I mean seriously how many years will it take the owners to see the team just can't make it??? They get a good two way winger,a goalie,prospects and whatever picks. Then cap room to fix the D. Imagine the return if the Oilers trade one of them............. Lindholm got 5 pieces and he could still be just a rental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are looking at $15 million per most likely. And then McDavid will want even more than him. So I highly doubt that Edmonton will be able to afford both of them. And that's it. So far they have the two,a couple good players with them rest are like 4th line fillers at best. Can't win a cup with that. Best thing would be a big trade and the Rangers are always looking for that one big name,same with other teams so will be an easy sell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) 17 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: The Sedins are all class. McBaby and Draisaitl are the biggest whiners in the NHL. They can’t even do a proper interview with the media without whining and attitude, so how exactly do you expect them to teach younger players about professionalism and everything else that goes with winning? Never once heard JP had an issue with professionalism, rather the Coil botched his development and he's got no confidence and can't use his skill-set at the NHL level because of it. But if that's in fact what the issue is then yeah, Sid is one of the most professional athletes in pro sports from what I've read/seen.

Ballisticsports Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 1 hour ago, bh90 said: This McDavid is extremely talented... Gretzky/Lemiuex tier But he is not a leader... at least not yet. Edmonton could really benefit by bringing in some character guys in the room with a voice... but the problem is IMO is that McDavids voice is too loud now I'm not sure how effective anyone would be in coming into that room and setting the tone. Draisaitl and McDavid don't seem like easy guys to talk too out there. It wouldn't happen but I can see a trade between Oilers and Penguins that could held both teams out Oilers get Crosby to lead/teach/help McD know what it takes to win the big prize Pens get Drais and a younger star They can decide whatever other components to add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it's not a bad signing, but it's going to be up to him to prove his worth; otherwise, this signing just ends up being "meh". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal_thecup Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 On 2/4/2024 at 1:49 PM, Miss Korea said: Jesse Puljujärvi is actually a pretty effective bottom six player who would've definitely been signed in the summer had he not gotten double hip surgery. He has a very high work ethic along with the hockey IQ. The only thing he really, really lacks.... is hands. He can't seem to dish assists or score goals to save himself, although he's done well in Wilkes-Barre. Any comparisons to Virtanen are unfounded. Puljujärvi works hard and makes his teammates better. But right now Pittsburgh needs goals and I'm not sure he provides that. Also, he looks lean and fit in the photo provided; no more sloppy 'baby fat'. It's a pretty low risk gamble really for a big talented guy who may finally be ready to put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At worst, he's a defensive winger who can use his speed and size to draw some penalties, putting the Pens on their legendary power play. At best, he can move up the lineup and help make a positive impact, whether he scores or not. He makes other players better and that's a crucial asset to have.

His positioning has always been praised but his ability to pass and shoot are awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
