Sujet: swing for the fences
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Deal built around broberg for chychrun I'm not for but willing to listen depending on how able to make the cap work.

I agree Barrie is more useful than most think, but with money being tight I just don’t love his cap hit, and would prefer flexibility and more of a shutdown guy. I have faith in Bouchard being able to fill the PP1 role and continue to develop his defensive game, so I really don’t see a reason to keep Barrie around if you can replace his production cheaper (Bouchard stepping up, signing a veteran like Stralman).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>I hate these 5 or 6 or 7 assets for one types of trades creates soo many organizational holes that once the big main window trying to win in ends there is very little hope in extending it.

I get your point, but there’s no guarantee the oilers can keep mcdavid or draisaitl in town once their contracts are up. Yes 6 pieces are going to Arizona but 2 are roster players (Barrie, Foegele) who have cheaper replacements (Bouchard, Holloway). Let’s say that you’re overpaying AZ with Schaefer to take on those contracts (and to retain salary). The trade is then essentially Broberg, Lavoie and a 1st for Chychrun. Maybe this creates holes in the future but their chances at a cup before McD/Drai contracts expire are likely better off letting go of a top D prospect for a current top 4 dman.
