Neither of those things make me feel great about this season.

It's relative.

Demers is definitely the best FA RD available and Pulju was easily the best possible outcome of the draft for the Oil (without Laine/Matthews falling or some pipe dream trade that clearly wasn't on the table).

To put it another way, I'd be feeling worse about the team currently if they weren't pursuing any big name FAs and had just drafted Dubois.

Switch one of maroon/lucic/poo to right wing. (preferably lucic)
as they're all lefties it's gotta become somewhat doable. In that scenario, we can look at moving ebs instead of hall.

Hall/Leon/lucic
Maroon/mcd/yaks
Poo/nuge/puljujarvi


Love that beast first line. And I like the 3rd too

Or I guess we could make poo and yaks as a package work too


Hall/Leon/ebs
Lucic/mcd/?
Maroon/ nuge/ puljujarvi

Very true, also PC's job would likely be on the line if he keeps the team the same and they still suck. Guy has to do something, just hope he gets fair value with whatever he has planned

On paper it really is

That first group is pretty sick. And we even lost eberle

I'd love to see lucic bully with hall, while puju is sheltered alongside nuge/poo


The addition of puljujarvi going forward is pretty massive for us I think


But I was sure to say 'On paper' cause of course until they prove they're a dominant group, the oilers are still a bottom feeding franchise for a long long time

I was saying yesterday I'm more excited about puljujarvi then any of our other top picks (minus McDavid). Can't wait

Flames fans just worried about Lucic, Maroon and Kassian slaughtering little Jenny for the next few years. Payback female doges!

Kind of a shame Hemsky wont be there to relish in the payback - and too bad it wasn't on Phaneuf and Regehr... Late but better than never...

Unbelievable forwards!!!!

Oh wait...and Nurse!

What is fair value! I've read some of the thoughts here! Varying degree of fair value.

Klefbom > Hamilton



Plus- wouldn't that roster imply we got demers and traded ebs for a defender ?


Obvious Troll or not, up your game bruh

Its probably somewhere in between the biggest oilers homers opinions and your opinion

And who is eberle going to net you?

- K-man25

Dunno, hopefully a solid defender . There's a few names I've heard that he's relatively comparable value with give or take.

Or maybe nuge garners that return

Or maybe the price is too high




Is this you actually trying ??...yawn

Everyone values their own players/prospects in higher regard. It's only natural, but if the Oil sign Demers, who else is Chiapet focusing on?

I don't think it's any less natural for rivals or haters to undervalue them


If you're implying that your opinion on eberles value somehow has more validity than a rational oiler fans does..... Yeah, certainly not


I dunno. I guess it's the same names we've heard. Shattenkirk, dumba and a few others perhaps.
Or maybe someone we haven't heard at all which is also entirely plausible. Maybe even more likely.


Ebs has s season of 76 at 21 years old- and had averaged 65pts/82 gp for half a decade. That's like 5th in rw scoring over that span. He's Got some warts, but he's certainly got some value.nuge even moreso despite accomplishing less

Could definitely see Dumba, he would be a good fit. Don't think shattie is a real possibility. Also think nuge could net you Ellis from Nashville

Shats probably doesn't wanna go to edm.
But nuge + something minor for an extended shats is absolutely relative value.
Ebs + abit more I'd assume

Dumba + simething relatively significant from minny perhaps for nuge.
Ebs would be close to even value I'd think

Ellis is good. Dunno that he has the ceiling they'd like. But maybe

I would love Ryan Ellis. His contract IMO is one of the best in the league.

Yeah. Everything about him seems pretty good save his size. Which isn't s huge issue. (By the eye abit- no so much by the numbers)

I think I tend to underestimate him
