Sujet: Off-season 2021 - D adjusted
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheGreatBigMac</b></div><div>This would be a fun team. Interesting trade ideas Neal + Bear, Koskinen (retaining) as a backup to Nashville. Seattle and Nashville might go for it. Nice job.

I would quibble with a few details. It looks a little tight to resign Nurse and Puljujarvi next year but I think it's doable with what you've got. Not a fan of Nygard (doesn't seem to have hands) or Turris I would go with Shore or Benson or both. Khaira is good at 4C but it would be nice to have Derek Ryan at 4C and Khaira at 4LW then you have a good righty faceoff guy and injury cover for C and RW.</div></div>


Appreciate the constructive criticism and alternate ideas. Thought I’d adjust per your recommendations. Not sure what Ryan would command but estimated best as I could.

The retained salary coming off books after next year (Koski, Pou &amp; Sek) is approx. $3.8M; hopefully enough to extend Nurse &amp; Pulju.

Sujet: Off-season Play Around Pre-expansion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>There's a whole segment of Oilers fans that I don't understand. They wait years for a homegrown 1st pairing RHD and then they throw him out the first chance they get. PTSD effects from the Decade of Darkness, perhaps?</div></div>

Not enough ice time for all of the young D, especially with Bouchard coming up with superior offensive skill, ideally suited for 3rd pair for another season. Left side could also be tight with Broberg coming in a year or two.
Bear (solid but definitely not a 1RD) and/or Jones could either be sitting/rotating in and out, lost to expansion, or given that Bouchard is basically here, cash them in for a greater need - a young promising goalie who can grow with the core. Would never throw them out, but trade from an area of strength to address an area of weakness? Yeah. Asset management.
