Sujet: Edmonton Oilers signed Brad Malone (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)

Think he gets claimed?</div></div>

As an Oiler fan, I hope so. I don't understand this signing beyond sentiment.

The mantra surrounding Woodcroft is that he puts offensive players into defensive positions, such as using skilled players on the PK. Definitely a CF%-mentality man. This is a direct contrast to both MacLellan and Tippett's dedicated use of journeymen PK-ers on their fourth lines. Malone is more the kind of player I'd expect to see those coaches using at the NHL level, not Woodcroft.

If Woodcroft is going to use that mantra to optimize Edmonton's bottom six, Malone's isn't the kind of name they should be looking to. It's names like Benson and Marody. If some combination of Draisaitl, Hyman, Kane, McDavid, Nugent-Hopkins, and Puljujarvi are set in top-six stone, then the bottom six would need to operate on the premise of:

Foegele - McLeod - Yamamoto
Benson - Ryan/Sceviour - Marody

as history would suggest that the trio of Hyman, McLeod, and Nugent-Hopkins should be looked at heavily for PK usage. Draisaitl, McDavid, and Yamamoto are still options under Woodcroft too.

Malone isn't going to improve this roster: in my eyes he's going to be at best a voice during practices or in the locker room but it's hard to maintain that level of leadership when you aren't playing or factoring into games. He isn't an upgrade on Benson but Malone's is a name I'd happily welcome over the ilk of Shore and Turris.

God forbid the Oilers run the Unicorns setup and put the big three down the middle, maybe Malone regularly dresses on the fourth line? The dynamic completely changes if getting Holloway and Marody into NHL games becomes priority.

Kane - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Benson - Draisaitl - Hyman
Foegele - Nugent-Hopkins - Yamamoto
Malone - McLeod - Ryan/Sceviour

I'm skeptical of Malone as a full-time NHL option. I'd very much see better forwards coming in to push names down the roster as opposed to forcing names up the roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ryanma260</b></div><div>nah nah nah Petry is clearly a Norris level defenseman and playing like one this season! If you look at all the trades that this guy presented, I think, even as a Leafs fan that all of them are very fair in value! For example, I would totally trade Robertson and 2 premium picks for the best defenseman of all time in Ben Chiarot! Wouldn't you? The idea that Hintz and 2 picks is worth more than Jeff Petry is simply mind boggling to me! If you're a stars fan you should love this trade!</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EsoYeezus69</b></div><div>Please tell me you’re kidding for the Stars trade.

You’re asking them to trade their number 1 center who’s averaging close to a point per game for a dman who has the same point per game average as Blake Comeau and is getting paid 6 times more, plus is playing absolutely horrible.

Plus you want Dallas to add? This is one of the worst trades I think I’ve ever seen, you’ll be very disappointed by Petry’s return if you think this is the minimum for him.</div></div>

Guys, this is 100% a troll.
No Habs fans think our players are worth this, even the ones you call crazy (like me).
Now, who is the new Habs Homer here?

Sujet: UNDER CAP 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nate</b></div><div>Giroux on the Leafs is such an awesome idea, but I don't think it happens. Met him one time during a tournament in Hearst, absolutely awesome dude. I'm not sure Arizona wants to moves Crouse, and IMO Kerfoot is the better player. I don't think people give Mayfield enough credit on here, but that seems like too much. Also I wouldn't be so eager to move Amirov, especially for a few months of G. Amirov is going to endear himself to tons of leafs fans when he comes over to North America</div></div>

I agree, Kerfoot is having a really good season but if Leafs go for a big name player they will need the Cap space and unfortunately Kerfoot would be the causality. Being a big body, Crouse will not get pushed off the puck like Kerfoot does. I think Crouse would be better on a better team. If it means increasing the offer, I think it would worst it. I appreciate your positive feedback. How refreshing!
