Erik karlson6/17/2023 Parayko can replace Ceci’s skill sets more effectively, too. Ceci has two more years on his contract, whereas Barrie has just one. To take on Parayko, Oilers management should insist on the Blues taking Ceci over Barrie. That’s to say nothing of a $6.5 million AAV cap hit for seven more years. He turns 30 in May and has been in decline for the past couple of seasons. Albert product come home, I’d be very hesitant to acquire Parayko. Nugent-Bowman: As much as it would be nice to have a St. Louis receives: Tyson Barrie OR Cody Ceci, Kailer Yamamoto OR Jesse Puljujarvi, 2023 first-round pick, 2024 second-round pick Barrie’s inclusion is intriguing only because if they do trade Chychrun and Shayne Gostisbehere, then Barrie can run the power play this year and then next year, on an expiring contract, he can be somebody else’s rental. ![]() Puljujarvi has limited to little value currently and Savoie probably projects as a high-end minor leaguer. They want the equivalent of three first-rounders for Chychrun, and you have that here with the two first-round picks, plus Bourgault. It’s hard to see how this gets done.Įric Duhatschek, NHL writer: Arizona might do this. I disagree with the assessment, but the Oilers aren’t exactly smitten by Chychrun either. Nugent-Bowman: It doesn’t sound like Arizona is too keen to take on money in the form of unwarranted contracts. The ask might be less than proposed here. Bjugstad is having a terrific season, healthy and consistent, with his low cap hit driving deadline interest. Mobile, effective at both ends of the ice and can play big minutes in all game states. Mitchell: Chychrun is quality, an immediate second-pairing upgrade. Jakob Chychrun (Derek Cain / Getty Images) Edmonton receives: Jakob Chychrun, Nick Bjugstad Arizona receives: Tyson Barrie, Jesse Puljujarvi, Xavier Bourgault, Carter Savoie, 2023 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick In the words of Izzy Mandelbaum, “It’s go time.” Two first-round picks aren’t nothing, but they should essentially be second-rounders if the Oilers meet expectations. Schaefer projects to be a useful middle-six player, but not a star. Nugent-Bowman: The Oilers should do this. Edmonton receives: Erik Karlsson ($6.9 million cap hit) San Jose receives: Tyson Barrie, Jesse Puljujarvi, Reid Schaefer, 2023 first-round pick, 2025 first-round pick (*$4.6 million per year or 40 percent retention on Karlsson’s contract) My question would be with the Arizona part … two second-round picks are great, but no team has ever done four years as a salary retention middle man before ($8 million total, for that matter). And doing it in advance of the deadline would help San Jose try to flip Barrie for another draft pick. It’s a small price to pay to get Karlsson.Ĭorey Masisak, Sharks writer: I think if this deal was on the table for the Sharks, they’d be ready to do it today. It’s possible the Sharks target Evan Bouchard in the deal, making things more difficult for Edmonton.ĭaniel Nugent-Bowman : The Oilers wouldn’t be picking until the third round for the next two drafts. The price is steep but the return is worth the cost. ![]() ![]() He could be key to Edmonton’s first Stanley Cup since 1990. That’s a given.īig-name blueliners Edmonton receives: Erik Karlsson ($7.5 million cap hit) San Jose receives: Tyson Barrie, Jesse Puljujarvi, 2023 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick (*$2.5 million retention per year on Karlsson’s contract) Arizona receives: 2023 second-round pick and 2024 second-round pick from Edmonton (*$2 million retention per year on Karlsson’s contract)Īllan Mitchell : Karlsson is the best available target at the deadline for Edmonton. The Oilers should definitely win the Stanley Cup after making a few of these deals, right? Of course.
