This is what extending Barrie sets us up for. A scenario where we have Broberg, Bouch and Barrie in the lineup. Those 3 guys need sheltered minutes, and can't PK. That leaves 3 penalty killers (Samorukov, Nurse, Larsson). I figure Holland wants Bouch developed into a well-rounded defender, so it's possible that he penalty kills but I doubt Holland builds a roster that forces him into that role in his 2nd full season. The solution is to keep Bear, he can play in key moments and penalty kill. With this lineup, Tippet sits Broberg in the press box all year and lets Lagesson/Niemalienen/the extra D-man penalty kill. Barrie got benched in the last few minutes when we had a 1 goal lead against Winnipeg. We don't need a passenger like that going forward, save the sheltered minutes for rookies, not our top 2 RD!

Sujet: Defensive Play Not Required
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>They don't really need that much defensive help. Their real issue is winning on the dot. There is only so much McDavid can do, and he's getting the easier matchups there.
They got blown away on the dot by TOR and it showed.
If EDM could win more on the dot they'd be a much harder team to play. I do have to give McDavid some credit here. He's starting to understand that. He's starting to become a much more rounded player.
Part of their problem is the weaker division. It's easy to win faceoffs against other younger centers who aren't good at them either. But when they hit a team like TOR who has people who can win on the dot, they go 33% on the dot and they lose.
They got to do better.</div></div>

Yea I agree absolutely. Bob Stauffer on the radio broadcast was gonna lose it if we gave up another crucial d-zone draw. Faceoffs don't make it or break it but it makes things much trickier than they need to be

It's easy to be reactionary after that loss, but I honestly think we could use some defensive help. Our top 4 LD is a huge weakness, and we could absolutely use a middle 6 forward with a defensive conscious over a scoring winger. We rank 2nd in the league in goal scoring. The only thing left to do is bolster defensive capability throughout the lineup. A 4th line that can win draws and PK very well, a 3rd line that can do well enough in the faceoff circle and not get hemmed in their zone for extended periods of time, likely driven by a capable 3C

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fedorov91</b></div><div>That's fine, you don't get him and someone will pay the price for him. Staal is having a worse season then LGD and has a different value. 1.8 is the same contract for staal technically and no 5th so just a 3rd and it's equal. Playoff teams would rather take lgd right now for his Faceoffs then staal and his lack of scoring. I'm totally fine with you passing because 24 other playoff teams want him right now and we'll get our 3rd and I can care less that the oilers aren't the team to get him


Oh and to add to it. Holland covets a Right handed shot right now, good luck in the playoffs</div></div>

I can tell that you are pretty biased, but I'm sure I am as well lol

On no planet is LGD anywhere near as valuable as Staal. Staal is a 100 point scorer. Long time captain and leader. Won a cup. Scored 47 points in 66 games last year. As of last season, he is a very productive 2C. I really doubt a down year an a historically bad Buffalo team takes away that much from his value. You can't compare a guy with Staal's track record to LGD who has had an unusually high FO% this season and has never scored 30 points. Staal is at a steal of cap hit. The retention factored into the return of a 3rd + 5th rounder. Realistically, the 5th was the cost of retention, the 3rd for the player. LGD for a 4th is fair, but ill be on the record as saying I dont like giving up a 3rd, incase your right lol

Sujet: Bean for Bear - whats the add
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilers_Diehard_71</b></div><div>My thought is next year you have Nurse and Bouchard, Bean and Larsson, Barrie and Jones (or Lagesson or Russel). We would be Balanced</div></div>

But still, Bean, Bouchard and Barrie can't penalty kill. That means you only have 3 penalty killers in the lineup (Nurse, Larsson, Jones/Lagesson/Russell). I really doubt Holland plans for a 2021-22 season where we force an offensive defenseman to PK. What will happen is Tippett benches Bean so Russell or Lagesson can penalty kill. That's what's happening to Bouch this season. We really need to plan our defence in a way where everyone is being properly utilized. I would do a Barrie for Bean swap. Fixes our surplus of RD while keeping a good balance of defensively capable players. I doubt Carolina does that move though

Sujet: Idea - The ability to do multiple years of ACGM in one post
Would anyone else like this feature? I figure this would be very difficult to add but I'll share the idea anyway

When I want to make an ACGM for the next 2 seasons (a 2021-22 part, and a 2022-23 part), it takes a lot of additional effort. For example, as an Oilers fan, I sign RNH to a 6 year deal on the 2021-22 post, and then have to sign him to the same deal at 5 seasons on the 2022-23 post. So on the 2022-23 post, I have to resign all the guys I signed in the 2021-22 post a 2nd time with one less year on their deal, and sign all of the guys I want to keep who expired in 2022-23. Some people like to layout a hypothetical plan for multiple seasons, and a feature that lets you do that easier would be helpful

This is how I see this feature working. Say I wanted to do an ACGM for this season, until the 2022-23 season. Maybe I do a few deadline moves during the 2020-21 season. When I'm done with the current season, I can click a button that says "Next Season" or something like that. Everyone's contracts would lose 1 year as we move to the next season. I would resign, trade, create that season's lines, and once again click the "Next Season" button, and the cycle can repeat. You could go back and forth between seasons to change parts of the plan, each season having it's own page. For people viewing the post, there could be a section for each season, with trades, lines, cap breakdown, etc.. from each individual year, to clearly show what happened in each season (trades, signings, etc..) The comment section would be under the single post containing multiple seasons so people can discuss the multi-year plan in once place

Sujet: Klef Barrie Larsson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>There is absolutely room for Barrie provided they can find somebody who can play with Mcdavid for 3.5Million, Darnell Nurse resigns for 7 Million and jesse puljujarvi gets 3.2 million or under on his next deal.</div></div>

It works financially, yes, but our defence will be very unbalanced. In 2022-23 assuming Klef is back, our defenceman would be: Nurse, Barrie, Klef, Bouch, Broberg, Larsson. You need 4 defensively capable defenseman to PK and log big minutes to shut down tight games with a 1 goal lead. As I said, Barrie gets benched when we have 1 goal leads late in the 3rd. Bouch and Broberg are too young and inexperienced to be relied on in those situations, and PK. That means 3 of our defenseman can't PK or be trusted to shut down a game. Bear can PK and be relied on defensively. Barrie is a defensive black hole , at this point in his career I highly doubt he turns into a capable defensive player. You can't have 3 sheltered/ 1 dimensional players/ passengers
