Sometimes miracles
A few different places, the reality is the Garland is coming off a monster year and has arbitrations rights. The Yotes are trying to keep costs down, so they want to move him before they really have to pay him.
I don't doubt it happened. One thing grifters love to do when they get something over on someone like that is brag about it after the fact.
Pocklington already had a history of putting his foot in his mouth, it would have been easy to trap him like that.

But on a serious note, you heard the Seravelli rumours about Kassian, Larsson / Barrie last night, right? That and apparently Pagnotta has us in on Garland. And some whatever on Twitter thinks we have an offer tabled for Koskinen and our 1st for Kessel, a 2nd and 3rd, as long as Cossa doesn’t fall to us at 19
We’ll see

lol people complain that Barrie is not good defensively. Well duh. so why did we get him? So we get offense from the back end. He promptly leads the league in D scoring and helps mcdavid to an all world season.
Meanwhile guys like Larsson (who i like well enough) banks the puck off the wall and plays it safe instead of looking for an outlet pass.
Literally for years this team has screamed for puck movers and offense from the D. We get it and a year later people want 6 chris russels 'they are safe.'

Rebooting myself
Rishaug said this morning Larsson hasn’t decided what to do. To stay or leave. We’ve given him multiple offers that are good. He said Oilers are a strong option still
And Rishaug said Barrie and Edmonton haven’t had a lot of discussion at all. Seravelli is an idiot

We have a high end puck mover with an even better shot ready to make the jump right now. We have nobody like Larsson coming. Samurokov maybe.
I've been saying for months that it takes all sorts of players to win.
Who do you want out there when your down a goal with the clock running out? Who do we roll out on the powerplay to take the lead or bury the opposition?
You bet your ass I want Barrie out there in those situations.

Let's not forget that the media seldom knows what Holland is doing. The RNH deal came out of nowhere.
I truly believe we only knew about Keith because his agent likely leaked it

Larsson, even at the start of this last year, is often as bad as those names. Overall better but for large stretches has been bad.
Paying Larsson big money and term and then seeing the bad Larsson as much as he has been for us is a net negative.
He needs a big paycut or to be far more consistent. I think Gudbranson on a short term cheaper deal could be the better way to go.
Yet you're willing to call another person an idiot because of something Rishaug said when you have no clue which side is correct.

That's a fair point, I just don't believe either when they're talking at all.
It's the old joke "I know they were lying because their lips were moving"

Rishaug was the one to break the RNH contract so I think hes at the top right now.
Stauffer called the protection list so he might know some stuff as well.
Gregor seems to have gotten everything wrong so far so hes bellw literally everyone right now.
