what's the + you would be willing to give up?

what are your thoughts on klein from nsh?

- deks1

That's a tough one. Honestly, I think I go as far as offering Gagner and Klefbom for Hjalmarsson and a pick (I'd hope it'd be a first). This way, we're trading Gagner who, in this scenario, is someone we want to get rid of and Klefbom for essentially what Klefbom will likely become in the future and a pick to recoup the loss of Klefbom.

Chicago is a tough team to come up with trades for as they only really lack one thing (legit 2C) and trading anything else runs the risk of throwing off what is one of the most balanced teams in the league.

Klein is solid. He's a 3/4 guy on this team, but is likely better suited to playing a 4/5 role. Thinks Smid, but more well-rounded and cheaper... and a RHD.

You would consider moving Hjalmarsson in a deal for Gagner+?
- MaximumBone


That would be a good deal for EDM

The Oilers also missing an experienced NHL Coach AND GM. So, doing forwards next or Tenders?

That Hjalmarsson scenario is exactly what Iggy is talking about...

We want to work up from Gagner, they want to work up to Nuge.

No one wants to deal a solid piece to the oilers and not get one of Nuge, Hall or Eberle in return.

Even if we were shopping Yakupov, you'd better believe it'd be a process of getting other people to settle for not taking Eberle or the 2014 1st.

Seriously though.....Muzzin would be a solid add, I wish the Flames would try to get him as well.

Not like MacT has been horrid. I'd really like to know what an experienced GM would've done.

No Henrik Sedin? No Tortorella? It's games like these where the Oilers just seem to find ways to lose. 5-2 Canucks

Canucks can't score 5, even against the Oilers, 3 without our best offensive player would be a nice surprise.

This.

I keep reading experienced coach and gm.

Mact hasnt even had the job for a year. What moves wouldve an experienced guy have made?

Same for coaching. It's just another easy answer. No coach would do much with this squad. Inexperience is a small part of it.
Boudreau was 20 games above .500 his fist season as an nhl coach.
Guy boucher went to game 7 of the eastern finals.
Carlyle won a cup in his second year snd western finals his first.
