Oshie and...
1Oshie and #56 to New Jersey for Eric Gelinas and #36 ....Devils get a RW that they need We get a young RFA left shooting bomber, who can work on the power play as well. Would ya??? Would they???
I don't think that deal would interest me, but Oshie will be going somewhere.Turk Sanderson wrote:Oshie and #56 to New Jersey for Eric Gelinas and #36 ....Devils get a RW that they need We get a young RFA left shooting bomber, who can work on the power play as well. Would ya??? Would they???
True, and near as I can see, we didn't miss him.39hurricane wrote:We said the same about Perron.
Agreed Oshie alone won't get us a center, but Oshie + could. I think you can get a top 6 center without trading Petro or Shatty. I would definitely see if Pitt would bite for Petro, Oshie and Rattie in exchange for Malkin, but I don't think that would be enough. Who really knows though? It is all speculation at this point.ratonmono wrote:I think we're going to be disappointed in what Oshie actually returns. No one is trading a top center for him and lateral moves for another winger will most likely just yield a similar player. Unfortunately Oshie alone isn't going to get this team what it needs to get over the hump. I'm thinking more and more than Petro or Shatty is going to have to go in order to get the Blues what they need.
I think Oshie+Elliott+Dman or D Prospect to Edmonton would land RNHratonmono wrote:I think we're going to be disappointed in what Oshie actually returns.

Considering Edmonton's needs I think that's a fair deal. They need defensively responsible Top 6 players. They need goaltending. They need D. They don't need more skill forwards.SickMittsRomKnee wrote:I think Oshie+Elliott+Dman or D Prospect to Edmonton would land RNHratonmono wrote:I think we're going to be disappointed in what Oshie actually returns.

I doubt that. The Oilers are not moving RNH unless that d-man you're talking is Shattenkirk. This is why I'm suggesting we're going to be disappointed in what Oshie can actually return.SickMittsRomKnee wrote:I think Oshie+Elliott+Dman or D Prospect to Edmonton would land RNHratonmono wrote:I think we're going to be disappointed in what Oshie actually returns.

Would Gunner and #36 get you down to 16?Tfriede2 wrote:I would, but only if we could trade Gunnarsson for a 2nd round pick or a similar prospect. Otherwise, there's no purpose to the trade. Lindbohm has earned his spot, IMO.
Edit: I actually don't know enough about Gelinas to say yes or no. Is he any better than Gunnarsson? If not, then I don't see the point to the trade. One Devils fan said that Gelinas was a train wreck in the d-zone last year. It seems like Oshie has more value than this.
