Sujet: Jesse to TB
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>I_Know_Nothing_About_Hockey_Or_Any_Sport2</b></div><div>Are there rumors that the Lightning are interested in Puljujarvi? I’m just curious because I’ve seen a lot of Armchair-GMs about it.

I don’t know how much sense this trade makes. Puljujarvi seems to have a better trajectory than Raddysh, while Raddysh gives the Lightning cost control (and he does play a physical style that would help the Lightning if he could manage it on an NHL level, but I don’t know enough about Puljujarvi to say that he doesn’t too). Especially if Puljujarvi can be somewhat physical, the Lightning probably do this trade, but I would be surprised if the Oilers did it.</div></div>

Bob Stauffer (who usually subtly hints at things and is right as he is very very in the loop with Oilers management) mentioned the lightening and Hurricanes as potential suitors for Puljujärvi.

The hurricanes make sense, they’ve coveted him to play with Aho for a while, as they did internationally for Finland a lot, as well as with their club team in Karpat before they came over.

I made this with TB to see what could fit since if Stauffer is saying it there is usually something going on. Raddysh is a fit because he used to play with McDavid in Erie and is probably very close to NHL ready after a good season in the AHL. Puljujärvi has dropped off to the point where I’m hoping either for a prospect of similar pedigree that is having similar struggles (I had thoughts of Alex Nylander up till yesterday) or a prospect of lesser pedigree that is developing above projections (like Raddysh).

Sujet: Lets fix this team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jtcurls</b></div><div>Toronto will want more for the 3 guys they are moving. Yes they are in salary cap he’ll but they are in win now mode and you only offer 1 guy in Benning who would make next years roster.

Eathan bear is a similar prospect to what they have in sandin and lillegren already.

Don’t want picks and prospects.

Deal built around Larsson, Kadri, Brown and maybe Kapanen would work but if Kapanen included it would need to be a first plus a 3rd</div></div>

I agree that Toronto would want more, however Toronto doesn’t have cap space to sign Kapanen, so I figured Oilers could either offer sheet him which would only cost them a second, or trade for him. (Valued as 2nd plus Bear)
Kadri is not in the good books with his team, so I thought he would come a bit cheaper. (Valued as Benning, Khaira, Puljujarvi)
Brown could probably be had for the 3rd round pick

I think this works well for both teams, helps Toronto get out of cap hell with cheaper younger players. Oilers get some decent forwards to balance out the lineup.
Oilers take on $11 million in contract, while sending about $4million to Toronto. So that’s $7 million in savings for them to put towards signing Marner!

I could see possibly adding a mid to late round pick, or Gambardella to Toronto

I don’t see Larsson getting traded. Oilers can’t afford to overpay in free agency for a top 4 right shot defenceman

Sujet: Seven new wingers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>That could be the best group of centres, but the wingers are NHL average at best. You think Gauthier is first line right winger but you can acquire him for an AHLer?</div></div>

Edmonton's in a position where they're going to need to find a cost-effective fit alongside McDavid for the time being. Gauthier has a toolbox that suggests he's play well with McDavid, and Puljujarvi could be attractive to the Hurricanes given time to rekindle his magic with Aho. It's not about me thinking he's a first-line winger right now, it's me seeing a fit based on Gauthier's speed and keeping balance on lines 2 and 3.

Average wingers alongside 100-point centers probably play better than typically-average wingers.
