"- Let's talk about teams that need to move salary. Would the Flyers part with Jakub Voracek or Wayne Simmonds?"

Unless one of the super kids is coming back don't hold your breath
- Girouxsalem90

Ya pretty much zero chance either one of those two guys move with the seasons they had least year

"Let's talk about teams that need to move salary. Would the Flyers part with Jakub Voracek or Wayne Simmonds?"



ummmmmmmm, NO

Am I the only one who thinks trading away the Oils first rounder next year is a ridiculous idea considering they ain't making the playoffs and McDavid is eligible?
- BigDre

McDavid is 2 years away.

OK well Shultz isnt a prospect either. He's same age as Myers and played a full season
- sbroads24

WTF? Schultz has a half a season, which was classified as his rookie year and Myers has been in the league since 09 and has 256gp. Yeah they are the same age so same thing I guess.

don't know how that's laughable. Nurse+Klefbom are better than Risto+Zadorov.
- TheNugeIsHuge

They are about equal...then you forgot the rest of myy list which is MUCH better then the oilers d prospects .

never included him
- TheNugeIsHuge

Different scouting sites had Ristolainen ranked higher than Nurse, and a few places actually had Zadarov going top 5. To say already Nurse is better than either is premature.

Umm, vanek is better then ryan...vanek has never played with getzlaf and perry. Ryan got a top 6 young prospect, good prospect AND a first rounder... Vanek will get as much or more.
- Djtyczy

Ryan's also younger, signed to a lower cap hit for longer term

hmmm. Hall had a better PPG than Vanek this year, was 9th in league scoring but is worth much less than Vanek who's 7 years older signed to over 7M and has one year til UFA.

you guys are geniuses
- TheNugeIsHuge

Ive said many times not hall, hall is a step above the rest...

Who said same thing? The conversation started as who has better young defensemen

- sbroads24

I can say with complete certainty that Nurse>Zadorov, n I was talking about the combo of Nurse+Klefbom.
Klefbom>Nurse

I know who the Oilers D prospects are. I am not a homer by any means, my team blows. However the Sabres are stacked along the blueline as far as prospects
- sbroads24

And so are the Oilers. They have been ranked higher than Buffalo for prospect depth and it is becasue of their number of quality Defencemen.

So it is fair to say that Edm stacks up quite well against your Sabres in this regard.

Holy (frank) dude are you ever in for a massive letdown....

Ok fair enough

Ryan's also younger, signed to a lower cap hit for longer term
- TheNugeIsHuge

Okay...vanek has scored 40 goals multiple times, none of which he had perry and getzlaf on his line...

hasn't scored 40 since '09

- sbroads24

No. you just took offense I guess to someone saying that they feel very confidant when comparing the Oil defensive prospects again the Sabres.

- sbroads24

haha what?

Ive said many times not hall, hall is a step above the rest...
- Djtyczy

I wouldn't trade one of Yak, Ebs, Hall, RNH, Schultz for anybody on BUF anyway. I would for Myers if he returned to form. But not right now.

Oh poop they woke the red dragon

Klefbom>Nurse
- TheNugeIsHuge

Not that I disagree but why are you so certain? Fact it we got 2 guys that were ranked as top 10 prospects in a very talented draft.

Holy (frank) dude are you ever in for a massive letdown....
- Iggysbff

Lol, you think hemsky is better then vanek right? And oilers will never win a playoff round with the goaltending situation in edmonton.

why would any team give up a low 20s YO franchise cornerstone forward for a 29YO with a year left on his contract?

ask yourselves that, seriously

- sbroads24

I think Risto will be a stud and is equal to nurse right now. I think Zadorov was great pick but is a step below them

haha what?
