Gagner is also a small centre, who doesn't put up significant points even though he has played with some young guns on the Oilers.
Glad you used Myers shortened by injury season to better your numbers.
Lets look at the two full seasons Myers played:
11G's, 37A's, 48P's vs 15G's, 26A's, 41P's
10G's, 27A's, 37P's vs 15G's, 27A's, 42P's
Myers numbers on left...VERY comparable...One plays defence, the other 2nd line centre...

How small is he anyways?

That is anybody in the league...

Myers at 5.5M is amazing.. admit it.. you know the inflation in contracts these days are astronomical.

Have you seen me argue anything here.

I personally hate the long term deals like that but the dollar value is slightly high now but underpaid 2 years from now.

Can't wait for Tinordi to be up here and doing what Myers does. A Tinordi-Subban duo is gong to be huge for us.

I don't think people have noticed the miracle Ek has done. He has Leaf and Sabre fans united against Edmonton.

It's not analogous because Myers is a 6'8" young, top pairing D who, baring injury, will be a norris candidate... Gagner is a 2nd line center... we have like 3 of those... we are not targeting Gagner.
- UBBob713

So which two of Weber, Karlson, Doughty and Pietrangelo do you see Myers beating out to be a Norris trophy Candidate in the next 10 years?

So Ennis and depth players for RNH?
Where does Edmonton sign?????

- stormeyAlterEgo


Pysyk will instantly probably be the best defensive prospect in EDM's system.. Enroth is better than any goalie currently on EDM's roster

Leo was the biggest minute eater on the Sabres last year and probably had more points than all but 1 of the EDM's dmen last year..

then you get Ennis who had 25 points in 25 games to end the season last year.

Kadri can't crack a team that all centermen on can barely crack 50+ pts

seriously? do you think its easier to put up points on the LA Kings with their system or the Oilers and their lack of system
- flashfire


Well, lets see, one team has a defensive system and can get the puck out of their end and the other team doesn't and will spend extended periods of time stuck in their own end.

hmmm, that's a tough one, maybe this question will answer your question, have you watched any games?

Oilers were in the bottom 3rd in the league for goals scored last year.


Keep rambling on your nonsense though.

Gagner will be 23 in 2 days and he has put up 5 straight 40 plus seasons.

Your number 1 center is guy that you hope just stands there?

The only comparable to Gagner on the leafs is Grabovski, 220 pts in 360 gp vs 201pts in 320 gp.

- HuileHab

I would say Bozak is comparable.
Look at stats from last year and tell me otherwise.

135 18 42 60 vs 143 33 56 89

i can do the same thing as well....

Likewise, and RNH plays eerily similar to his style.

Change Pysyk to McNabb then... Shultz and McNabb can be their top pair for 10 years... else it will be Myers/McNabb here in BUF. Ennis is a 2nd line C. Leopold is a 2nd pair D in a contract year. Enroth could compete to be the starter with the depth at G EDM has.

It's a trade that gives 4 roster players to EDM and has them give up 1. RNH will be great, but people over value stars over depth... did anyone watch the Kings win? Not 1 player had a Pt/Gm... Kopitar was closest at 76... next? Williams and Brown at 59 and 56 respectively... all 3 players missed 0 games.

there's like zero data to support your theory
- Oil_Addict

how about the fact that the Oilers were the 29th place team and scored 212 goals? you don't think its easier to score when you don't play a defensive system? Also, the Oilers haven't played a meaningful game in 5 years they have ZERO pressure. Teams contending for playoff spots play low scoring defensive games down the stretch where the Oilers are just looking to have some fun

Oil have no one to put at C...
Leafs have used Bozak and Grabs...Bozak and Kessel seem to have chemistry so why play Kadri 3rd line mins, when he can play in the AHL and get his confidence up?

Probably because he's playing in the AHL and not getting his confidence up.

And you are using a season where Myers was injured.
Good for you.
