Proposal: Detroit-Edmonton

[mindfly]

Kyle Quincey


Magnus Pääjärvi


Edmonton needs further help on the D, Detroit needs scoring support and Pääjärvi might find a change in scenery the best in his career.

Edmonton will never bite on that, unfortunately...

Why not?
Objectively speaking, isn't the deal fair?

According to Red Wing fans, Quincey's been blowing chunks since Detroit re-acquired him.

Why would Edmonton pay such a high price for a struggling Quincey?

He was the best D last game, every D goes through funks, he had a great season in L.A and in Colorado, struggeled from time to time...Edmonton needs all the D they can get, Pääjärvi has potential but doesn't appear to ever succeed in Edmonton. Pääjärvi is struggeling too..So it's two struggeling players in a deal.

Paajarvi will probably never put up a lot of points in the NHL, though he can actually be a pretty decent playmaker. But I still think the Oilers believe he can be a useful NHL'er as more of a defensive specialist who can play up and down the line-up.

Right now the Oilers seem pretty set with their top two pairings of

Smid Petry
Schultz Schultz

The biggest question mark is in their 3rd pairing which at this point is likely to be

Fistric Whitney

for most of the year barring injuries. That pairing is servicable right now so I don't think their is any urgency to give up a guy like Paajarvi who could prove to be a very useful piece at a managable price for a short term boost in the depth on the back end.

[I Am Score*]

A fair trade would likely be Pa for Brunner and a guy like Colaiaicovo.

[Zetterberg4Captain]

how about just quincey to Edmonton for a promise to hire some Detroit residents in the oil sands?

[zeus3007]

No need in Edmonton for Quincey. At all.

Well, MPV isn't lighting it up in Edmonton. He is nothing more than a spare part getting devalued with every healthy scratch. I think that is a fair deal.

[Go Wings]

Detroit and Edmonton don't make good trading partners at this point. They both need defense.

[WeridAl]

Magnus Pääjärvi is off the table, but I understand the Wings are interested in Omark.

[HabsProspectsExpert]

Anyway Detroit wont do that because they desperatly need defenseman, not the opposite

No we don't...

[Kaen]

Edmonton has a lot of defense already with

Smid-Petry
Schultz-Schultz
Fistric-Whitney

Quincey isn't enough of an upgrade on any of them to be worth trading Paajarvi.

oilers top 6

Schultz
Schultz
Petry
Whitney
Smid

6a and 6b-- Potter and fistric

Does quincey play top 4 minutes? MPS at 21 could still turn the corner and turn onto a top 6 fw

Also Quincey had this year plus one year left and then UFA

Despite what some people believe--oilers have enough D-men around and are not as hard up as some would like to believe

in 3 years the oilers D- could look like]

Schultz
Petry
Smid (he is 26 and is the oilers do not resign him the oiler faithful may lynch tambo)


Fistric as a 5,6,7 guy

and in the system

Klefbom
Musil
Martin Marincin
Colten Teubert(I have hope)


Oilers have time to see what MPS can do before they dump him

[Joey Moss]

Edmonton would not do it. Whitney for Quincey and a pick and I'd do that though.

How is that different from MPS again?

Paajarvi has been one of our better forwards 5on5.

Edit: swapping struggling players could work for both clubs.. Something around Whitney for Quincey .. picks\prsopects to even it out

[Guru Meditation]

if Holland traded for Omark, Babcock would glare the glaringest glare he's ever glared. He would be seriously pissed at another soft forward.

[titsuple]

maybe

Paajarvi & omark

for

Abdelkader & Samuelsson
