You know, if you're going to take trade ideas from other AGMs, at least read through the comment section of the AGMs you take from to see how the trade was received before adding it to yours. That EDM trade was rightfully panned as awful for EDM.

So by this logic I could make a Buffalo AGM trading Tuch for Pulijiarvi and since it came from a Buffalo AGM it’ll be realistic for Oilers fans to make the same trade?

I like this trade a lot!! let’s use this logic to our advantage

Well that's horrible for Edmonton.

Toronto isn’t giving up a 1st to get rid of Mrazek. FINAL!

We made 10 picks last year including 2 1sts and 2 2nds. We have 11 picks this year including 3 1sts, we have 8 picks already next year including 3 2nds.

We have enough picks for gods sake

Another tear down, after finally seeing some promise is malpractice

Let's add defensive forwards! Let's start by trading our best defensive forward!

Actually not really, might be a little light from the Buffalo side. But Olofsson on McDavid or Draistal wing would be deadly. Kid has one of the best shots I have ever seen. And his 5vs5 play is pretty good now. That wrist injury he played through last year IMO was a blessing cause his overall game improved immensely.

Buffalo is getting a first with the best player in the trade its very one sided.

Leafs don’t need to trade a first to dump mrazek.

Yeah that's not true

Chicago isn't giving up a first for anything. If Toews is open to move, they would be asking for one at the least.

JP is hardly the best player in the trade, he has slightly better career totals playing with one of two top point producers in recent years, while Oloffson played on a team that barely scored in recent years.

JP is two years younger but he also wants out (for the second time). Superstars wanting out can drive down their market value and JP is far closer to being a bust than a superstar. So even, if he is the best player in the trade, he isn't the most valuable.

It's true that trade is probably terrible for the Oilers since they would have to pay Oloffson and at the cost of a first but with Holland I wouldn't be surprised if he did trade JP+WF+picks (probably not a first) for Oloffson if he doesn't retain Kane or land Giroux.

Your link for the Kings trade doesn't mention anything to do with two of players your trading for. No way Kings do this trade.

@wojme
HOW IS THIS A TEAR DOWN.
It is taking on salaries for picks, adding RHD, trading offense for defense forwards.
Iafallo, Compher and Puljujarvi are all strong defensive forwards who should help the PK and keep the Shots against low.
Grans, Iafallo, Roy, Puljujarvi, Toews, Compher, Foegele > Asplund, Krebs, Olofsson
Even with a line up with defensive forwards, this line up will score more than last years team while giving up fewer goals, especially adding two good RHD.
EDIT:
I will miss Olofsson, Krebs and Asplund but the return on them is very fair and helps the team, next year and in the future.
Compher and Iafallo are only 27 and 28 but can score and are very solid defensive forwards.
Let me add, Puljujarvi on the top line with Skinner and Thompson will allow them to free wheel knowing Jesse has their back.
Tuch, playing with Cozens and Mittelstadt will be the necessary veteran to be an on ice coach for them.
Quinn as Toews RW and Iafallo as LW is a perfect line to erase Jack's mistakes.
The fourth line could be one of the best in the league.

Grans is worth more than the unsigned Johnson.
Roy is worth more than Portillo, even though the latter is an excellent prospect.
Iafallo is worth those two draft picks.

Reports did come out saying jp hasn't requested a trade.....

How? Jp is miles better. Every single oiler had improved stats with jp on the ice even Connor and Leon.

Not a chance in hell that CHI sends you our 2023 1st round pick AND Toews for Asplund... Wouldn't even send you that 2nd round pick... That is an absolutely baffling proposal.

There's still some sort of disconnect even if he did not formally request for a trade. If he's being shopped his market value will be reduced, he could go for more if there is a bidding war but chances are that he stays put this offseason unless he gets offer sheeted perhaps.

That just means he's a useful/good player or a fit on those lines. Where did you see that Olofsson made Connor anf Leon worse?

1 year of Toews, a likely top 10 pick, and a high 2nd for Rasmus friggin' Asplund. That's just terrible for the Hawks.

Heh. Whoever made that EDM trade was hiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Well he certainly hasn't helped anyone in Buffalo accomplish anything. Not saying he's a bad player just doesn't have enough tools to be used in different areas and situations more of a pp shooter which is nice but oilers have that role already locked in with Leon. I'd be open to having him if the deal made more sense and if the contract was reasonable for how he would be used that seems doubtful.

Remember that former captain in Buffalo that acted like a cry baby and demanded a trade. His market value didn't suffer at all and Buffalo still got a very generous return. If jp gets moved it won't be at a reduced value.
