Agreed I would be open to trading futures for young assets if available but doubt most are. By this I mean 1st + Yamo + for a Kyle Connor if he is asking to much etc.Just keep the 1st and start developing players. Next year we'll have Bouchard in the lineup which will upgrade the 3rd pairing and PP. Benson will probably be in the bottom six. Get rid of the dead weight this offseason and add a few cheap, bottom six free agents.
I hope Bouchard's offense translates to the NHL because his defense is really bad. Another potential bust imo
No, he doesn't. He had a bad game, but he doesn't have a bad contract. He's on pace for a hundred points. That's definitely worth 8.5 million.
Talbot isn't as strong as he was.
But the cost he had was well worth it.
Yeah, we’re rebuilding again. You’re being awfully optimistic that it’s only going to take 3 years. It’s been 10 already with no end in sight. Fire him now before he trades the first round draft pick and sets us back even further.Meh you can fire Chia but it wont matter. He was able to gut the team of any skill and overpaid way too many players.
This will be your Edmonton Oilers for the Next 3 years
Seems a bit optimistic.Would I be a negative Nancy to guess that we will probably finish 28th in the league overall?
Chia's work on this team.
You'd think with Hitchcock this would be a thing of the past but they look even more disengaged than they did under Todd.
