last thread hit a 1000 awhile ago
Points of discussion
1) Eberle what is his value
2) Who to protect and who not to protect
3)Leon D's next contract
4) What to do with our D
1) I think the Oiler HF consensus of a players value is actually lower than it is in actuality. If we move him expect a decent something in return.
2) Isn't that done and dusted? Chiarelli already said 7-3-1... Poo, Kharia, Reinhart, and LB the most likely to be taken, minus if Vegas signs Russel preceding the expansion draft.
3) Probably less than most think. Somewhere in the 6 to 7.5 range. Don't think he will make more than guys like Ekblad and Taresenko.
4)Can't even speculate until after the expansion draft and if what Chiarelli says is true not even until after July 1st/when McDavid and Leon are signed. If able to, signing Russel and another experienced but low risk/low pay replacement for Sekera is likely.
I don't see a right shooting top 4 defender with a low cap hit that we can get without giving up more than anyone wants. Hall for Larsson IMO was a steal for us in hindsight but I imagine a trade/results of that magnitude would not be able to be duplicated.
