Oilers

Can all the Oilers fans get together and share something vital? WPG DOES NOT WANT YAMO!

I don't know why EDM keeps trying to shove Yamo on WPG. They don't want him. No one does. EDM doesn't and the rest of the league says... NO.

If you want to trade YAMO, you need to retain and / or offer up a prospect.

Here, share this with your EDM buddies...

Offer Yamo and Xavier Bourgault or Reid Schaefer or Matvei Petrov for Demelo.

Then WPG waives Yamo or packages him elsewhere and uses the prospect they picked up to help the rebuild.

Minnesota isn't trading their 1c for 2nd round pick. If they are out at deadline, easy 1st

Demelo is only one a one year contract, an most likley wont resign with the Jets. They left him open in the Seattle expansion draft kinda showing they were fine with letting him go. Yams is 7 years youngers and fits the timeframe for their retool they mentioned instead of a rebuild which a prospect would do. If Demelo had more term I would say sure add a prospect but its just basically a one year rental.

I would argue that EK is the 1C, but fair enough if Minnesota wants to wait for the trade deadline to make moves.

You are correct on a number of points, but the MAIN issue is Yamamoto's size. The Jets do NOT want any more little guys and definitely not those that are making $3M per year that EDM doesn't even want any more.

There were times over the last 2 years that WPG was talking about trading off Demelo, but the offers just weren't enough to do it.

He's VERY much a stabilizing force on the team and can play with anyone and is very defensive minded. He's worth a LOT more than Yamo.
