@Oil_Drop Probably not.

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@LoganODaddy Do you think either would actually sign with ducks?

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@JeffVeillette Why was the offer sheet signed?

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@chrispronger Anaheim should match. This Carlson is really good player and those are the most difficult to acquire. The argument against it is you always want efficient contracts but I think it is less important in this case. Mid to low tier players is where you need contract efficiency....

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@JasonGregor my initial thought was that anaheim must match, but now having second thoughts...

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@chrispronger This is similar to Broberg/Holloway offer sheet from STL. To me, it means Hayton probably already unhappy in UTAH and strong arming his way out. Also, NJD probably tried to trade for him without success?

@Oil_Drop Last time he was sent to minors, he bounced back and was performing at a high level. A kick in the rear end is all he needs. No way to guarantee how he will react.

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@JFreshHockey Me thinks there is a bit of Glen Sather influence with Grier. Helping his former team 2 times now (taking Ceci and now Nurse )…

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@Shady80KW @FriedgeHNIC Of course, NJD do not plan to trade the player, but will probably extend them in January. This is very clever move as they essentially sign the player as a RFA for a higher amount but not have to pay high compensation (draft picks)

@NHL_Watcher It’s not a EA Sports video game roster where you just add up overall ratings. Trading Nurse wasn't about losing an individual piece; it was about transforming a single, highly inefficient roster spot into three or four efficient ones.

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@JonathanWillis maybe you send Jarry down to bakersfield (I don't think any team will claim him)

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@JoshYohe_PGH … they get value from Florida (or whatever team Larkin is targeting). Van is ok with this because they are in tank mode?

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@JoshYohe_PGH I read that NHL wants to solve this NMC issue in the future. How about they allow teams to trade a player for assets to another team that is ok to suspend that player with pay? For example: Det trade Larkin to Van for Peterson, then Van lets Larkin stay at home until …

@AlanPatrick448 @Doonz_2017 @bcurlock I remember this, someone joked it was a very “oiler” move

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@TopTierPucks You know, there is no team in the NHL that will trade for Nurse without getting a significant sweetener.

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@BleedOilBlue For Nurse and Jarry?

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@ryanpmcarthur From what I understand, NCAA will kinda be like a semi-pro league. Like the very elite players can benefit. But if you are an NHL team that has lots of prospects, would they be allowed to use NCAA as way to develop players better? Like if they have too many goalies ?

@nielsonTSN1260 Penalty kill must improve. Oilers will need to kill a few penalties if they plan to play physical

[Paul Yip @pty142]

@dstaples I think there is resentment on his 2nd contract where there was a rumour that he insisted he was just as good as Matthews and wouldn’t take a discount at all.
