No.Would there be interest in OEL at 50% off? Phoenix needs to move cap and needs young assets, especially with losing their 1st this year.
OEL 50% (4.25 for 6 more years, age 30-36) + Dvorak for 15th overall + Chytil
Miller + Kravstov for Larkin (UFA in 2 years)
Gauthier for Dunn
Strome for 2nd+ (Calgary, Minny, etc.)
Sign Coleman
Laf Zib Buch
Panarin Larkin Coleman
Kreider Dvorak Kakko
Barron Rooney Blackwell
Lindgren Fox
Dunn Trouba
OEL Lundkvist
That team can compete for a cup
Right now, OEL is a 3-4 defenseman with over $50MM still due on his contract. That’s an impossible gamble on a bounce back.
Let someone else roll the dice.
