Sujet: Bringing back ebs Just for fun thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dylan1995</b></div><div>Yeah Bouchard getting big mins would be nice but do you think person would actually be fine? He seems like a pp specialist over in Sweden with bokk an honestly maybe they trade Benning an sekera or Russell in the summer an maybe both Bouchard an person can make it

As for dizingel an eberle I like both love ebs tho but dizingel is faster but eberle just seems more of a safe signing if you can get dizingel at 4x4 that'd be ideal</div></div>

Persson, from what I've seen, hasn't slowed down since Pettersson left Vaxjo production-wise. I read somewhere that he's become steadier at all facets of the game too. Huge considering he was essentially playing rec league a few years back. He'll do fine with 3rd pairing usage and PP time, which gives Edmonton the luxury of having Bouchard in the AHL.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sekera is bought out this offseason if he's lost a step: his deal isn't full of bonuses, so the savings with his deal only increase with time. Russell can be moved, it's just a matter of where based on his partial NMC. Might be easier after next season. Benning's as good as gone, but they won't recoup much for him. I see the D-pairings looking really similar to what was iced this year; the market for quality defenders is slim this year and Edmonton is still in a financial pickle. Gut feeling says it'll be something like:

Klefbom - Larsson
Nurse - Russell
Jones - Persson

Which I admit is not a hell of an upgrade. There's more mobility on the back end, especially with the bottom pairing, but its still far from a contending blueline.

I have a funny feeling that Dzingel is going to cash in as much as he can this season. I have him pegged at around $5.25M over 6 years. Pricey, but if he continues his production, he's completely worth it.

With Eberle, you know what you're getting for the last productive year of his career, but players are starting to fade sooner with the league getting younger, faster, and stronger every year. Anything over 3 years for Eberle is going to be risky considering he'll be 29 this offseason. I don't know if it's a symptom of playing for the Islanders under Barry Trotz, but his production already looks like it's falling off, and that he might only be a 40-point player for the remainder of his career. Given that Dzingel is younger and faster, I wouldn't entertain an Eberle deal this summer unless he wants to come play here for cheap.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dylan1995</b></div><div>I see Bouchard doing what sergachev did his first year play pp mins but sheltered on the third pair I think reggie would help him I like marody but I almost think hes not fast enough I like the kid line of

Benson McLeod Yamamoto

Also I would love to bring back eberle but if you can get dizingel for cheaper do it but I like ebs because hes been more consistant more of a safer signing you know?</div></div>

I'd just rather not have another kid go straight from junior to the NHL. Marody's looked fine in Bakersfield thus far. And I'm trying not to get my hopes up with the chemistry those kids showed in preseason. God it would be nice though.

If that's what you'd have Bouchard doing, then I'd rather have Persson do that and give Bouchard big minutes in the AHL. He needs to become more than a PP specialist, and is already starting to show well at evens in the OHL. Give him the extra time to figure out his skating and play away from the puck and he's all but guaranteed to become a top-pairing defender.

I'd take Dzingel at the exact same price point strictly because he's 2 years younger. Likely to be more value in the back end of the contract than with Eberle. It's a bigger risk for sure, but Dzingel has consistently produced with less than what he'd have available to him in Edmonton.

Sujet: Would Flyers be Willing To Bail Them Out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>Yeah but a .930% as a backup to Carter Hart (at least in my AGM scenario) is different. There are backups around the league who with a more minimal amount of work, show better numbers. Look, there are always risks, and resigning Talbot for that kind of money coming off 2 awful seasons would have been just as bad. What the Oilers really need is a good young goalie (Anthony Stolarz who has the potential to do good things in a fresh city). You may recall Stolarz used to be considered a very highly regarded goalie prospect.</div></div>

Just look at the trade again buddy. It's an aging, 2-yr cap dump defenseman, Philly's 3rd-best (?) goalie prospect, 5th (?) best forward prospect for Edmonton's best young players with high upside and a goalie that hasn't really even shown whether he's good or bad...

There is no justifying this from the Oilers side. It doesn't save them money and they lose all of the upside in the deal, save for the small possibility that Strome is a top six player and Stolarz is an NHL goalie.

Sujet: Connor Brown is perfect winger for McDavid - also Timmo Thomaskinen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Maybe, but he's still better than pretty much all the wingers in Edmonton. I'm arguing that Zaitsev and Larsson are pretty close to the same player and adding Brown to the trade gives Edmonton value, they get an upgrade on the wing and the defensive swing is almost a wash. Adding a 2nd is a tad much but if Edmonton argues it's needed to take on the extra cap hit then I guess that's okay. If you think you are going to get a top line winger, a pick and a defenseman for Larsson you are very much mistaken. Remember the last time Larsson was traded for a top line winger?</div></div>

When did anyone ask for a top line winger? Nobody asked for Nylander or Marner.

Sujet: Connor Brown is perfect winger for McDavid - also Timmo Thomaskinen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>This is just silly. Edmonton isn't a good team and they are on a streak right now that doesn't look sustainable. Their differentials on scoring chances are still very much in the negative, meaning they are giving up way more chances than they are getting. Their goalies have been playing better and they are playing a better defensive game but its cost them in their chance generation. Eventually the depth guys who have historically struggled to produce will continue to struggle and then its going to be a lot of 4-3 losses where McDavid has 3 points and the rest of the team manages to lay an egg. They need depth so bad, especially on the wings, they really should be targetting teams with great depth and trying to get guys who could produce if given a bigger role than they have on their current team. Guys like Brown are the exact type of player you should be wanting. Guys who are stuck playing bottom 6 minutes but have shown the ability to do more if given a chance.</div></div>

<a href="/users/littlejerryseinfeld" target="_blank">@littlejerryseinfeld</a> is completely right.

I feel like fans of Canadian teams, especially the Leafs and Habs, get this excessive coverage on all of their players, whether they are the star guys like the Tavares/Marner/Matthews of the world, or the 25 year old depth prospects playing 3rd line minutes in the AHL, which is why the Brown's/Leivo's/Carricks/Nielsen's/Lehkonen's/Scherbak's/etc. end up being extremely overvalued on here by the fans of those teams, and then get moved for peanuts. Tell me more about how Semyon Der-Arguchintsev is going to be the next GOAT! <a href="https://www.tsn.ca/talent/a-look-at-the-maple-leafs-2018-draft-class-1.1121509" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.tsn.ca/talent/a-look-at-the-maple-leafs-2018-draft-class-1.1121509</a> Read this Leafs draft fluff piece. It reads as if every single guy that was drafted last year has top 6 fwd/top 4 d potential. Common!

I'm not sitting here saying that Connor Brown isn't a good hockey player, or that Zaitsev isn't a good hockey player either. And you're not wrong in saying that the Oilers depth could stand to be improved. But taking $2.5 million extra for a guy that, no matter how you want to clean him up, hasn't scored more than 39 pts in his career, and a so/so dman on a very long contract isn't how you do it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>I see Brown as a really hard worker who plays responsible minutes and can score if given the chance. I don't think he's an elite player by any stretch, but I have seen several Oiler games and their wingers are not very good, Brown would help them on the PK and also provide some much needed speed to a relatively slow lineup.</div></div>

You're still not telling me why he's more inclined to be an impact player than Rieder, Caggiula, Chiasson. They're all hard workers. They all can kill penalties. And they all make less than Brown.

More importantly, you're not convincing me that the Oil would be better if they traded Larsson for a winger and a downgrade. Would you trade Zaitsev for Andy MacDonald and Michael Raffl? Raffl scored 20 goals before and AMac isn't that big of a downgrade from Zaits.
