<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mmccRed198913</b></div><div>Not sure why Pitt would do that. Seems like it'd be about 500,000 of cap relief but cost them a top 15 pick.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Please explain why Dvorak at 4.5 with similar production to granlund (and granlund's production should improve with a full year in the system), who also is now coming off a knee surgery which will make him even worse, isn't just as much of a cap dump as granlund?</div></div>

Dvorak is a much better defensive asset than Granlund is. Granlund's production (5v5) was on pace with Dvorak while he was on the Preds, but that was getting 60% OZs. When Granlund got traded to the pens, they used him in a more defensive role, and his metrics/produciton crashed a result. Dvorak has been consistently used as a defensive mid-6 center/wing for his career and his production hovers around 0.4-0.5 P/GP despite not always having great linemates. I think it's a clear upgrade and provides cap savings. Pens also get another first, moving to 31st. I think that pick swap is worth it for both teams

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Those 2 players are not the problem. The Oilers took a meaningful step forward this season/playoffs.

They need to find a way to move on from the nurse deal if they can, but other than that, their cap table is actually much healthier than the Leafs.

Bouchard with another year to develop and moving some players like Yamamoto &amp; Ceci for cheaper deals... Worst case they would be better off moving Hyman or buying him out that taking this deal.</div></div>

Meaningful step forward by... winning less games this year than last year? Having less cap flexibility? No meaningful prospects coming up? They regressed. McDavid had a really good regular season but at the end of the day no one cares. No one is taking Nurse and they have too much cap tied up for too long. Either they win next year with guys who care about winning or they've run their course as a core

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>DeBrincat is just categorically worse than Draisaitl... And by a lot. You are paying almost the same money for a much worse player (I am not saying he's bad... Just worse than a top 10 player in the league).

This whole post is wonky... You are preaching cap relief... But you are asking the Oilers to trade one of their best cap value contracts.

I get that you are saying the renewal will be expensive, but this is for the player the best player in the world thinks is the best player in the world on many nights.

If you want him, you have to leave the Oilers in something they can sell to their fan base as a better financial position against the cap. You have not done that. Not even close.</div></div>

Leaving the whims of an organization to 2 players who have not produced the results you've wanted is what losers do. Good teams make hard choices when it matters most. Leon and Connor have gotten everything they've asked for but haven't been able to get out of the Western conference. For an organization with a history like theirs, regular season stats just simply don't matter.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Ok 2 questions:

1) with DeBrincat signed for 7.75 vs Draisaitl's 8.5, isn't that like trading 4 quarters for 50 cents?
2) Sanderson &amp; the 1st are valuable, don't get me wrong, but the Oilers are going to have a hard enough time signing and retaining Bouchard, how does having more star players to sign help them when you only created 3.5M in cap relief?

If you wanted to make a deal for Draisaitl, I think you need to start with including Nurse in the deal. Nurse is the problem, not Draisaitl.</div></div>

1) DeBrincat, as a protégé of Kane and Toews, knows what it takes to win. A lower cap hit (plus more term) matters when cups are all that matters. DeBrincat also had a legendary season with Connor in 2014/15 so they reunite.
2) Only fraudulent teams care about the cap next season. Go all in. All the matters is the next chance to win the cup. Worry about paying for it later
