Without wading through the pages of bile; has someone also mentioned drafting dmen instead of forwards? !
I would be shocked if the Ole dmen conventional wisdom hasn't been spewn by some blockhead poster..

Trading Petry will hurt the team. Just saying.

Agreed.....but we will ultimately have to give to get. I try really hard not to be one of those Jabronis that offer up our garbage and spare parts for another teams gold.

not if he plans on walking as a UFA this summer

Are those his plans? If they are then his value in a trade to Carolina would be much smaller.

Oh yeah apparently if we had Ryan Murray we would have an elite defense.....when he isn't on Injured Reserve anyway.

If he is showing clear indication that he wants to wait to talk extention till after the season, can you take that risk?

Yup, we would have won a couple cups by now if only we had drafted Larson instead of Nuge or Murray instead of Yak.

Giving Eberle is giving. He alone is about worth Estall. But now yes. You must pay if your going to try and get them to eat salary. But if both guys are traded they wouldnt need to eat any salary. It be a wash.

Murray would be even more of a stud if he was an Oiler bc he would be able to stay healthier, Thats my favorite

That is a risk that teams have to make sometimes.

That would eat up too much space for 1 player, IMO.

Of course. I saw the typical 'oiler need this' posts and knew it was coming.
Genius level stuff.

Shoulda taken Larsson instead of nuge!

Didn't we draft nurse and klefbom in the first round??

and look what happened to the Avs letting Stastny walk, you scramble and end up doing bone head moves trying to compensate.

Extend or trade, you have to manage your assets to the bset of your ability now, cant be letting guys walk for nothing

If he were an Oiler, he would be a paraplegic by now.

- hugefemale dog77

Yes. But not 1st overall.

Of course theyre the only team that needs to make a trade. Its all part of the Propaganda. Just sit back listen to what your told. And fallow along.

I ain't no (frank)ing sheep...

Management should have a feeling if the guy wants to stick around. I bet the Av's just wanted to try and convince him to stay.

Did it work?

oh yeah did, but they didnt want to pay UFA prices on him.
So with Petry, either they know and are willing to pay to keep him long term or they have to move on and get the pieces that they can from him.

Chances are he isnt goign to decide during UFA that you know what, I do want to be with the Oilers after 3/4 of the league has thrown ridiculous cash at me.

- poisondhearts37

Yep.

I've even seen some trouba hindsight getting thrown around abit.
As if he was on anyone's radar for first.

Murray's rookie season on ir > yaks leading goals and points

Sometimes you think guys are part of the core. Then realize theyre part of the solution via trade. I think LA thought Jack Johnson was going to be in LA for a long time. But he proved he was going to continue to be a defensive liability.
- poisondhearts37

Those are the tough decisions to be made. Selling high on younger players not deemed to be part of the core and cutting ties with veterans for the same reason.
