<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SwarmChair</b></div><div>Analytically he shows very well this year. And he’s been playing top 4. But appreciate your opinion.

Who would you target for a Ceci upgrade that you think would be an upgrade.</div></div>

Moving Ceci is a tough decision. 15 game winning streak with him playing important mins.
I wouldn't want to disrupt the defense tbh. They're playing for each other and as someone who's extremely critical of defenses I think they should just add depth. Someone you can get relatively cheap who can step in a 3rd pairing role in a pinch. For that I'd just go later pick for a solid veteran. Prefer RD with Broberg being so close(I'd call him up for playoffs). Stecher? Miller?
If I'm spending the 2nd I'm thinking Walker or Tanev(with EDM likely adding). Won't know the real cost until the TDL

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brolekb2b</b></div><div>&gt;Until a contract is signed with a NMC it could happen
&gt;Stamkos <strong>has</strong> a full NMC.

pick a struggle my guy you just proved why this whole thing isn't a possibility

As said, BriseBois said mid season they've got no intention of asking him to waive or seek a trade, and Stamkos said he's planning on staying at least to the end of the season.
Even if you won the lottery and he would be willing to waive, we're not retaining 50%, at least not for 3rds and conditional 4ths for a guy like him when a washed up grilled cheese man from Philadelphia at 50% retained got a 1st, 3rd, and high rated prospect in Owen Tippett in return. Your offer gets beat my multiple other teams, and I think Stamkos would waive for other places before considering Edmonton.</div></div>

READ THE TRADE COMMENTS!
Stamkos &amp; Kane are very comparable HYPOTHETICALLY(quit getting your panties in a knot over intentionally unlikely scenarios, its just a bit of fun) so HYPOTHETICALLY they would fetch comparable returns... hence the trade value being close to(actually more) P. Kane! TB fans going blue in the face over something I've clearly stated as HYPOTHETICAL is embarrassing! Get over the "he's gonna stay" BS and either play along or beat it!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SwarmChair</b></div><div>Do you even watch the games? Holloway IS scoring depth. He’s creates lots out there. And selling him now would be selling him at his lowest value. And if the Oilers want MORE scoring depth they can spend a 1st and get a 2RW. They can target Mantha, Tarasenko, Duclair, Okposo etc etc. there’s lot of rental RWers available for picks.

Seeler is not better than Desharnais in no shape or form. I know his game well. Good defensive D with a bit of a snarl but Vinny is better in every respect including puck movement.

Ceci on fire? Wtf are you talking about. Dude does an okay job on defence but couldn’t score to save his life. He’s on the longest goalless streak in the entire team. And yeh offence matters on his spot when the Oilers consistently set him up for shots and offensive zone puck touches that he does absolutely NOTHING with. Did you watch him last night? He gave away the puck at the offensive blue line with a bad pass. He shot directly into a defenders chest when set up for a point shot. This is his game, every game. Meanwhile Kulak hits a post and gets an apple on a smart pass into the slot.

You’re bad at assessing hockey, just plain bad.

Walker is also better than Ceci. I know his game well. That’s the upgrade the Oilers need. Not this imagined upgrade of Kulak to Seeler.</div></div>

Holloway - 16GP 2G 1A 3P -2 0.19P/GP
Career - 67GP 5G 7A 12P -2 0.18P/GP
WTF are you talking about??? He's been mediocre. Plays on the 4th line with no important roles on PP or PK... You're glorifying his importance to EDM way too much!

Seeler/Walker combination is the attractive part of the deal since they're familiar with each other and EDM needs depth on defense!

Ceci isn't on the top line to score goals... he's there to play defense! IDK if you've noticed but EDM is on a historic winning streak with Ceci at 1RD... Ceci&gt;Kulak PERIOD!

Seeler wasn't implied as an upgrade to Kulak... WALKER IS! Kulak is the cap dump and Holloway is the return to get Walker! Seeler is insurance and depth for a playoff run! He's leading PHI in EV GD which is HUGE for a deep playoff run!!! He's also playing more than Kulak or Desharnais on a weaker team in PHI.
You got some Oilers blinders on!
