@ahops1916 Just depends what’s available as he fills a role for cheap and also will be in and out of the lineup. Before the playoffs I had him in the PB
@ShawnNeedsTweet Around what I’d also say I would like an upgrade over Kapanen I’d keep him but maybe slide Freddy out but you also aren’t going to be able to move him probably so idk but I’d rather two big guys in the top 6, although Kapanen is a big player with Draisaitl for some reason.
This is where the Oil need to start this offseason:
Trade - Nurse / Jarry / Janmark - maybe Frederic...
Fire - KK & Mark Stuart
Add - Top6 Winger / Top4 D / No1 Goalie & 1B
@ChrisBr47827058@Oil_Drop Frederic and Walman aren’t going anywhere. Janmark is defs gone. And I think nurse too. Sadly I expect Jarry to get another run next year
@ShawnNeedsTweet@Oil_Drop Although I would like to see them move on from Nurse, throwing good money at bad money can be even more detrimental. Everyone wants them to trade Nurse, Jarry, Janmark, Fredrick and Walman, but the cost to move most/all of them would likely set this team back a decade
My #Oilers summer
UFAs - RE-SIGN
Dickinson
Kapanen
Murphy
Jones
Lazar
RFAs – RE-SIGN
Dach
Statsney
UFAs – LET GO
Roslovic
Henrique
Ingram
BIG ISSUES
Frederic - needs a reset
Nurse - time to have a chat
Jarry - needs be moved
COACH
Is there a better option? Cassidy
@Stevenbradleyb@KevinMcCurdy Jones was not good. Him and nurse have very similar TOI and points. Jones gets PP1 and that was the difference. Both are not good players
@lagging3k@Oil_Drop need to clear the space and upgrade. There were multple goalies that were on waiver last year at the start of the season that are league min and would provide more upside then Jarry. Dipietro came first to mind for me.
@ShawnNeedsTweet@Oil_Drop If you trade Jarry now, it will look a lot like the Eberle > Strome > Spooner trade tree. Trading for Jarry was a mistake. Trading him away right now would be another.
@ShawnNeedsTweet@Oil_Drop I think it would be dumb to move Jarry at this point. They clearly saw enough in him a mere few months ago to move real assets for him and it would cost them as much or more to move him now. He looked fine before he got hurt. They should give him a bit more runway.
@oilers49er@KevinMcCurdy@corprice12 Some good scouting too though:
Podz
Savoie
Dach
Hutson
Marjala
Samanski
Leppanen
Cibulka ??
Also expect them to make some more European or KHL free agents with the lack of draft capital
@KevinMcCurdy@corprice12@ShawnNeedsTweet A lot of these same old same old "hockey guys" need to find a new planet.
Pro scouts have been horrible and no I don't need calculator guys only.
But dear god we need people who understand todays game.
@lagging3k@Oil_Drop Nurse and Jarry i expect gone. Nurse is clearly on the outs and the media available last night with 97 29 93 and 14 shows thats started and Jarry on the bench in two elimnatin games is telling.
@ShawnNeedsTweet@Oil_Drop I don’t see any way they manage to trade away all of these players without it costing them an inconceivable amount. I think you try to move Nurse and hope the rest rebound with a new coaching staff.
@fulton_quinn2 depends if they get a top 6 winger or not. if they do hyman isnt young anymore and slowing down would be great to have savoie and new top 6 winger with 97
@alykhan_n@KevinMcCurdy Issue is Murphy is free and the oil dont have alot of assest to trade. and they need to use those assest to trade for a No1 goalie or legit top 6 winger
@KevinMcCurdy@ShawnNeedsTweet I’m not sure Murphy is worth the money honestly. I’d rather go get a guy like Parayko. We have some good offensive prospects but not great defensive ones. I’d take parayko at 6.5 over Murphy at 4. Walman needs to wake up.
Walman-Bouch
Ek-Parayko
Statsney-Emberson
Regula
@BrodyN43621@KevinMcCurdy I believe he'll have a chance to earn a spot but nothing will be given and the amount of Cap Space I would expect them to aim higher then banking on a rookie to be a full time player in 26-27 season.
This is close to what I have, post coming about it sometime this week. I think 4.9 is rich for Murph, and I think you see Ekholm down on the second pairing after this year. If you can keep Walman healthy, bump him to the top pairing and then you need a cheap 3RD and that's in better shape.
@RiggleyTV Nurse trades with $2.5M retained, Jarry traded with $2.0M retained & Janmark traded - of only picks come back for exmaple that roster would have $16.5M to spend to fill holes
@KevinMcCurdy All for less for Murphy. I think it'll be below $5M but could see him wanting a small rasie from his current $4.4M. And anything 3 years or less is the goal with him.
I dont mind a 96-2 and a 14-5 pairings, offence and shut down pairs
@Stevenbradleyb@KevinMcCurdy Seth Jones was trade, 100% Nurse will be traded with $2.5M retained at min. Jarry will also have to retain $2.0 min but worth it. Frederic liekly stuck with and he is just a 4th Line Winger
