<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>twodollarlobster</b></div><div>I don't watch Montreal, but is Suzuki ready to be a 2nd line center? I'd think Winnipeg would want back someone who is roster proven like Domi. Something like Suzuki, Domi, 1st, and a 3rd?

I mean even that might be high, Laine hasn't reached 35+ goals or 65+ points in the last two seasons. I'm not saying he's a bad player at all, BUT, he's inconsistent and has been on a slight decline the last two seasons points wise. I think Winnipeg fans (I don't know if you are) over hype him a little too much. This coming from a person who lives in Winnipeg</div></div>

Laine had 63 points in 68 games before the stoppage which is a 75 point season in 82 games, so thats considered a decline now? lol

If anything Laine is under appreciated in Winnipeg and doesn't get enough hype, quite a dumb fan base to be honest, they loved Tanev but was ready to ship Laine out for whatever, didn't care much about the return, yeah that's a really knowledgeable hockey market... 😂

Agreed his numbers declined the last 2 years but was on pace for 35 goals this year and probably could have hit close to 40 had he not been injured. On top of that, if you watched him this year, you'd see that his defensive game grew immensely from previous seasons. He's developed in to an all around Power Forward.

As for Domi, i think he would be a nice get, but i think he is far more inconsistent with up and down seasons and Winnipeg would be better off filling that role from within or the draft. But i think i could be persuaded on him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>twodollarlobster</b></div><div>Oiler fan here: Why did Drouin play such a small amount of games? As of now I'd prefer the Oilers not do this trade as Nurse is a very solid 3D or maybe 2D if absolutely needed.

Even if you give Drouin the same amount of games as Nurse, he only would have gotten 39 points this year. Now, I don't watch MTL so I don't know if this was a down year or something I'm missing but I wouldn't want to see this trade.</div></div>

Was having is best year at the beginning of the season with 15 points in 17 games but Ovechkin destroy him and he missed almost the entire season. He did come back injured at the end of the year, dont know why he played injured but now is 100% healthy if the playoffs restart in August

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>twodollarlobster</b></div><div>Just a thought. Do you think the Oilers need a winger like Kapanen? If Yammo and Kassian keep playing well then it negates the need for a top 6 winger.

I'd honestly prefer if the Oilers spent that on a center on the #3 spot.

I don't hate the trade though. If Yammo didn't play well I'd be all for this</div></div>

Yamamoto is young and still developing so keep him, Kapenen is an upgrade on Kassian, I'd say it's fair to say Kassian has benefited significantly from McD and Dria, Kapenen has comparable numbers playing with much lesser players in Kerfoot/Spezza, Kap has so many tools that Leafs haven't been able show case due to the Quality RW ahead of him in the depth chart. Putting Kap on a line with both or either McD or Dria will create fantastic production. He's fast, he can score, he forechecks, he penalty kills he checks so many boxes for the Oilers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Wait, what? Roslovic is 1.5 years older and has a career highs of 9 goals in the NHL. Puljujarvi has a career high of 12 goals, which he set at just 19 years of age. Roslovic didn't even make the league until he was 20, and that was just a 1 game tryout.

I'm not sure Edmonton should accept a straight trade (although they probably would) let alone add a significant pick / prospect.</div></div>

I'm not sure you'll find a single hockey brain outside of Edmonton that agree's with your statement. Just to be clear, since you cherry picked the one stat that Pulji has over Roslo...Rolso has played 30+ less games and has 1 more career point. Pulji has barely shown he can play in the AHL while Roslo has shown he's probably lead that league in scoring in a full year. I don't think this is even close....another bad draft by the oilers...But hey, at least they didn't draft Juolevi...but probably should have taken Tkachuk or Keller.
