Dont get too far ahead of yourself. This big old ball seems to be spinning off its axis right now. Probably best to wait until opening night rosters are named.I’ll have to change it lol

And they traded for Perry, then gave him 4M, who else did they think they were bidding against? lol…between that and the whole Kostin not getting qualified thing, it’s been a weird couple days.The funny thing is Chicago wasting money and spots on these old men when they'd have so many interesting options to pick up tomorrow.
They could almost put together their own Vegas/Seattle band of misfits only with a generational player to grow with them.
Gotta side with Mrs on this one. Any veggie can be sautéed or baked but they also can be put fresh/raw in a yummy salad.On another note, who puts raw zuchini in a salad? You're supposed to fry it up with some spices and cheese.
Major suppertime philisophical point of contention between Mrs 5 and I at the dinner table tonight...
Brown isn't going to sign to play on the third-line.Trade Foegele
Kane - McDavid - Hyman
RNH - Draisaitl - Sprong
Holloway - R. McLeod - Brown
Janmark - M. McLeod - Ryan

And you can always flick them off to the side or feed them to the dog, but I know from experience that my dog doesn’t like it.
I ate about half of them just to keep the peace and the dog won’t touch them either.
But those things raw are gross!
Kostin AND Yamo at 1.25 each. BwahahahahahaThat would be some 4D chess if the Oilers signed Kostin
fixedKostin AND Yamo at 1.25 combined. Bwahahahahaha
He posted this before Kostin wasn't offered a QO. Does Spec ever really have the inside scoop on something like this?
Not exactly our M/OI assume he's done, unfortunately, but I mean a flyer on Nolan Patrick? Let him just very slowly recover and see if you might find a player if his health improves.
Foegele isn't being traded. Pretty sure it's Leon who's in his corner and speaking up for him out of the leadership group.Trade Foegele
Kane - McDavid - Hyman
RNH - Draisaitl - Sprong
Holloway - R. McLeod - Brown
Janmark - M. McLeod - Ryan
Gregor not qualified either.
Uncle.Is it wrong that I root against this guy just because of who his cousin is?
Brown played the majority of his career on the 3rd line and it was only on a pretty weak OTT roster that he started getting significant top six minutes. I very much consider Brown to be a 2nd/3rd line tweener, he has a history of being good 5 on 5 which makes it seem possible to play him higher up in the line-up, but on a team with a strong right side he is for sure on the 3rd line.expect a Jack Campbell resurgence
Brown isn't going to sign to play on the third-line.
Out of the entire NHL the Oilers are the team that can offer the exalted RW spot to play with one of McDavid or Draisaitl.
Oilers have to weaponize this and choose the right player.
I don't think posters should get so stuck on Brown, another better option may become available.Brown played the majority of his career on the 3rd line and it was only on a pretty weak OTT roster that he started getting significant top six minutes.

Also I 100% want to run the line Holloway-McLeod-Brown I think Brown would be a great mentor for Holloway and a good guy to get him rolling early, also it eases himself into the line-up after a significant and lengthy injury. If Brown ends up being the best option to play higher up, by all means do so, but I don't think the expectation signing here should be that he is guaranteed a top 6 spot.
From the sounds of it his primary goal is winning a Cup and as long he is part of the puzzle that makes that a reality I think he'll forgive us.
Think the core likes Foegele and doesn't want him moved. Thought I read or heard that somewhere.I really kinda wish now we could move out Foegele so we could bring in Brown, Sprong and Bjudstadt if theyre all willing to do the cheap 1 year...

I wouldn't be shocked by a trade... even two trades.I think it's going to be really hard to do better than Brown with our cap space situation. Brown is in a unique situation where we can offer him bonuses that won't count against our cap this season. We can't really afford to offer anyone else more than $1 million.
McDavid doesn't want Foegele traded.I really kinda wish now we could move out Foegele so we could bring in Brown, Sprong and Bjudstadt if theyre all willing to do the cheap 1 year...
