Sujet: Oilers get a goalie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shylo_Moxii</b></div><div>you're believing JP gets you Gibson. Kassian costs a 1st to dump big no. Start with Holloway and work your way up from there without adding salary dump players.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>:laugh Kassian is a cap dump it would take the 1st alone to move him, So it's basically Jesse Puljujarvi for John Gibson $1,600,000 retain. Yeah you're living in a fantasy world.</div></div>

You both are dreaming suggesting it would require a first to move Kass.... Overpaid but still an nhl caliber player. Let's say he makes double what he should that's 1.6 dead money for two years does that justify asking for a first round pick? Not even close.

As for the trade I personally don't like the idea of being married to any goalie brought in. I'd like a short term 1 or 2 year deal to at least get a better clearer picture of skinner. Talbot maybe.
Barrie for soucy trade I think should be careful. Yes save cap but moving a right shot for left shot makes 11-7 much more difficult. So that's one regularly used tool out of the freshly signed coaches play book.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Quillanrocks</b></div><div>I don't disagree with you; I dread to think what $$ and term Seattle may be stuck with if Francis goes hard after Klingberg and would prefer they pivot elsewhere if too rich and too long. (God knows his first 3 BIG signings aren't looking too good!!) But Klingberg can defend and has a history with Oleksiak, so I get the appeal if I'm Francis. And I just hesitate to spend draft picks on players who aren't sure to be a fit for this team how it is currently designed. Barrie doesn't seem like the guy. He ran the PP with 2 of the top 5 players on earth. His numbers are inflated and no one would ever confuse him for a defender that you'd trust to preserve a lead!! Nothing about Seattle's roster says "that's the guy to make the team better." JMO!</div></div>

Well both Tippett and woodcroft have used Barrie late in games to hold leads and woodcroft actually moved Barrie onto the pk when it was struggling to snap out of it. The reputation about Barrie not being able to defend are very much over blown and inaccurate. That being said not suggesting he's a shut down type definitely a playmaker more than defender but much more capable than most on this site will credit him for. Kinda like how you pointed out he ran a pp with two extremely talented players personally don't think it's right to view it in a way that takes away from giving the credit earned. Multiple other players have ran that pp over the years klef nurse bouch but with Barrie it hit historic heights for extended period of time. The perception of Barrie on this site just seems well off what it should be in my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Quillanrocks</b></div><div>Barrie is better, is he? Hmm. Okay. Regardless, I just think Seattle will maximize what they do in the draft, only trade picks to move up and pick higher or to acquire young players/prospects that truly move the needle for the franchise. All those 2nd rounders everyone trades for on here I think are capital that Francis hopes to utilize to acquire another 1st round pick. Next year, also.

Do you honestly think that Seattle would trade their second highest draft pick this year for Tyson Barrie??!!</div></div>

No I do agree draft capital should be a priority for Seattle. Also think Edmonton would be making a large mistake moving Barrie. However if adding an offensive d is high on the list I'd absolutely give up that pick to avoid taking on the contract klingberg is wanting. If money was equal I'd take Barrie everyday over him the fact money and term is more limited on Barrie just makes more of a positive.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Quillanrocks</b></div><div>Seattle is not trading 35 OA, or any picks for that matter, to acquire Tyson Barrie . . . none from this year's draft, anyhow. (Doubtful from next season's draft, either!) Draft picks are more important to the Kraken franchise than any other team in the league, currently. Furthermore, free agent period falls AFTER the draft. Kraken will take a stab at Klingberg and others before even considering a trade for Tyson Barrie. (for all the times EDM fans want to propose this trade, I'm happy to paste why it's not happening!)</div></div>

If Seattle is considering taking a run at Klingberg then why won't they want Barrie who is cheaper better and less of a commitment? Kinda an all around win isn't it?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Will do! Every single player on the Oilers roster had better results when playing with Puljujarvi than without. He's a catalyst for success.

I just hope jp wants to stay. He looked much happier this time around than he did his first stint. Won't lie do have some concerns there just the way Holland touched on it. My guess Holland wants to sign but might need to honor an agreement could see being involved when getting him to come back. Come play two years if still want to be moved will do then and now we are at the then stage.
