I listed the talent already that was in place in BOS. What makes you think Chia would be able to make the Oilers a playoffs team without that talent? (franchise Dman, franchise goalie, #1C and #2C)
My only concern is that he has no attachment to guys like Hall, Eberle, Draisaitl and Yakupov and might consider them expendables like he did with Boyes, Kessel and Seguin. With MacT we atleast know that these players are safe.
He would fit better in a team like the Leafs who have no "untouchables" and are starting a rebuild.
I would give MacT this offseason to improve on the core before giving up on both him and this core.
Oh no, better not trade one of our valuable assets. Better to watch this team flounder in the toilet until Hall, Eberle, and Nuge's contracts expire and they bolt out of here as fast as they can. This team isn't going to be even remotely competitive until those contracts expire with Dumb and Dumber at the helm.
