Sujet: Skinner is a good goalie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LastDaze_</b></div><div>Agreed he’s your best Dman. And moving him would be the only possible way to make your team cup-contenders.</div></div>

Untrue. The issue with Nurse is that because he doesnt have a same-tier partner to synergize with, he ends up trying to do TOO much and that's where the screw ups happen.. Ceci is basically treading water on the first pair instead of someone like a Toews synergizing with a Makar scenario.

Not saying Nurse is Makar level either, let's get that out of the way. He is fine as a first pair guy, but is way better when simplifying his game and not overdoing it. Really needs a better partner to cover for his shortcomings. Is he also overpaid? Yep, by about 1.5-1.75M and there would be way less noise about him if his AAV started with a '7' instead of a '9'.

Sujet: Offseason Oil Change
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blues4TheCup</b></div><div>blues pass. also Bjugstad will cost a bit more</div></div>

I agree. Bjugstad would fetch more on the open market. He has, though, made interesting comments regarding his time in Edmonton. I think the combination of being tolerant to our weather AND the prospect of playing for a contending team AND having a clearly defined role AND knowing he's a fit for sure could knock his price down. He's easily a 2.5-3M guy as a UFA (summer overpay included). I wonder if 1.5M gets it done with the above caveats.

As for Parayko, what's the overall feeling about him in your fanbase? I hear everything from "oh my god cap-dump, to the above 'first pairing RD' guy". It's tough for me to gauge his value since I don't see him lots. I think he's solidly a top 4 dman though. I just saw he's from here and the biggest hurdle (weather) wouldn't be as big an issue compared to other players.

Sujet: Offseason Oil Change
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Blues aren't retaining on Parayko, And that's a pretty pathetic offer for a top pairing RD.</div></div>

Just because he slots into the top pair doesnt necessarily mean he is top pair material. Case in point: Cody Ceci.

Ceci is by no means a top pairing guy. He's playing there because:
A. Bouchard is better served playing with Ekholm
B. Ceci provides 'Decent' minutes compared to the alternative (rookie Desharnais).
C. A better fit defensively than the recently-departed Barrie

Parayko, while being undoubtedly better than Ceci, has struggled as of late and is viewed more as a Top 4 guy, than a bonafide Top Pairing guy. He would play on the Oilers top pair though, for the same reasons above.

Sujet: so tage is good
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Why would Edmonton do that? Barrie has been their best defenseman for much of the season. He leads the team in GF% - and has since Woodcroft &amp; Manson took over last February, both in the regular season and in the playoffs. He's on pace to score 50 points again this season and the Oilers have their sights set on going deep again this year, they aren't trading him for a middling prospect and some picks!</div></div>

I'll always find it hilarious when fans judge by name and not by body of work.

Un-named RHD A, since last season:
100GP
11G
47A
58Pts
~19mins a night
56.4/52.7 CF%
54.4/52.9 FF%
positive xGF/xGA both years..
$4.5M, this year and next

Un-named RHD B, since last season:
94GP
7G
48A
55Pts
~22mins a night
54.3/52.5 CF%
53.5/49.7 FF%
getting caved xGF/xGA this year (-10.3)
7M no term

dman A is obviously Barrie, who is (on this site) almost universally unwanted, while dman B is Klingberg, one of the more sought after TDL targets.. so while I'm not sitting here suggesting Barrie &gt; Klingberg, they're not world's apart yet only one gets a bad rap.

TL;DR: Edmonton EASILY declines.

Sujet: I suspect this would be the Chychrun offer EDM puts forth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rext7177</b></div><div>I heard rumors that AZ asked for Broberg and Holland declined, same situation with Ottawa and Pinto, which makes me think that's why AZ has lowered their ask, 1 roster player, two B prospects, (or 1 A prospect) and a 1st, might need a 2nd in there</div></div>

I think you're bang on.

Barrie in the last 4 seasons is 277GP - 34G - 153A - 187Pts - minus 2
That's 0.68pts/Gm (55.7pts per season average over 82 games)

He's not gonna win the Norris despite those numbers, but he certainly is NOT the cap dump everyone else is making him out to be. Plus he's making 4.5m for this year and next. That's good value for a dman putting up those numbers. All things considered he is on a decent cap hit &amp; term, and for a team looking to put up points he fits the bill very well. It's just that the Oilers have his heir apparent in Bouchard and are lacking on the defensive side, making Barrie the odd man out.

Barrie
1st
2x "B" prospects (Samorukov + Lavoie)

That's more than fair.
