puljujarvi makes more sense. Wonder what his trade value would be? Third round pick? Can’t see Edmonton having much leverage in this situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jester13 Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 20 minutes ago, Kobayashi Maru said: Hmm, Edmonton could actually need Myers in a pretty big way. Could we toss Myers for PoolParty by taking back Keith (Maybe we then move him later in the year if the wheels aren't completely off) to even out the cap a bit. Similar cap, but it's only one year for us to free up some cap and we get PoolParty for very little to see if he's not a complete bust. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including me. The only reason I see it is for the cap and wouldn't be trying to acquire him. I would be immediately discussing moving him somewhere else or having him retire. If they have a different cap move I would be more than happy to do that if it's short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either he retires or we move him along further. I agree I don't want him playing in Van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabychStache Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Personally i think Pullijarvi has the tools to be good and shows it at times. He is just not suited to the Oilers off the rush style. He could click with a more cerebral centre like Petey. Oilers are going to need to push again next season. A Dickinson or Pearson swap makes sense for both sides. Or send them Mikey D for their Goalie pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
