Zombieksa Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I also feel better about this trade when I think about how disheartened I was at the trade deadline last year and seeing players I had wanted us to acquire going for mid round picks at reasonable cap hits. We are much better positioned this year with a reasonable pool of cap space and with an additional pick to trade. Who says we don't land a decent player for our run with this pick come February? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club has different needs and different depth issues. He's got a chance of making the Oilers because of thier abysmal depth and cap constraints 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 How many Russians do we have left? Pod, Mik, Kuz, Zads... I had high hope for all 4, feels like a minute ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happened a couple months ago, the headline would be that we traded a 1st round 22yo potential powerforward for a 4th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edm can walk from Holloway now. At the end of the day it might be better for us if they let Holloway go and keep broberg who might poop the bed under all that pressure. Could turn out great for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fen1010 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 43 minutes ago, HKSR said: Then why trade him at all? Just let him play in Abby. No difference unless we think a 4th round pick has that much value. He would have had to clear waivers this time? So instead of losing him for nothing try to get a little something back. He has no role with the big club. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely from what I can see. Podz was likely to be going down to Abbotsford unless he really impressed at camp. More opportunities for him in Edmonton. This move I think could be a way to free up space for a player like Soderstrom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its the fact that many are proclaiming that this is going to turn out bad as if they have a crystal ball. Its fine to express concern that if Podz suddenly got faster, meaner and found his hands this could be bad, bit like, its a could, a maybe, a possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophomore Jinx Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 For everyone who is freaking out at the return, do you actually believe the FO didn't do their due diligence, and actually search for the best return they could get??? The market spoke, and the 4th round pick was the best return that the whole league offered. It's not as if PA/JR took the first phone call and said "A 4th Stanley B.? Let's do it" 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
