To be very honest and pragmatic, Nuge is too good to be a 3C and he also gets paid too much to be a 3C (especially on this current Oilers payroll). EDM is not getting rid of McD or Drai so it's inevitable. He is also playing perhaps the best hockey of his career right now so it is the most opportune time to trade him....buuuuut...

I think it is understandable to worry about the return Chiarelli can/will get for him right now.

Galchenyuk and maybe Jordie Benn or something. De La Rose could come cheap right about now too, might as well throw him in there.

It has to be Galchenyuk though, I think he'd thrive in EDM. I'd hate to see Nuge go but adding Gally and then trying to fill the 3C spot with a legit 3C....could be interesting.

There are teams desperate for a good Center and Nuge is one...so you set your price, put it out there...and don't budge, not a bit.

This insane and disfunctional fanbase in MTL is talking about trading Price again too...so I would at least inquire about Price for RNH (and more on each side etc.)

Lol....you and Reveen are at best a couple of preliminary bums...everybody on every thread knows Iggy and I are the undisputed champions. You wimps never venture outta the Oilers and Tanner threads. Cowards.

Its Peter Chiarelli, wienerhead, he won't have to budge because anyteam who wants him can have him for either a washed up has been or draft bust.

You want no part of that Price contract. With the McDavid and Draisaitl contracts how the hell do you ice a competitive rest of the team? Price needs to prove he can return to MVP for for those kinds of dollars.

It's true...McD, Drai, and Pricer at those contracts....the rest of the team would be me and you and our kids!

My bad, the contract wouldn't work at all in EDM...I'm just very tired of hearing Habs fans blame Price...AGAIN!

My response to Habs fans in MTL has been "I can't believe I'm saying this again, but call me in 2yrs and tell me what you think of Carey Price"

😂😂😂

No, just no.


There is no reasonable argument to be made to trade our 2nd best forward at present having a career year and carrying our 2nd line.
Nor is management even considering it at present.
We’d be so super fuked without him right now.
Laughably stupid idea

As far as price. We don’t need another goalie. Especially one at his price point.
We got a good one. Again, not even a consideration

Sources say montreal very close to making a deal in next 24-48 hours? Just need to figure some things out?

...I'm assuming the thing they're trying to figure out is where in the heck there going to get some talent to trade to land a great centre...because as of right now its certainly not in the organization! Go Yotes!!

Rino, you've got to be coming around a little lol. He's settling in and starting to drive play. Honestly, I don't think that spezza would upgrade much over Riley at his age.

That said, having Spezza and Sheahan as 3 and 4 C's would definitely be an upgrade over what we started the season with.
