Eh, with a limited NTC also involved, the NMC just stops waivers and being demoted. It's really no big deal because I can't see his game becoming so bad they want to send him to the AHL.

Even if he were an AHL-calibre defenseman the Oil would need significantly more blueline depth to justify demoting him. Outside of their top three it's all AHL talent.

Some Oilers fans have been going on about how signing Russell to that hilarious contract means that they've already tied up Draisaitl and McDavids new deals based on previous Chia statements. The fact that he's come out with this statement really casts doubt upon that notion now

Same, except I was thinking 14. Either he's a liar, or he's gonna be in serious cap hell. :D

Chayka-mate.

There's really some uncertainty with that team, but it looks like he's been told to start winning by ownership. I really, really wish Chayka came down with a 7 year x 10 million dollar contract for Draisaitl. Having the Oil tie up 22-24 million on two players would be... fun?

Draisaitl to me probably isn't worth that money.

Cochrane
return is a 2nd in 2020 and Dylan Ferguson, who Dallas just drafted in the 7th round on Saturday.

The price is bizarre. I don't get trade value anymore.

Well, actually I take that partly back. McPhee is just a moron. Almost all of his moves have me scratching my head. Methot just got a return that likely won't have an impact until 2022-23 at the earliest. For a legit top pairing shutdown D. For the same return a rental Ron Hainsey got.

Either the NTC really handicapped him, or as I said, he's just an idiot.

Wait, didn't Vegas take him because they couldn't come to an agreement over a concession that Ottawa would have to pay, in time? Did Ottawa really offer less than this for a top-pairing D?

Also how does this trade happen when Ryan Reaves fetches a 1st, not three days ago :laugh:
