<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FullSend</b></div><div>Let’s be real though. Even last year, Sekera’s defense was <strong>okay</strong> at best, but it has been overshadowed by what he can do on the PP and he being a 30 point Dman, he was an okay PK Dman. This year, coming back from injury, he hasn’t looked good at all in his few games or here’s a better way to describe him.. “non existent”. 1 measly point in 18 games and A -10, but the advanced stats go even deeper than that I guess. He has ultimately been shown out by Klefbom and Nurse for the 2 PP units, so what does the 5.5 mill D man do now? I say just deal him and his contract away, especially if we’re trading for a top 4 Dman now, if we are, will you want a 3rd pairing Dman? I wouldn’t

Don’t trade Russell, he’s A 5th D who can easily play a top 4 role, if he’s keeping it simple, doing his thing on D, not doing too much, he’s a great Dman, he’s just a mill overpaid in my eyes, Sekera on the other hand..</div></div>

I think you're undervaluing what Sekera brought to the table last year. He was constant all year, anchored the second pairing and gave quality minutes every game. He was a solid, dependable guy through and through, and most definitely a top 4 guy. I don't think Edmonton is in a position to just give those guys away. He's coming off a serious knee injury and trying to catch up to the speed of the game mid-season. On this dumpster fire of a team that makes it even more difficult than it already is. Give him another year and see if he can regain his form. He's basically admitted he's not even 100% yet.

Don't get me wrong, I'd deal Sekera if it was a "hockey trade", but not just for the sake of saving cap space. Ya he's overpaid, but I'd take a healthy Sekera over a healthy Russell (who is also overpaid) 10 times out of 10.

You say you like Russell because he's a 5th D who can play a top 4 role. But Sekera is already a top 4 D who when healthy can play a 1st pairing role in a pinch. Isn't that more valuable than a 5th who can play top 4?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FullSend</b></div><div>I’d definitely sign Hornqvist to that if he wants it, as well as Brodziak, I think he has a home in Edmonton.

First trade is okay, if I’m looking Carolina, the only duo i want is Skinner and Faulk, which of course we add to.

Second trade is a no from Edmonton, looking at Chia’s ask price for Maroon, A prospect like Lemieux isn’t what he’s looking for.

For the Oilers, I think waiving Sekera’s clauses on his terms and dumping is ideal, trading Strome, Letestu, Maroon, Cammaleri needs to happen</div></div>

I'd rather get a center back to keep the depth, the whole basis of the Carolina trade is they are giving up something on defence to gain some offence (Benning is a downgrade for Carolina, but Nuge is an upgrade over Rask). If it's Skinner coming back I don't think they'd be able to justify the downgrade from Faulk to Benning.

Fair - but do you really think Chia will be able to get more? Lemieux is having a pretty good 2nd season in the AHL at almost a ppg. Plus he might be a good response to Tkachuk down in Calgary.

I'd like to wait on Sekera, see how he does next year. If he get's back to what he was last year he's a valuable piece on the back end, and then Russel is the guy to move.

Sujet: Caroline HAS to make the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Doug7004</b></div><div>Yeah, I guess they could wait, do nothing, not make the playoffs, continue not to draw fans, nor get the new owner any playoff gates, keep the 2 prospects who are at least 2 years away, fire Francis and Peters, but get a late lottery pick!</div></div>

Right, the smart thing to do would be to overpay for some marginal upgrades in hopes of *maybe* making it and then getting swept in the 1st round. And Bean isn't at least 2 years away btw, he almost made it out of camp this year.

Following your logic, Toronto should trade Dermott and Liljegren to Calgary for Stone. Liljegren is 2 years away at least and Stone might be an upgrade to Dermott presently. It's worth it because you'll be better right now, maybe Toronto might be able to get into the 2nd round after a trade like this.

Sujet: Fire Sale with Proper Value, Mcdonagh to STL, Nash to Nashville, Grabner to WPG,
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buchnevichh</b></div><div>Stempniak is journey man who was 33 year old at the deadline, Nash is a multiple time 40 goal scorer who has a way better 2 way game, plays the PP, PK</div></div>

Nash's days as a 40 goal scorer are long gone. He's basically a 3rd liner now. He does not get you a 1st rounder. Last year the only trade deadline deals that included 1st round picks were Shattenkirk and Hanzal. Nash's value is significantly lower than both of those guys, and Hanzal was a massive over-pay by Minnesota.

Also no way Grabner get's a 1st either, or a 2nd for that matter. 3rd rounder is probably accurate. Honestly the Zuccarello deal is an over-pay as well. The McDonagh one isn't bad, but take out one of the prospects.

Sujet: Forced to ship out Karlsson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>adlad98</b></div><div>You do realize hes going to free agency in 1.5 yers right? Mcavoy alone is worth more than Karlsson due to his incredibly high ceiling, contract and age.</div></div>

Get off your high horse, Karlsson is worth way more than McAvoy. Karlsson is a top 5 NHL player right now. It's questionable if McAvoy even has the potential to be a top 5 defensman in the NHL, let alone player. Sure, McAvoy has the potential to be a #1 defensman for a team, but even if he reaches that ceiling he'll be lucky to crack the top 10 defensman in the league. That is a best case scenario for McAvoy. This isn't a slight against McAvoy, it's just a testament to how good Karlsson really is.

You can argue that it's not in Boston's best interest to go after Karlsson, and frankly I agree, but don't try and tell me McAvoy is worth more than Karlsson.
