I understand your perspective regarding AA, but if you remember the negotiations from last year they didn't exactly go smoothly so there were signs he may not be happy in Detroit. The caveat to this would be that Holland may have had something to do with it, so that would change things.

In regards to Shattenkirk, I know Edmonton wasn't on his list previously....but it's clear that NYR are moving on and his options are basically to accept a trade and reinvigorate his career OR get bought out and see what happens from there....either way it's fairly clear he'll probably be playing elsewhere next season.

In 2018-19 the Edmonton Oilers allowed 271 goals against (tied for 6th worst in the NHL)....the team above would probably allow 290.

Anyone who thinks adding forwards to the Oilers will fix their problems clearly doesn't understand what the team's biggest issue has been for the past 13 years (with the outlier being 16/17).

This defense on this roster would get overwhelmed when healthy....and that's before Klefbom gets hurt for his regular 20% of the season. Not only would the defense get overwhelmed, but every one of the armchair GM's out there would complain that Bear and Bouchard were "rushed" and talk about how over-rated they are as prospects, when in reality it's the same organizational failure that happens EVERY YEAR for the Oilers....failing to ice an NHL-level defense and placing young players in a position to fail with little to no experience and/or mentor-ship.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>well, ya, that team looks great, but dear god, none of these teams would ever touch these trades. They heavily heavily heavily favor edmonton.</div></div>

Which trade favours Edmonton?

Buffalo trade saves them HUGE capspace and helps them sign Skinner and unloads Bogosian

Boston has Heinen, McAvoy and Carlo to sign this summer....with Chara and Debrusk next year. They will need unload a D. Lucic is more serviceable than Backes and the 2nd Round pick makes up for the extra years on Lucic's deal until you consider buying him out. And that doesn't even take into account the salary retained.

A.A. isn't re-signinng with Detroit as it's already been reported that there were issues during contract negotiations. The salaries even out and Gagner is off the books as Detroit continues to rebuild.

Winnipeg needs to move someone to sign Connors, Laine and Myers....plus they get Laine's good buddy and 1st Rounder next year.

Carolina gets Kassian on a one year tryout to replace Ferland.

I don't see where any one trade favours either team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EthanBearForVezina</b></div><div>It’s not an excuse bud, the oilers have legitimate prospects now. Jones and bear are both good puck movers and have two years of AHL experience under their belt.</div></div>

I understand where you're coming from....but you saw first hand how big the jump to the NHL was for both Bear (GP 18, G 1, A 3, -18) and C. Jones (GP 17, G 1, A 5, -9).

One of the biggest issues with the Oilers over the past 13 years has been their assumption that players with little to no NHL experience can survive/succeed at the NHL level. We've seen this with depth forwards, young draft picks and European players at all positions.

It's great that the Oilers have some legitimate prospects at the AHL level, and that's a big reason why I believe they can afford to use their 2019 Draft picks as assets to acquire NHL-level talent and/or include in packages to clear cap space. Especially since the Oilers won't have any type of cohesive management structure and/or vision in place by the draft. The Oilers need to continue to let the Oilers prospects over-develop in the AHL, and have legitimate NHL-calibre players to teach them and help them grow whenever they are called up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLFAN27</b></div><div>Would you consider trading Klefbom or Nurse?</div></div>

I would be EXTREMELY hesitant to trade Nurse or Klefbom.

I love Klef but you can pretty much count on him being hurt for 15-25% of the season. If another defenceman comes along who costs about the same and is the same age, I consider the move...but I don't actively shop him.

Nurse is interesting. The Oilers NEED to sign him as soon as their able to a long-term, team friendly deal (think Klefbom/Larsson). If he wants more than I think you explore a trade.....hopefully if it gets to this (which I don't think it would) the Oilers have already brought in enough defensive help to give you options on what you look for in a trade.

Klefbom and Nurse are the only current Oilers defenseman with any experience in the NHL who can move the puck....and they are mediocre at that. The only way you move them is for an upgrade in player/term/salary.
