Wouldn't be the worst thing.
He drafted a handful of guys there that would likely be the best winger on the Oilers.

Its common knowledge that he was just given a secret promotion and a hairpiece.Another Boston player?
Maybe Chia is still pulling the strings?

Those two years and the flexibility of playing wing or center make Drai significantly better I think.

What this team needs is a trade similar to the Max Domi or Dylan Strome trades, sadly they probably missed the bus on both of those options, but Montreal and maybe even Chicago might end up making the playoffs because of that.

They likely could've had either player for Puljujarvi+. They also could've had Hoffman for peanuts but didn't want to give up Strome (who they then gave up for an AHL player 20 games later out of panic).
Just like they say for goalies at some point you have to make a f***ing save ... as a GM at some point you have to win a damn trade.

I very much doubt they could've got either of those guys for Pulju+. Galchenyuk and Schmaltz were semi proven forwards who had 50 point seasons under their belts already. Arizona is trying to gain respectability so they want proven assets not more question marks.

Nope, Buff is too old.
I have time for a player like Dougie Hamilton who's more in the age range of this group though, but it depends on what the ask is. Puljujarvi + Larsson and it's a go.
I doubt they even tried, but even so, Hoffman was just sitting there for the same money they spent on Spooner + Reider, who have a combined 3 goals or something. Bravo Chia.
Lets grab Stone... whatever it takes. Im sick of living in Edmonton ive been here over 10 years now and they have only made the playoffs once? faaaccckkk.
We don't have any players of value with money attached to them (other then RNH) to trade for Stone.. our only real option is to overpay for Stone with cap dumps + futures.
And I don't think we should give up PULJ because I think he breaks out with Stone.
Example:
14 million$ in cap dumps + Yamamoto + Bouchard + 1st 2019 unprotected
for
Stone + Dzingle
and this trade has to happen like TOMMOROW... because we need to make the playoffs!
I don't think Sens take this to be honest.. have to upgrade yamamoto… but id start there.

If you really wanted Stone, Ottawa probably listens to a package of Puljujarvi + EDM 2nd or something, the problem is does he agree to sign here, which I doubt he would give any assurances of, and even so, where is the cap room coming from.
Read my edited post above...
We have to dump money and its gonna cost us that's the problem. Are we willing to pay?
My worry with Stone is I dunno if he can push a line ... but it's hard to argue with his goal numbers.
We would be so screwed if he came here and it for whatever reason didn't work for him and RNH or Draisaitl.
Our real issue is we need a creative, dynamic 1st line type of player ... on our *second* line. That will unlock the offence and make the team a large headache to play against, and once they realize they are never out of any game, the confidence and buy in to any system will come.
And yes of course, we had that player and decided Milan Lucic was the better way to go.
100% Stone can carry his own line... you can play him with Draisaitl. Stone can also get Pulj to break out and reach his potential.. hes an amazing player.
Dzingle - Mcdavid - ???
Stone - Draisaitl - Pulj
???? - RNH - ???
can roll deeper.. if we want or load up

Edmonton scouting Providence Bruins games now as well. If the hopes are for a hockey trade then who are the underperforming RWers in Edmonton that would be worth one of the Bruins top Providence prospects (Donato, JFK, Vaakanianen, Zboril, Senyshyn) that have had NHL time and can play in the NHL?

Some say…
That’s a terrible idea. A 300 lb, 34 year old Buff is a player who could fall off a cliff at any minute. Meanwhile we lose a 25 year old top pairing dman, signed to a steal of a contract.

There is no way Stone brings back a player like Bouchard let alone adding Yammamoto plus an unprotect first this whole concept is out to lunch. No salary out how exactly are you going to make room next year to keep 1 of those players let alone both? There is literally no point to do this considering you can try to sign him in the offseason and your chances are about the same probably to have him on your team next year why would you empty half the cupboard just to be able to talk to them a little earlier than other teams?
