There was an Athletic article with Keith Gretzky that came out today. Job #1 for him at the TDL is freeing up cap space, job #2 is make trades that make sense now and going forward.

He said he hopes to be a buyer *snort* but even if buying no interest in rentals.

Sorry Edmonton fans.

He's saying he'll do everything that the fanbase wants him to do. Let's see how this turns out.

Give ya 5 pennies for a nickel

Come on two fer one deal

Keith Gretzky is going to get the reputation of a snake oil salesman around the league trying to unload Chiaturd's train wreck.

how can management eff up so many high draft picks

 

[780il]

Petrovic is UFA this summer - he'll fetch a mid pick as injury insurance for a serious contender

Manning on the other hand.....

 

[Empoleon8771]

I'm shocked I say!

Although I am a little surprised they can't find any takers for Petrovic, I thought he'd be a relatively easy sell. Pending UFA, not horrible, RD, just traded for a 3rd rounder...you'd at least think you can move him.

This isn't a rumor, this is a fact, just like it's a fact Lucic is available ,as is Russell, Sekera and all other bad players because of course they are

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

Anyone want dead weight?

 

[Limekiller]

Dead Weight on the Oilers? So basically, anyone other than McDavid, Draisaitl, RNH, and Nurse?

 

[Lion Hound]

What is the current value of Lucic with .25% retained plus Edmonton's 1st 2019(lotto protected)

chia gutted the team. what a stupid moron.

The only definitively effed up pick was Yakupov and most of the forwards taken top ten suck.

Everyone and their grandma would have taken Puljujarvi at 4. Did we screw up his development - yes. But that’s not the same as effing the pick up.

 

[Howie Hodge]

Doug Weight?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

GM's aren't interested in the Oilers trash? You don't say..

It's just funny Chia went out of his way to acquire other teams trash in the first place

Nothing, its not available. Oilers are stuck with Lucic till after July 1st 2020.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Klefbom?

Klefbom, Larsson.

Russell is hardly dead weight.

Kassian and Benning are paid too much but have value. Talbot might have value to a contender.

We’ve been trying to move Spooner/Petrovic/Manning since Chia did Chia things.

It might also just be that they’re trying to get a 3rd back and teams are only offering late picks.

This isn't a rumor, this is a fact, just like it's a fact Lucic is available ,as is Russell, Sekera and all other bad players because of course they are

I highly doubt Russell is available in the same way as the others. He’s been worth every penny of his contract. But ya, point still stands

What team near the cap isn't trying t move dead weight? Chia pet really screwed Oilers sadly.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Chiarelli was perhaps the worst GM of all time. Honorable mention to Milbury.

Poor Keith. He’s got nothing to work with. Lucic, Sekera, Russell, Spooner, Manning. Good luck moving them. Petrovic, Benning, Kassian, you might get a late pick for.

 

[Satan]

good luck
