Sujet: Ken Holland triggering some fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>I will say overall the only things I’m not big on that you did is deal larsson away I’m very big on larsson personally. Dont care for Andersson personally and flipping that first for an aging vet I’d rather just bring jp back into the fold and give him the opportunity he earned a few years ago. But if your in the camp that he won’t return then I could get behind something like that.</div></div>

Me too. Larsson is solid. But looking at every “elite” team out there there’s always a high scoring D man on their roster. Hoping Bouch will be that guy, but he has to eventually take over the top 4.

Pittsburgh has letang. Blues has Petri. Avs has Makar. Caps has Carlson. Boston has Krug. Tampa has Hedman. If you wanna add Vegas, they have Theodore.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dca919</b></div><div>He's already held out once and flew to Europe with the intention of playing in the KHL. He'll point to the 30 goal season <strong>which he hit after that 2yr x 3M contract was signed</strong> (and even with the regression this past year--a young 30 goal scorer with speed to spare is worth a premium). He won't go to arbitration--he'll hold out. If the team takes him they won't be able to sign Mike Smith or Mike Green until after the hearing because he could get a significant raise. Flat cap doesn't mean flat salaries in arbitration for players coming off bridge deals.</div></div>

A lot of factors come into play as to why AA did that. I am not familiar with the story but he’s on a different environment now, has a chance to play 1st line minutes which he never had the chance in Detroit, and a team having 2 best centres competing for a cup in the future.

Him having a historically bad season and a good season prior balances it out. Plain and simple, and it doesn’t warrant a raise.

Sujet: Not much changes due to tight cap space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>They don't have to resign either Ennis or Sheahan. Its likely both of them are going to price themselves out of Edmonton.

If the team itself recognizes that the flat cap is going to prevent any massive upgrades to the team - especially if they keep Neal - then they'll likely bet on the special teams again. It's likely they keep Chiasson and run him on the top unit with Neal on the second unit.

Holland is also notoriously patient with prospects. The only rookie I'd see making the team would be Bouchard if they don't resign Green. That'll strictly be due to him being too good for the AHL, not because they couldn't afford anyone else</div></div>

This is why I traded Chiasson. The oilers were ranked 25-26th I believe on 5v5 scoring. I was just looking for a subtle change on the bottom six to see who can be if not more, be just as productive as Chiasson in 5v5 scoring. The only replaceable winger on the bottom was Chiasson so I went with him.

I think Yamo can replace him on the PP, or I went with the wildcard Kassian. He doesn’t kill penalties so here’s to hoping he becomes a net presence on the PP. That 3.2 mil contract has to be valued.
