He's pretty bad, I would take Koekkoek over him. Ideally I'd like someone in that spot that has been around the block a few times, not someone with training wheels on.

Would be solid if Holland could somehow nab Tatar
Jimmi McJenkins
Sometimes miracles
That would be excellent, but (atleast from last week) he's still asking for more then the Oilers can give him.
Holland has history with him, maybe he can convince him to sign cheap
I don’t mind this top 9…
Hyman McD Puljujarvi
McLeod Drai yam
Foegele RNH Kass
Or even replace McLeod with Holloway

Honest question why do you people keep spotting RNH at 3C? He’s weak along the boards and under 50% career in face offs. If that line plays against a top pairing it gets caved pretty easily.
With Foegele and Kassian he shouldn’t have to be on the boards, also if he’s weak on the boards then why would he be a winger?
Evander Kane @50% retained for Kassian + Benson
Who says no?
Apparently a bunch of the Sharks don't want Kane back. Would be risky for us, but it's also likely he can click with McDavid or Draisaitl.

I think the guy who's been around the block is already here. Russell is probably going to play a bigger role here next year than we're assuming at the moment.
Clearly what they're looking for now is a guy with some ability to PK that can compliment Bouchard's game on a bottom pairing, likely getting a bit of an offensive push. I've seen what Koekkoek brings to the table and his ability to play in his own end is not the strong part of his game.

Me. Let me clarify that no ####### way!

All I’m saying is he’s not a shutdown guy. He can’t win face offs and when you run a third line properly they have over 50-60% d zone starts. We lose the draw we are already behind the eight 8 ball/

Probably the Oilers ownership. PR nightmare , especially if such a transaction took place before the investigation was complete.
If he agreed to gambling counselling and strict oversight of that I'd probably do it.
If they catch him gambling on NHL games, he won't be eligible for an NHL contract. They'll ban him for life.
I'm assuming the investigation clears. I doubt they can find anything unless he was dumb enough to have a literal paper trail. I also think the NHL kinda doesn't want to know the truth but they'll be on him like a hawk from now on.

If the other team is putting the top pairing against Nuge and not McDrai that bodes well for us.
Who says no? Probably the majority of Oiler players, coaching staff, fanbase, front office, concession workers, janitorial staff, and the owner.
He's a toxic douchbag who has alienated every team he's been a part of

Nah. The dude has a gambling addiction and should seek help before playing another game in this league (if ever).
If he's betting with any kind of legal book, there will be a paper trail.
I'm a blanket no on this man anyway. He's a creep. More than one sexual assault allegation on top of this.

Hard pass on Evander Kane. Guy is a problem everywhere he has been.

So the solution is to call Foegele-Nuge-Kass the 2nd line and McLeod-Drai-Yam the third
He needs to play well to keep his NHL career going though, suspect this last week has him scared stiff. I don't think he will be a problem behavior wise.

He was the best player on the Sharks last year and his team mates still want him gone.
Just no.
Essentially, yes.
In an ideal world a Kris Russell with a bit more size is what I'd be looking to add.
