It’s OEL not Chris pronger LOL
What about 27 yrs old nick prebix right shot 6"4 206 lbs d man plays top 4 minutes on nashville 2.75 mil cap hit this and next year. He is playing 19 mins and 22 seconds And 6"6 230 lbs Micheal Mccarron right shot center , 54 % on the dot, pk, more defensive and makes edmonton harder to play against.. if nashville are out of the wild card running. 2.75 mil + 900 K = 3.65 mil cap hit. Mangipane is 3.6 mil cap hit. Would need more to add.
Pagnotta mentioned edmonton looking for more defensive players.
Add size more defensive and can play pk and makes edmonton harder to play against.
Hyman Mcdavid roslovic
pods Drasi Kapanen
Federic rnh savoie – Bob Stauffer suggested this line after the break.
Henrieque McCarron lazar – reliable defensive line.
They have 2 right shot center (McCarron and lazar) to take d zone draws on their strong side. They can you henrique, drasi , rnh and mcdavid on their strong side for d zone draws.
Extra fwd: Janmark
Ekholm Bouchard
Walman Prebix
Nurse emberson
Stastney
PK duos
Henrique McCarron
Rnh Savie
Lazar Kapanen
Eklolm Prebix
Nurse emberson
Walman Bouchard – reduce some of bouchard mins on the pk.
Who is your source at MLSE, that even states that OEL is on the market ?
Source?
No one was stated as a source, therefore your just pulling carrots out your butts.. here..
Waste of other peoples time watching carrotfest.
No source =- wasting my time.
So what is in the water of these people proposing these trade proposals? Layoff the Krazy Kool aid sheesh 🙄😒. So more jack & bean stalk poor asset management moves? Right? A young prospect for a old defenseman who is trending downward how much more do we have to give the laffs for this once in a lifetime bargain basement deal. I think that I'm actually stupider for even listening to this shite. Edmonton Old Timers SMH 😢
Lol the Ike Howard that was penciled in on the 2nd line to start the season?
OEL too old exactly
Hahahaha leafs propaganda coming in hot to maximize prices
OEL trade while turning 35 is not a comparable trade to Brandon Carlo at 28..
Damn, OEL since bought out from Canucks, he won Stanley Cup, got a nice contract, Olympic team for Sweden and can now play for a contender- and still being paid by Canucks
Stupid. Gonna be another Duncan Keith
if they did this I would burn my jersey
Bowman should be FIRED if he trades Ike Howard for a 34 yr old defenceman….
S tier. elite level goaltender is needed. who in the last 20 years has won a cup without the goalie playing at world class level.
Why would we trade for OEL if we want our D better?
In no reality is OEL going to cost Howard. Give your head a shake
Might as well…….this management group has made so many stupid trades, let’s keep doing them.
How good is OEL really? Is he better than Ekholm rn? I haven’t watched him play in years
I can promise that oilers will not be moving any top prospects for OEL that is a horrible take and OEL has bad blood with most the oil just wouldn’t work
Howard is to small, not a top notch player , move him
Ewww don’t fucking do it he’s awful. Don’t give the leafs a pick Mang and 3rd or 4th gtfoh
Please no. But that is something stupid the oilers brass would do.
Trading Howard for OLE?.that happens and I’m done with the oil!
Why the Oilers get a guy or should get a guy thats in his 30s they need to fix the right dman and a bottom six center thats it amd if they get a guy in the 30s make it worth the trade
Trade Howard and we’ll end up with another Miro Satan situation.
Oil don't need 35 year old OEL…Not getting a top 6 forward so stop dreaming ….Whitecloud on right side solid D for 2.75 with cup cred and got 2 assist against Oil last game……I would trade Mangiapane for Foegele back for some speed n PK and Get McD off PK ffs…Or Kane retained back for another round of FAFO in playoffs.
NO
An aging defender for Ike? Better throw in a pick. 3rd rounder. Howard will play for another 15 years or so. OEL has Championship pedigree unfortunately he signed with the Leafs.
I clicked the video just to respond to the title….. No….. There ya go, that's my asnwer.
Savoie is worth it…. Savoie is to Offensive to be a PKer and thats all hes ever going to get in Edmonton…theres just no room for him and hes ready to play full time right now…. Howard as a sniper first is an Organizational need for the Oilers and will be fulltime next year ….Savoie didnt cut that role because the Oilers are just to deep offensively so he turned into a PKer …… Savoie is a high pedigree ready to play NHLer now hes not green bananas.
OEL is a left shot, we already have ekholm, nurse, stastney and walman
An OEL deal feels a lot like the Jack Campbell deal. That was awful! Don't make that mistake again.
OEL at one point, when he was with Vancouver, considered to be overrated
Nobody is going to point out they are interviewing an extra from Scarface?
Hard pass
Ummm NO
Ole when o. Coyotes yes but got old
You gotta be kidding me right Hahaha ? Howard should bring you in McCann… Not OEL oilers need someone that hits… We don't need Fredrick typa players …
If OEL was 28 years old and a RHD then let's talk. You're not giving up your best prospect for a 34 year old to add to the other 4 LHD you already have.
🤮
Nelson signed an extension with the Avs? I get it was in the summer, but everyone knew he was staying. 😊
