Sometimes you just need to regroup before you try and take on randoms on hf again.
I'd say they have been equally crippling. Hopefully one of those problems were solved with the new assistants but then again, the old assistant who failed miserably is now in charge of the development program.
Lets just hope that both GM and coach have learned some hard lessons. I'm actually pretty satisfied with the draft, coaching and player additions thus far this offseason.
To be equivalent to what the Oilers did the Caps would have to had followed up getting fleeced on the Forsberg deal by trading away Backstrom or Kuznetsov for Larsson and then capping themselves out by signing Lucic and Russell.
If they follow the pattern of idiocy equivalent to the Oilers, no way do they have a Cup today.
Ovy would likely be retiring Cup less. The Oilers didn't just make one dumb move, they made multiple.

I'm not terribly upset with Woodcroft as a development coach as that seems to be where is strength lies according to reports when the Oilers first hired McLellan and company. He seemed to specialize in skill development.
I'm pretty happy with the offseason so far as well.

Sometimes miracles
If that's really going to be his number, I can get behind that, it's unique to say the least.
If...if...if. The fact is the Coyotes are still a losing franchise and not really a model of anything. Who gives a shit if they are better than the Oilers some years? Really high bar to set.

He wore it in the KHL and for Finland in international tournaments. There will be a couple people wondering why Maroon is in net.

Well, looks like Chicago is gearing up to trade for Faulk. Once that is done, I see Murphy on his way out, especially since Coach Q doesn’t like him all that much and their left side is very bare.
Would y’all do Russell for Murphy as a base deal? I take that 100 times out of 100.

If someone doesn't like Russell for 3 more years at $4 million... they likely won't like Murphy for 4 more years at $3.85 million either.
Murphy isn't any better than Russell.

This is a joke right?
At the very least, Murphy is young and getting better at reducing goals against than Russell if you wanna get nit picky with Rel Goal stats.
Murphy also destroys Russell in every advanced stat category and helps his team keep position of the puck.

Chayka is all in on the Vegas model. Lots of mid tier talent. Currently 9 centers on the roster

They have elite talent in OEL and Keller as well. Solid situation in net. D core looks strong, right side is weak. They have Strome who if he lives up to expectations is another elite level guy as well as Galchenyuk if he can benefit from the change of scenery. Wild card team that could make the playoffs or be a shit show again. No one knows.
