Sujet: Montreal in the mix
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsRSus</b></div><div>Right, but IMO Suzuki is our #1 KK is our #2 and Romanov is our Corner Stone For LHD with Guhle eventually. The need for an Eichel type player is there for Montreal but his contract ties up Montreal with way to much money past the next 2-3 years when they will need to sign the young guys. To me the price isn't the problem in an eichel trade its just I see this team being able to grow around the kids they got now better then they would to build around just eichel and smaller pieces.

Eichel at 8.5 Would be amazing but McDavid Exists and he's worth his contract but that makes people think they deserve more because of it and now players like Tavares are aging while making 11 Million. They need criteria for players to earn over 10 mil cause some players earn way too much</div></div>

I mean, agreed that players make too much, then you look at the NBA and your brain explodes. Lowry just signed a deal to make 30mil a year. Ridiculous. McDavid is likely worth more. I mean, is Marner really worth almost 11mil? NOPE. Point contract price is probably really accurate. I see a lot more players getting big money without looking at the team dynamic and impacts on getting a Stanley Cup. I think McDavid is worth his contract, but it holds the Oilers back from having a more rounded team (...also the location and especially management impact that too).

Sujet: Final piece for a long playoff season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Final piece? :tearsofjoy

Anyway, the trade is terrible.

- Georgiev is a downgrade on Koskinen
- you didn't even save any money in the deal
- you gave up assets to do it

That's called a lose-lose-lose deal. The three main points (performance, cap and prospects) all took it in the pants.</div></div>

How do you see that? Koskinen is horrible (i.e., 0/4 on 4 shots vs. Vancouver in 2021). He is much older than Georgeiv and on the wrong side of his career peak. He is an overpaid backup. Georgiev is younger locked for two years on a good contract and hasnt hit his ceiling yet. To move out Koskinen means a loss to the Oilers any way you slice it. The Oilers are needing to start winning more playoff games now and with Smith and Koskinen that isn't happening, Georgeiv gives them a better shot.

I get the money piece....so retain less, only 1mil.

Sujet: what now lol
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsRSus</b></div><div>In what world does Caufield make sense at Center? He's 5'7 he'd literally have no advantage in the draw.

The only Lines with the current players are

Anderson Suzuki Caufield - Scoring, Size, Speed, Playmaking and Suzuki is good Defensively
Hoffman Kotkaniemi Toffoli - Good Offensive Potential ( Could easily be line 3 any night)
Drouin Poehling Gallagher - Wing depth is too good so someone has to pencil in this spot (Easily could be #2 any night)
Lehkonen Evans Armia - Checking Line

With our wing depth 1 of Gallagher/Toffoli/Hoffman/Anderson will play the 3rd line spot. In this scenario gally is but I think the two middle lines will play very similar minutes. 1st line will play a majority and the 4th line will be heavily used to defend and apply constant pressure just like Staal Perry Armia did in playoffs.

We need 1 more Solid 3C because I think evans looks better with lehkonen and armia and poehling has to still prove hes made the right advances in his game</div></div>

Trade Kraken for Colin Blackwell.
