So instead of being Buyers with alot of cap space come trade deadline.. Oilers are gonna be Sellers.. with alot of cap space.
"We'll sell you our players AND take on some crap salary for you!"
That should get us some good draft picks in return.

I would consider it a win as well especially if his ask is more than we're willing to shell out.
The contract discussions have been mighty quiet and to top it off he's been bumped off of McDavid's wing.

If Chia and Katz are willing to go that route. We'd be fools not to if we are clearly out of it by then.

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
Given Chia's "Negotiation" ability I'd be willing to bet that Maroon is being offered too much.
I bet Chia wants to see what Maroon has without McDavid to either knock down the price (hopefully) or see if he can get anything of value out of him.
I still think at absolute best from a desperate team that Maroon might bring back a 2nd. More likely than not a 3rd.

A 3rd is ridiculous. Name me 20 guys that bring what Maroon brings and can score 15+ goals.

Not sure if rumor or speculation (sounded more like speculation) but Lowetide just mentioned something about bringing Perry Pearn in to fix the powerplay. I just caught the tail end of it but sounded more like wishful thinking.

maroon gets a 1st no question from a playoff team that needs physicality and depth scoring. pure rental cost would get a late 20s pick
Thats the thing. Does Maroon score 15+ goals away from McDavid? Other teams will look at that too. How many teams have a guy like McDavid to put him beside to elevate him to 15+ goals? David Perron, a PROVEN point producer got us Klinkhammer and a 1st.

Sometimes miracles
If things continue as they are going I could see a deal at the deadline of
To NJ: Letestu and Maroon
To EDM: 1st Rd pick, Noesen and Brandon Gignac

Honestly I would be surprised if this team makes the playoffs at this point. Somethings wrong with the team. TM and his coaching staff have failed. If TM is unwilling to fire his assistants, he should go. Chiarelli has failed. He should get a short rope.
Move out players like Maroon, Letestu for picks or younger prospects with a future. Pick up a potential backup if they have a future. Move Gryba out. If you can pick up some cheap wingers or defenders that have potential, do it. Leave Nurse and RNH alone. Leave Klefbom alone.

Well I'm not sure how that would look results-wise. But I am fond of the possibility of Perry Pearn's Pretty Proven Perfect Powerplay.
Shero is a smart GM cant see him trading a 1st for rentals in his teams 1st year of competing.

Maroon isn't resigning here. Its a matter of time until he's traded. At this point it is just what a reasonable return looks like. Not as sure about letestu as he contracts demands won't be as high so he could stay on. Could replace with Malone or we could trade him at deadline and then resign after season.

Rebooting myself
would love to say yes--but if we move him I see a second and mid range prospect coming back

I've got a lot of time for the Big Rig but he never scored more than 12 goals before he met Connor McDavid.
I'm still looking for the pass the puck around for ever and never shoot more than once....
Let's not forget that Chiarelli squandered a key leverage piece from last summer: the Oilers no longer have being potentially a stanley cup contender in their bag of negotiation tricks. You can drive prices down on UFAs and re-signings if you can offer the chance of a championship. Are guys going to consider signing for less now that the Oilers offer no reasonable prospect for success? Doubt it. Prices just went up. Good thing Chiarelli is banking all that cap space . . .
That lack of rumors from legitimate sources have me worried that Chia doesn't even have any irons in the fire and hopes that this team is going to wake up one day and know how to compete again. Either that or if this team has another bad week, he hopes a new coach can turn it around. Hopefully the latter.

There has been quite a few rumours lately that hes been the busiest GM in the league. Honestly at this point, I wonder if no action is better especially with how some of his trades have turned out.
I know it sucks but maybe its better to just let Brossoit and Ellis run with it, at least then he (or future GM) should know what he has moving forward.
