But the Oilers definitely didn't turn Yakupov from a star into a bust, by their own doing. Edited January 14, 2019 by Thorny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think we're all missing the larger point: we need Botterill to trade with Chiarelli. It's almost impossible to lose! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, assuming they're all in on making the playoffs, I can't imagine they move RNH for anything I'd be interested in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I worry Puljujarvi has been ruined by the Oilers or was never that great to begin with. After all, he was linemates with Laine and Aho for the WJC. He also isn’t the fleetest of foot but if the price is low enough I’d throw them lower end asset for his recovery process 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Nugent Hopkins would be a good add for us, but the Oilers are wanting to add good forwards, not subtract them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want all the others teams best players with term on their deals. Get ready to lose Reinhart, Risto, Mittlestadt, Olofsson, Nylander, Guhle and any other player worth a damn in this organ-eye-zation. 44 minutes ago, Scottysabres said: The Curse of the 80's Dynasty is alive and real.

There was not one GM that should have had better Intel on Jesse than him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted January 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Per Insider Trading, the Penguins are looking to move Derek Brassard, he is not a fit there per Dreger and they would like a 3rd Line Center in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) georgie_con @thegcducksfan · Jan 14, 2019 Replying to @ElliottTeaford In your gut, do you feel that BM will continue to shake things up amongst the roster? Elliott Teaford @ElliottTeaford GMBM said he wants to sign Silfverberg and keep him from becoming an unrestricted free agent. Sounds like that's his next move. I think that's a sound idea. As far as trades, I think everyone is fair game at this point. Getzlaf, Perry, Kesler would be tough to move, though. Rickard Rakell, if it is true that everyone is fair game, I would put a package together for the Ducks. Looks like were getting three 1st rd picks this draft.

Thorny Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Hoss said: A lot of hockey trades going on right now. Something I think Botterill really needs to get involved with. I’ve seen some interesting suggestions on Twitter - one of the most interesting being Ristolainen for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. I’m not sure either team does that but it’s an interesting thought. If Ristolainen was a left shot I'd probably make this trade.
