Where are you fitting all those big salaries in? And who’s moving out to obtain them? “Dumping” Looch and Russell? Not sure what that means or how you plan on doing it. This isn’t one of your computer games.

As for dumping Kassian, why would you want to do that?

11 going out? I guess.


I think the point is more that its a bubble team for a year or two.

We’ll need to reload in steps.

With the D coming up through the system, and Bouchard in a top 4 role in another year, defense can be tabled.

We need 2-3 NHL wingers to give Connor, Leon and Nuge some help. It’s the surest path to the postseason. Gagner, Khaira and Cave are three good options for the bottom six.

Need to cut cap to get it done. Trading Lucic would be best, but a buyout may be needed, dump Kassian and see if we can get back anything of value for Sekera or Russell when their NMCs downgrade but both may be movable for assets next deadline and are needed to hold the fort until the kids are ready.

Man I hope this has a thread of truth

What's weird is about a month back some skippy I was talking to about hockey, claimed to have a source/friend in NJ. He literally said Hall is gonna be traded and they aren't happy with his attitude. Take that for what it's worth

Imagine if Hall and Eberle came back at a discount to win. Holy carp would we score!
McDavid
Draisaitl
Hall
Nuge
Eberle
Gagner

Toss in cheap Maroon and Chaisson.
Hendrix for water boy (this seems to be a real need)
Just need Yak back to be their whipping boy:)

So let's say that we bring him back and he is a head case. Who keeps him in check? Connor? Nurse? Drai?

His on ice contributions would be huge when he's healthy, there's no denying that.

Here is where this insider crap is bull shit because this would be tampering and a massive massive kick to the Oilers head. Loss of a first round draft pick and a 7 figure fine just for starters.

Players talk amongst each other. If Panarin and Bob sign in Fla is it because they tampered or because they talked to other players and told them of their interest.

True but this info is not written as heard from a player but from management. It is strictly verboten for anyone in a rival organization to discuss another teams players future plans. It is a bridge none will cross especially to a wanna be insider twitter blogger. The penalties are so punitive as to prevent even the slightest discussion.
