Reaves out. Have space for Kessel at 50%.
Need Bozak.Good point about the C depth rt.
Dvorak
Schmaltz
Larsson
Hayton
Jenik
Farinacci
Even if 1 of the 3 kids proves he's ready then we still have 0 injury replacements without disturbing the development of the other 2 kids.
Are we sure that Beagle will be on IR? Would be great if he could chip in.
Kessel and Korenar for Koskinen and Samorukov or Konovalov.Looking at the numbers, the most passable 'bad' goalie that makes sense is still Koskinen. Oilers can LTIR Klefbom but they would still like more space. They may also like Kessel. Oilers already have Stalock and plenty of #3 goalies and would love to be rid of that $4.5m cap hit.
It's just a matter of Ken Holland actually working up the courage to trade an asset to do so.
Look what Hyman did with that opportunity. It's not impossible to imagine Bunting cashing in by playing for less and going to the net.What a dummie. He will never be a big money player, so go where the money is, but looking at our team I guess his chances of success would be a lot less than in TO. Phoenix could be like Edmonton or Winnipeg where no one wants to go and play. The time has come that either we start winning and act like a high level organization or keep on having a tough time getting good talent.
Then get Konovalov with Koskinen?I’d much rather go for Georgiev. 25 years old, hungry for a starting job and no team in the league can offer him more starts next season. Plus, he just might be good, which would give us something to actually maybe look forward to during games rather than wondering how bad koskinen will be. Part of rebuilding is the “building” part, and Georgiev could potentially be part of that, as his prime years would match up with our timeline
It's a sad state of affairs if you need a 35 yo center to be your #1 or #2 center. What about Marcus Johansson? I really don't see Beagle playing. Is anyone worth their salt available in a trade? Every year it's the same problem. I guess next year the problem will be solved.Need Bozak.
Obviously Wright is an absolute franchise-changer.... but there are so many absolute studs in this draft. Drafting in the Top 10 ensures a top tier prospect with a high ceiling.Watch this team wind up making the playoffs lol.
I wouldn't mind it. I imagine we're gonna have 8-9 picks in the first two rounds next year when it's all said and done. Wright or no Wright, let's just make sure we hit on the picks that we do make.
That's getting somewhat respectable.1. Kessel (50%) for Kerfoot(26)
2. NYI ‘22 2nd for Georgiev(25)
3. 3yrs 13mil to Ryan Murray(27)
4. 3yrs 11mil to Nick Ritchie(25)
Call it an off-season.
Ritchie-Dvorak-Keller
Dzingel-Schmaltz-Jaskin
Crouse-Kerfoot-Eriksson
Roussel-Larsson-Fischer
Ladd
Chychrun-Stralman
Murray-Timmins
Ghost-Lyubushkin
Georgiev
Hutton
Part of rebuilding is the “building”
Morgan has mentioned in several of his most recent articles, as well as his last podcast.Where did we hear Kessel has requested a trade?
Part of rebuilding is “building” couldn’t agree more. Amazes me to read some of the implied ignorance of those “wanting” to be bad. I can only hope it’s implied, or I’ll lose even more faith in the intellect of this forum.I’d much rather go for Georgiev. 25 years old, hungry for a starting job and no team in the league can offer him more starts next season. Plus, he just might be good, which would give us something to actually maybe look forward to during games rather than wondering how bad koskinen will be.

Indeed, we’ve already shown we can screw up on the best of picks. Let’s excel with what line up we have and make good on the pics we have.Watch this team wind up making the playoffs lol.

That was the idea.That's getting somewhat respectable.
After one year of evaluation Shanahan was Leader of group who retained for 7 years to get rid of Kessel.If memory serves, Shanahan didn’t want Kessel in Toronto. Doubt that has changed.
MoJo doesn’t actually play much center. Pretty much full-time winger. Bozak isn’t ideal but BA seems to like 1yr deals.It's a sad state of affairs if you need a 35 yo center to be your #1 or #2 center. What about Marcus Johansson? I really don't see Beagle playing.
