I'm hearing rumblings that the Oilers have made a trade offer to Chicago. Two names rumored are Jake McCabe and Connor Murphy.

See so many rumours, saw Oilers have a trade in place and they're waiting on Yamamoto to come off LTIR. Not sure on the team.

The strongest 1 ive heard is Lafferty from Chi fro 3rd-4th? and also widespread rumours a deal for JP is already in place but waiting for Yam to officially come off LTIR. I presume there's nothing of value coming back for JP unless he's part of a bigger package but I think the optics of trading JP for zilch in order to bring Yam back into the team is kinda hilarious in my sick sense of humour kind of way

Also moving Puljujarvi for a pick is not for nothing, you would get his salary cap relief and possibly a pick you could use at the trade deadline.

I dont mind going on record as saying i think JP brings way more to the table than Yam and that Yam's contract is more of an anchor than JP's because its for another year, but that's not how the EDM media see it and they are ones pushing with all their might JP out the door? I also think out of the 2, GM's would be way more likely to take a flyer on JP than Yam but that's just me?, As recently as 2 weeks ago, so called ex-pro scout and reporter Jason Bakula (mtl)?? said that the oil would have to add a 1st to JP just to get rid of him?? Dont get me wrong, I think this is insane and if KH ever did that he should be fired instantly, and over TikTok as well as he wouldn't deserve the respect of a phone call! So TBH Toley, I have absolutely no idea what JP is worth on the open market as even the so-called expert opinions vary considerably?? However, if Seravalli and Stouffer have any real inside knowledge, according to them, we are about to find out as on Feb 12th when Yam officially comes off LTIR, JP's trade will be announced?

Holland wouldn't be a good Gm if he listens to Edmonton media, and it's not the Media pushing him out, it's both sides understanding they probably need a change. The media just takes and runs with it, whatever they can. I've seen Florida, St. Louis, Tampa Bay are all interested in Puljujarvi, and how many game has Pat Verbeek from the Duck scouted this year? There is interest, adding a first rounder to the deal would just mean, the piece back might be better(term, cheaper, etc.)

If Holland is even thinking about this I might have to switch teams. If they left out Bourgoult on this proposal I wouldn't hate it tbh, but there's still the idea sharks would have to retain about $3-4M in cap and as everyone and his dog is saying, why would SJ do that for the next 4 yrs

My issue here is a few things. 1. They obviously are way too focused on Offenes and it shows in their goal differential. They score a lot but do not put up very many more goals then they give up when on the ice. 2. Is it not KH’s job to build this team and not the players. If the players start deciding who they want on the team we might as well forget ever winning a cup. I really am not keen on this move. I do not think Karlson is the right player at this point in time. Very expensive even with money retained which I think is going to further handcuff this team big time. I really don’t think the difference between him and Barrie is that big of a difference. We need someone who can stop the cycle and make life a whole lot tougher to be at our end of the ice then it has been most of this season. Montreal was running circles around us all game.

Yeah giving away the farm to pick up an overpriced, injury prone, 32 year old defenseman with 4 years left on his contract doesn't seem like the wisest move. The guy hasn't made it past 56 games in half a decade and we are banking all that on him doing it this year?
This would literally be the definition of putting all your eggs in one basket and if you lose that basket you starve.
