I'm pretty sure RNH will be in the top 6 to start...

Kane-McDavid-Hyman
RNH-Draisaitl-Yamamoto
Foegele-McLeod-Puljujarvi
Holloway-Ryan-Shore?

Still some question marks but it's good enough. I like it a whole lot more with Brown but I need to stop crying about this easy trade Holland should have executed so I'll leave it at that.
Yea I still can't get over missing out on Brown, he sure would have looked good with McDavid and Kane.

This is what I was hoping for.

Kane-McDavid-Brown
RNH-Draisaitl-Hyman
Holloway-Mcleod-Yamamoto
Foegele-Ryan-Lazar

For those of you upset about not getting Connor Brown, think about it this way.

If we trade a 2024 2nd for Brown (assume no retention), we have ~$4M left to sign all our RFAs and to fill out 2/3s of a 4th line.

Let's say McLeod comes in at ~$1.5M AAV and Yamamoto comes out at ~$2.5M (and that is being generous). That wipes out all our remaining cap space, which essentially means we HAVE to trade Foegele and/or Barrie to make room for Brown.

Now if Foegele has no value on the trade market, GMs are circling because they know we have to ship out his cap to be compliant. They ask for a sweetener, which Holland clearly doesn't want to give up.

On the other hand, if we trade Barrie, we now have to replace him for a fraction of the price and still fill out a 4th line.

Swung by CP to feast on the misery.

Top thread/most recently posted in thread wasn't the Johnny to Columbus thread. Oh no, it's their Edmonton is no good thread.🤣

Whatever blows their skullets back, I guess.
They're like a jealous little brother or spurned ex over there. We don't even talk about the flames here (except today cause lol) but they're perpetually sour.

Like they have a thread SPECIFICALLY about the Oilers. We don't have a thread about them lol. It's actually pretty hilarious how butt hurt they are about the Oilers and how obsessed they are with us

That's what you call little brother syndrome.
Oh well, now they can continue watching the Oilers destroy their pitiful team for years to come and then go jump on some random teams bandwagon in the playoffs like the shmucks they are.

Not that it would ever happen. But can a player elect to void their contract before it starts then resign another one. Nurse should realize his folly and do us a solid.

I'm hoping we can trade Foegele for a guy who makes ~1 mil (just using Dahlen as an example - I know he's UFA) and then sign someone like Kessel for ~2.5 mil to play with Draisaitl on the 2nd line.

Regarding Dylan Strome, Gregor and Strudwick on today's show were saying how they didn’t think Holland was interested in him because he doesn’t play the style of the team (lots of pace and aggressive)
Then we also had John Shannon saying the other day how there’s no chance on Strome because he doesn’t have the foot speed.

I still think he would do well here. If not, I'd take a chance on Kessel.
