Speculation: Is Edmonton a contender for both Maroon and Kane this offseason? Can they afford both?

[varano]

The only thing edmonton is in contention for is a complete rebuild

 

[These Are The Days]

It's pretty funny how Edmonton both sucks and is out of cap space.

You are a sick human being lol

 

[leafsfan1234]

Are they planning to buy out Lucic to pay for Kane?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Kane might not gel with Edmonton's mentality

His statement about certain people not getting the whole swagger thing has more to do with performance. HE often struggles and goes 10+ games between goals (when with Atlanta and Peg) and Edmonton has a nasty habit of taking those kind of athletes out behind the tool shed when they have swagger but zero performance at the same time.

I can see Kane going to none tradition market where he is not under the microscope so much

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Lucic, Maroon AND Kane all with rich contracts on the same team would be retahhhhded

Go for it, Edmonton.

It's funny how the Jets have never won a playoff game even though they were gifted a lot of high picks from Atlanta, as well as the picks they have had since they moved to Winnipeg.

Just because they are having a good year this year, doesn't mean you should forget.

Do Oiler fans not realize that McDavid's caphit is going from 1mill to 12.5mill? Plus there's raises to guys like Nurse that will add 4 mill of caphit.

Buying out Lucic doesn't help much, his contract was designed to be buy out proof.

That's why he's going to be an impossible contract to get rid of.

We have lots this year, Chia just decided to save it like some Scrooge. Next season we’re f***ed unless the cap goes to 85 million and Lucic, Sekera and Russel waive their NMC’s....

 

[GirardSpinorama]

cap going up doesn't matter, players salaries go up with the cap.

I do not think the OP is an oiler fan

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

lucic,russel,sekera are making 15.5 million, for at least another 3 years after this year lol.
Edm is so f***ed cap wise.

 

[DearDiary]

He posts on the Oilers boards and participates in their GDT's.

So what makes you think he's not an Oilers fan?

no sane oiler fan would post this idea

Not if players are locked up already ala RNH/McD/Drai

As for the OP.. are the Oilers contenders with Maroon+Eberle?

 

[DearDiary]

I'm not seeing your argument on why he's not an Oilers fan

 

[Brock Radunske]

I'd love if the oilers signed Kane but I suspect since he escaped the Canadian Interior, he won't be looking to go back.

 

[Dan Kelly]

have you done any research on this?

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

As a Flames fan I hope so but I doubt they can afford it or that he would have s ton of interest after his time in Winnipeg.

That top 6 looks pretty poor though so that would be nice.

Self-destructive tendencies are unhealthy and can be a sign of a bigger problem.

Kane is probably staying in San Jose but if he leaves he's sure as hell not going to Edmonton lol.

Our general manager is the most reta*ded individual involved in hockey at any level, be it NHL, major junior, peewee, or Nintendo air hockey. He'd absolutely be stupid enough to do it. Not even a down syndrome monkey would be dumb enough to trade Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson, but here we are...

Yeah but if you look at it as Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson AND Milan Lucic. It's not that bad.


Peter Chiarelli should be fined for being an Islanders/Devils double agent attempting to sabotage the Oilers.

maybe we should

but no i don't believe the Oilers would bring in 2 more LW with a gaping hole on the RW.

I believe it. We have a GM that traded Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson, Mat Barzal+33 for Griffin Reinhart, Jordan Eberle for Ryan Strome, signed Milan Lucic for 6x7 with an NMC, Kris Russell for 4x4 with an NMC, and bought out Benoit Pouliot despite having 8 million in cap space.

^grounds for dismissal right there but he won't be will he?

Naw our president of hockey operations Bob Nicholson is best buddies with Peter Chiarelli since their days on hockey Canada, and would probably trade Leon Draisaitl blaming him for not being Malkin before sacking the worst negotiating GM in the NHL. It's Kevin Lowe/Craig MacTavish all over again, except somehow Chiarelli is a WORSE GM than either of those two.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I think he plays for the Ducks next season.

I can't see it as long as Murray is GM, he doesn't like guys with big egos.
