While part of me doesn't want to give up on Ras, another part of me really wanted Bouchard last year before Zadina fell to us. Its the 2nd round pick this year, that makes me a little hesitant. I hate to give up high picks when rebuilding even if it is from SJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AA is a 30 goal scorer and Bouchard is an unknown at the NHL level. However, just imagine AA on McDavid's line, good Lord. I don't think offense will be an issue going forward. We have Larkin, Mantha, Bertuzzi, Veleno, Zadina, and whoever we pick 6th overall again this year (we won't be getting Byram). That should be a solid top 6. Also, having defensemen that can push offense like Hronek, Cholowski and Bouchard should be a solid top 3... I like Athanasiou, but I don't see him as a full-time center, and top 3 defensemen >>> top 6 wingers. 1 The 91 of Ryans reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holland. Definitely Holland. 7 hours ago, krsmith17 said: To EDM: Andreas Athanasiou To DET: Evan Bouchard Who says no? Both parties. There are a number of AA-tier wingers that Holland could acquire without giving up his top D prospect, e.g. Panarin, Pirri, the aformentioned Kapanen. On Yzerman's end, AA's trade value is probably at an all-time high right now and Bouchard is totally unproven at the NHL level. Do you trade a guy who just scored 30 goals for a defenseman who's played zero NHL games? Also, there's a decent chance AA becomes a monster on McDavid's or Draisaitl's wing, which means there's a decent chance the narrative becomes "Yzerman gets punk'd by the guy he pushed out of Detroit." So I'm thinking there'd at least have to be some conditions attached to the trade, e.g. "If Athanasio scores 30 goals and the Oilers make the 2020 playoffs, the Wings receive their 2020 1st." Playing around with packages might lead to something. Maybe Holland indentifies Green as a guy who could really help bolster their blue line in anticipation of a deep playoff run.

Maybe throw in a pick to offset the risk, but I wouldn't even need that to pull the trigger. I was advocating hard to go after Shea Theodore a few years ago, and I see Bouchard becoming a similar (maybe even better) defenseman as Theodore. Would you trade Athanasiou straight up for Theodore? I would, without thinking twice. And I'd do the same for Bouchard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would you want to trade for Lucic? The only way I'm taking that albatross contract is if Holland eats half his cap hit. Even then, he'd have to throw in a pick and / or prospect. 35 minutes ago, LeftWinger said: Trade 2: to TPA 2019 2nd round pick (#35 overall) to DET (Salary Dump) Ryan Callahan, 2019 1st round pick #27 overall. I'm all for taking on Callahan's contract, but not just to move up 8 spots in the draft. Make that the Islander's 2nd round pick instead of ours, and it would be a good trade for both sides. 38 minutes ago, LeftWinger said: Trade 3: to CAR Evgeny Svechnikov to DET 2019 2nd round pick (Carolina's) I wouldn't hate this trade, but also wouldn't mind seeing what Svech can do in training camp / preseason before shipping him out. 40 minutes ago, LeftWinger said: UFA's Erik Karlsson 5 years, $11M AAV Pavel Datsyuk 1 year $4M re-sign Witkowski. 2 yrs $750,000 AAV You know how I feel about the Karlsson signing.

I really doubt Holland would tho. The Oilers do desperately need a player who fits AA's profile, but I think Holland has a lot of options that don't involve trading Bouchard. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
