Let it burn
Looking at the shit offers for Domi in the trade forum is so much fun! Will this franchise ever be anything more than dreadful at developing talent?
I think I have to stop going on trade board. It's gotten worse which I didn't think was possible.
I suppose it's possible it's just made up, see the Stepan example.
But aside from that, to the people saying things along the lines of "oh this team is bad everyone is available for the right price etc etc".
We're not talking about a 25-26 year old a year or two away from being a UFA. Smart teams that value building a locker room culture don't just let certain names float around as available. Keller is not "available". Fischer, Perlini, Chychrun, Dvorak. Are their names floating around? No. Max is only one year past that group. Barring some circumstance like a trade demand, you SHUT DOWN discussions of players in this age group. It's just good business. It's a failing on Chayka's part that this is out there.

Was Treliving a bad GM when Hamilton was "available "? I think we are over reacting to an unsubstantiated report that hasn't been confirmed by any other more respected hockey insider.
I'm partially to blame as I've been Texty LaRue (new nickname?) today on roster ideas.
I made a comment when I put my list together for Keller draft. I had Keller at 8 with a comment about how (with Domi already in the system)could two small playmaking wingers coexist in the top 6 of a team. On that basis I didn't think it was a great "fit"and was all in on Logan Brown.
I see the logic on a Domi move if we are upgrading on the wings with our first pick. That logically makes sense to me. I don't have Domi as an untouchable though. Seems that some of you do. I also lied Horvat better his draft year but I was alone on an island on that one on this board.

It was most definitely a mistake. Dunno about this bad GM stuff, didn't say that. A mistake the GM in Calgary with an actual infrastructure and culture can afford once in awhile on the off chance he brings in more value. It's not a mistake the Coyotes, who are trying to build something from nothing, can afford. There is no return Domi will bring that will equal his upside from a pure value standpoint either so the justification for even discussing the subject is fruitless. Shut it down.
Chayka has said numerous times that OEL is absolutely not available. No chance of a trade. All we hear from media is different. Even when you "shut it down" the media makes up stuff anyways. It's an unsubstantiated report that means nothing.
I'd trade Domi without hesitation IF the offer is good (obviously should not be selling low after a season like this). To me Domi is clearly at the bottom in the "top 4 winger depth chart for now and future" with Keller, Perlini and Fischer above him, and therefore expendable. But then again I'm not a fan of the player and think people here are vastly overrating his upside. The key would be to find a GM who thinks that too.
Canucks fans were offering Virtanen. I said Pettersson (cause Horvat and Boeser arent available). They didnt like it.
I used to think the Yandle trade offers were a whole new realm of idiocy. Then I checked the Domi thread.

I mean it's probably total bogus, anyone can make anything up these days and everybody immediately believes it. Domi's been shit, but so has everyone else. Nobody is excelling playing Tocchet's system-less pond hockey. Imagine trading away our young assets in a futile attempt to find sticky players for sticky Tocchet.

Yeah but the current Oilers management has a history of dumb trades and signings.
The worst move our current GM has made is he traded a guy who’s scored 5 points in 9 games since for a guy who scored 4 points in 9 games while his team played their best hockey of the season immediately after before suffering a post all star break letdown. Hawks have fallen from a playoff position to a lottery pick.
Perhaps the Oilers can draft another small soft forward to improve things.

Pettersson is untouchable same with Horvat and Boeser. What about Ben Hutton? He's currently the odd man out on the Canucks defence. Could use a change of scenery.
