<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Kane has always been a solid 30G guy pretty much his entire career (his career G/GP is 0.35 = 28.88G/season), he has a wicked shot, strength, and some speed. I don't expect him to slow down any time soon either. Gibson is only 28 but he has had sub-par stats in the last 3 years, the Oilers aren't that great on defense even though they have come a long way. I would take Kane because then it doesn't make them a two-trick pony team on offense.

Moving Bouchard would be a mistake unless you expect him to be a bust. Need guys on the D-core that you have control over. As a RHD with a killer shot from the point, he will probably become one of the Oilers most valuable assets if he continues to grow.</div></div>

I'm not really concerned about Kane on the ice. He's a talented player and a great fit with McDavid. I just doubt you see the same level of commitment/selflessness as you did for this half a season. He'd probably show up for the Playoffs though. Not to mention that even with Kane it's still the McDavid and Draisaitl show, he's just along for the ride.

Gibson has played in Anaheim the last 3 years. He is clearly their MVP and most teams in the league improve a lot by having him as their starter, none more so than the Oilers.

I do expect Bouchard to be a bust, or at least I don't expect him to be a strong top-4 guy. His skating is a major issue that doesn't look like it's getting better and he has all the tools to make plays but is at his best with time and space, which is easily neutralized and hard to come by in the Playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluetomorrow83</b></div><div>No way Bouchard is considered in a Gibson trade. He had similar even strength points to other D like Fox, Hughes, Burns, Ekblad, McAvoy, etc.. and Bouchard was basically in his rookie year while playing like 2-4 fewer minutes.</div></div>

I would capitalize on that and move him while his value is high.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Maybe the Oilers could trade JP+Barrie+picks for Gibson, not sure if Ana would be interested in 2-years of Barrie, especially if they sign Manson. If Shattenkirk is willing to waive to them perhaps he can go to the oilers at 50% and the Oilers pay for him in picks+prospects.

Although, Gibson isn't available supposedly and he has a cap hit of 6.4m, Skinner looks promising, so getting Campbell or Husso to play in a tandem with him is probably the way to go. Especially with Campbell putting up amazing numbers, he did get injured and tried to play through it and struggled, and struggled when he recovered as well for a bit, but he was good in the playoffs generally speaking (solid in 4/7 games, bad in 1, terrible in 2).</div></div>

Gibson at 6.4M is not a problem, you pay that all day. Just let Kane walk (which I think would be a good move; Kane was able to dial it in slightly for a couple months, I doubt he'll do it for any extended period of time).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>That miller trade is horrendous</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>Omg, you're right, I didn't notice at first glance</div></div>

I think Whitecloud would be the perfect piece for us. Reliable top-4 RHD with size under a long term contract. He would fit with either Hughes or OEL perfectly. Vegas has no incentive to move him, which is why it would cost a lot. Miller definitely puts them over the top, but he's strictly a one year rental. If we can land a young top-4 RHD with term I think it would be worth it and Whitecloud fits the bill.

I think the market for Miller is smaller than people realize, especially with names like Scheifele, DeBrincat and Fiala all likely available as well. Miller is the oldest out of those players with only one year of team control left before UFA, where he would also be the most expensive. There are probably like 5-7 teams that are looking to contend, have the assets to trade and the cap space to fit one of those players and they would all prefer Scheifele for 2 years than Miller for one year. Vegas might be the one exception since they've shown before that they'll go all in, but otherwise I don't know if we would land anything better than Whitecloud or Marino for Miller. I would be happy with adding either one of those two and consider it a successful offseason if we did.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>His ceiling is somewhere between John Manson and maybe Mackenzie Weegar? His floor is Cody Ceci. But I just wouldn’t keep Barrie if I’m moving Bouchard lol. In fact I’d trade Bouchard for Gibson, but only if Anaheim took Ceci and Barrie with him ;) 😂😂😂</div></div>

Both those guys you listed as comparable can skate, Bouchard can't. Weegar especially builds his game on skating the puck. I don't think those comparable are accurate at all.

McDavid and 50% Draisaitl just carried the team to the WCF. If they have an above average goalie they suddenly look a lot different. Bring in some defensemen slowly over the next 2-3 years and the team is very scary. They don't have anything until they have a real goalie.
