Still MIGHTY Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 You're THAT bad and you can't even get the #1 pick.I'm sorry Buffalo (You want next year's #1 anyways, right?) | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG89 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Oilers have to do SOMETHING. If Ekblad is gone, trade down for a solid d-man. But you can't have the young talent they have and waste another year struggling.Nurse and Ekblad would look superb side-by-side on the blue line.

kevsim1 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yeah, that about sums up what the Sabres are doing. Are we expecting the Isles to be giving Buffalo the 5th this year? And There`s Florida`s redemption from last year`s draft...except this aint no MacKinnon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need the publicity. Edmonton could look into getting Yandle from Phoenix for their third, but he doesn't solve their dearth of stay-at-home defensemen. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Who are some good, established stay-at-home defensemen who might be on the market? I don't think Brent Seabrook will be, to the chagrin of his growing legion of detractors. I wanted to see Jason Garrison wind up with the Oil, but he landed a bit to the west. Zbynek Michalek is getting a little old. Francois Beauchemin? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG89 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Dan Boyle is a UFA after this year, although at the conclusion of his career, his veteran leadership and defensive presence would greatly benefit them. Brooks Orpik is also a UFA. He'd certainly look good in blue and orange. Looking ahead to next season and possible trade possiblities, Marc Staal is the first name that comes to my mind. They'd be able to handle his cap hit for that season, at just under 4 million, but moving forward I'd assume he'd ask for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Maybe Orpik, maybe Marc Staal, I don't really know. I hope to the hockey gods we get Ekblad. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Don't know how much you'd consider him a stay-at-home defenseman, but once he's healthy, I can only assume the Bruins will be looking to deal Adam McQuaid. With the emergence of Kevan Miller, there just isn't any room left for him on the Boston blueline. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

Kramerica Industries Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 He is not. Staal isn't slated to hit free agency until after next season.Here is a list of free agent D's. Obviously, some of these guys (Timonen) are likely to retire and others (Markov?) likely aren't leaving their current teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'd be happy with Niskanen. Put him with Ference and you've got a shutdown pair. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 You want a solid stay at home defenseman that will elevate his partners? Willie Mitchell. He made both Doughty and Voynov better players and they will both admit that. I don't see him leaving the Kings, but if anyone could take him from the Kings, that would be a huge loss. He's a joy to watch play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twi Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'd be happy with Niskanen. Put him with Ference and you've got a shutdown pair.That's not a shutdown pair at all, unless you're talking of shutting down Edmonton being competitive. That's a middling at best second pair.Have to feel for the Sabres, with how much separation they had from the rest of the pack it was clear they were the worst team this season. Hopefully this latets batch of young players are the ones that make the Panthers competitive regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm honestly not too beat up about the Sabres picking second. If this were next year, it would be a different story, but I feel like the top two or three this year are pretty close to each other. We desperately need offense, but if we get Ekblad, we should have a pretty killer defense corps in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorinK92 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Interesting, (for me anyways.) Knowing how things in Ottawa go, if this does happen, Stewart'll be either a MacArthur or Cheechoo kind of addition to the Sens.Miss you too, Tim. I strongly believe that the trade Tim's alluding to is for Chris Stewart, who was linked to Ottawa all year, and who Buffalo acquired in the Ryan Miller deal for the apparent purpose to flip him for something else. Around the same time, Rochester native Shane Prince was disgruntled and was rumoured to want to go to Buffalo. We'll see what happens down the line.
