If the habs have a top 7 pick and Edmonton is top 3

Oilers - 1st round pick

Habs - 1st round pick, 2nd round pick, Emelin. Possibly Juulsen if the second rounder isn't enough.

Wouldn't make much sense for Edmonton IMO.

How so? They get a top four D, only move down a couple spots to draft another D, and could possibly get another higher prospect D.

You think Edmonton wants Emelin? No obviously not. He's no better than Ferrance.

He's a lot better than Ference. Anyway... ya.. I don't see why Edmonton would do this... and maybe they would rather trade that pick away? Maybe that would get em someone like a Shattenkirk. ? Or something on that line.. the top 3 will be able to get them IMO. A pretty good return that can help them now.... I've always liked Emelin , for his physical play, but I know he is not the answer in Edmonton.

Emelin isn't better than Ferrance? Hahahhahaha. And clearly you guys are missing the fact of a top seven pick going back. So you guys think something like Laine for Chychrun, Emelin and Jullsen is crazy? Lol.

I. think. Edmonton. would. accept. because. they. could. draft. a. defender.

Ok. So who is going to be any kind of a physical presence on the Habs? And don't ya think if Edmonton is going to trade the 3rd , its for help now. Jullsen is a few year away, jus hope he isn't the next David Wilkie. Emelin isn't the guy , he's a 4 or5 physical dman.. maybe a package with Islanders for Haminoc and others. And I never said I wouldn't do it. But Edmonton isn't gonna.. and ya.. I still think Emelin is better than Ference.. 6 or 7 years ago.. different story

not enough to jump into the top 3.

Matthews/ puljjarvi/ tcachuk for a much lesser prospect a third pair defensman and an ok pick. Future stud. No way edm does it.

No one is saying value is bad. But a top 3 pick could land a defense that can help Edmonton now which is what they need.

11.) 29 Jan 2016

The top seven is stacked in the draft. And Laine is a head of Tkachuk btw. So the difference between 7 and 3, or 6 and 2 isn't much. Chychrun and Juolevi future top pairing guys, Emelin is a sold second pairing guy and Juulsen will eventually be a second or top. This completely revamps their D going forward. I'm not saying this is believable but it's definitely fair.

Still terrible I'd go for OEL.

If Oilers pick is 3-5, they can likely get Jakob Chychrun. Even tho Oilers need immediate help, doing that makes more sense than dropping in the draft order to get Emelin. No way is Emelin worth dropping in the draft order for.

Alternatively -- and what makes more sense for Edm -- using the pick and maybe other picks/ players/ prospects to try and get a top-2 D from another team.

14.) 29 Jan 2016
29 Jan 2016 03:59:08
So Chirp, you'd take Chychrun over Juolevi, Emelin and Juulsen? Lol.

15.) 29 Jan 2016
29 Jan 2016 04:52:39
I would, yeah. Chychrun looks like a top-2 D. Joulevi could be, but he's much less of a lock IMO. So if you pass up Chychrun and make this trade, you have 3 bottom-4 dmen instead. Oilers have enough bottom-4 dmen as it is, they don't need more of them. It's the wrong move for the Oilers.

Strait up deal with Edmonton.

To Edmonton PK Subban
To Montreal: 1st round pick and 1 forward TBD

Then,

If Byfuglien is available July 1st, Montreal signs him 4 years 28 million.

Juolevi actually might be better than Chychrun after seeing him at the world juniors, so I don't agree with you.

Nurse - Klefbom
Juolevi - Emelin
Sekera - Juulsen/ Davidson looks better than

Klefbom - Chychrun
Sekera - Nurse
Davidson -?

Oh, ok, good, we'll lay the Oilers future on your opinion of a couple games at a tournament.

Seriously? No one else seems to agree with you but sure, that's just super duper. Thanks for your "insight" (? )

As for your question mark in the Oilers 2nd lineup there: yeah, I'm sure without making that trade there would be absolute panic resonating through the streets of edmonton. "We didn't make a 3-for-1 trade for prospects! How will we ever fill a bottom-2 dman position?! " 😩

I'd rather have the second lineup. Big time.
Quality over quantity.

Well I'd take a solid six which would be better short term and just as good long term than the solid four that's only long term. But that's just me lol.

20.) 29 Jan 2016
29 Jan 2016 18:19:37
Also if they have the second pick it could be them trading down and taking Chychrun.
