Should have traded the McDavid pick for Montoya. Talbot is nice but this team needs a generational goalie.

I guess Montoya made Talbot expendable for the Rangers.
He made Lundquist expendable but no one wanted that large contact. So they moved Talbot.Dang, how could we have missed that? You're right.

We are one good winger away from having a near perfect forward core IMO.
Hall-McDavid-Yakupov
Pouliot-RNH-Eberle
???-Lander-Draisaitl
Hendricks-Letestu-Korpikoski
I don't think Chiarelli keeps Purcell on this team. He goes against everything this team is supposed to be. If we can package Purcell, a prospect, and a nice pick for a good skilled grinder, I would be elated.
A few players I'd love on that line: Hartnell, Ladd, Tatar

When are we going to give a serious look at Oesterle? He looks pretty close to NHL ready to me.
This is purely hypothetical...
Having a debate with a fellow Ontarian Oilers fan (not easy to find)
In the event that Edmonton trolls the NHL again and wins the 2016 draft lottery, do you trade the pick for a #1 D, or draft Matthews and trade Nuge.
Argument for Keeping RNH: More experienced, you know what you have with him, and he has growing chemistry with the core of the team. Plus if Matthews is still as hyped then as he is now, the return for him may be greater.
Argument for Keeping Matthews: McDavid, Matthews, Draisaitl while young, has the same makeup of the young trio of centers that won a cup in Pittsburgh. Matthews makes the team bigger down the middle too.

If we finish in a position to select 1st overall again, it means the core of Hall-RNH-Eberle is a failure.
So in that case I would trade away RNH and probably consider trading Hall too. Completely rebuild around a different core.
Won't happen though. We're not getting Mathews and if the NHL has any sense they'll rig that draft for Arizona, lol.

I can't fathom who would want purcell.
But I'd rather see pitlick or pakarinen in his spot. Slepy should have it by next year.
