<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gary_bettman</b></div><div>Lavoie and a 3rd doesn't even get Balcers alone. Reimer will get a 2nd easily. Zero interest in Foegele, Balcers is much cheaper and vastly outperforms him.</div></div>

I mean <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>Balcers has produced at a better rate than Foegle while being cheaper. Reimer has been great, worth a 2nd rounder at least. Lavoie isn’t a great prospect, production isn’t great and projects as at best a 3rd liner. I don’t see it from San Jose</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>crankshaft</b></div><div>Very, very easy no from the Sharks. And it isn't close.</div></div>

How short is the value? Balcers is good but I didn’t see the gap between him and Foegele being as large as you guys are saying it is. Would another 2nd in there do the trick?

Sujet: Oil off-season refactor
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KDow88</b></div><div>What warrants a Yamamoto raise?? Why would they sign Kane to that term? And do you really think Manson is going to pick signing in Edmonton just because his dad is an Asst Coach, so he will sign a discounted deal for both term and $$?? Sorry but these ideas are way too far fetched, Darnell sticks around as an Oiler long term with Connor, Leon and Nuge, especially if it means giving up more in a deal to get a somewhat injury prone Chychryn and using the difference in cap space to sign Kane long term too...</div></div>

Yamamoto warrants a raise for sure. He's top-100 in 5v5 goals this year, despite having a "down" season. He has scored just as many 5v5 goals as Tavares, Zibanejad, Ehlers, Scheifele and a bunch of others. Only 3 Oilers players have more than Yamamoto.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>I also don’t think there’s any appetite to bring Kassian back in the organization</div></div>

This is something our good friend <a href="/users/SevenLeg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@SevenLeg</a> brought up in a previous AGM I had with this deal in it and I don't know if I can fully get behind the idea that Kassian wouldn't be welcome in Montreal<strong>at least from a hockey ops perspective</strong>. The memory of fanbases is certainly longer but we're talking about an incident seven years ago nearly to the day that may as well have been committed by an entirely different human being.

I think that kind of attitude - while not actually problematic or anything - discredits how much work Kassian has put into himself to get sober and stay that way.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Yeah, I like the first suggestion. But retaining on Koskinen leaves no space for in-season call-ups in case of short-term injury - and I'm 100% certain Holloway and (one or both of) Broberg and Samorukov will see the light of day in Edmonton this season. Holland needs that $1.5M cushion IMO.</div></div>

I could justify Holloway and Samorukov making appearances, especially Dima even if I'd rather give Holloway the entire year in the AHL, but there's no justification for Broberg unless the injury list is a mile long. Niemelainen is a more apt call-up than Broberg right now. He needs a full year to get back on track. Last year was disastrous for ol Philly Broberg.

I get that the organization will give both their 9 games but I'm really down on Broberg at the moment. I'd be quite literally horse-and-carroting his 9 games as a goal to work towards next year.
