Ughh why? No more rushing in teenagers. Trade it to acquire a good dman. Although, it probably will have more value in the summer. I'm just sick of watching this team and then sit at home while other teams play for the cup

yes he said that. The impression I got was that he would be immediately ready after the break, but at the very least very soon after

It's not about rushing in teenagers, it's about making sure you don't **** up and trade Auston Matthews or Puljujarvi/Laine for Hamonic.
Did they ever say what happend to him?
Stauffer says lower body injury. I think I read here or somewhere it was a staph infection?

If we win Matthews, the response on this board and internet in general will be hilarious to watch unfold hahaha

he didn't say what happened to him, just that the reports of him limping were false and should be ready after the AS break

it was pretty much confirmed to be a staph infection earlier last week I think
At this point why would it be?
Unless Chiarelli is offered full value, being top-5 or better, why would he be shopping it?

If we DO get Mathews, I honestly think you have to trade him or trade down.

Might be availible as cap causalities, change of scenery situations, or lower-key UFAs.
Maybe we don't necessarily need to hit a home run. Two solid guys and hopefully a full season of Klefbom with Nurse taking a step next year and Reinhart also in the mix might not be so bad.

I would find it embarrassing as an Oilers fan if we are picking 1st again.
2nd would be a different story as I want that big Finn.
Lol true but if we have a guy like Hammer on our d, along with Klef and McD back, do you really see us going bottom 5?

I like what Chiarelli is doing here. It's not in play right now depending upon final spot in the standings and what happens in the lottery.
This year the top 3 picks are all lottery determined, so teams 30-28 could realistically be bumped out of picks #1-#3. I wouldn't publicly say that pick is for sale just yet either, even though I think it will be dealt after the lottery draft order has been determined or on draft day to snap up another d man if it's a relatively high pick.
I honestly don't think so. You keep him. He is NHL ready. Eberle or RNH become much easier to let go of in that scenario, you could trade both of them honestly in that case.

Pouliot McDavid Matthews
Is plenty of offence.

Completely agree. But man, the meltdown would be fun to watch for a couple days lol
I sure as heck hope we don't. McD is my Future franchise player not Matthews. IF we do get the pick I'd want us to trade down and take Olli Juolevi or Chychrun instead

I hope we don't get any of the top 3 lol i want Olli Juolevi
There's no chance IMO Eberle and RNH wouldn't be moved in favor of moving Matthews first.
Matthews is very much a Chiarelli type player too. He might be better than Jack Eichel.

What if we get Hamonic and his first game back he breaks his foot? Or Talbot goes down? Or we get McDavid back only for Draisaitl to get hurt?
Have to consider such things.

Trading Matthews by himself could fix our defence for the next decade.
Hypothetically, do you do it for Brodin + Coyle + MIN 1st + MIN 2nd?

If we somehow got Matthews and St. Louis doesn't trade Shatty this year I could see the Oilers packaging him for Petro and having a legit chance of getting the trade accepted.
No I wouldn't.
Because I wouldn't do Jack Eichel for Brodin + Coyle + low picks our staff is probable to **** up with.
Odds are you can get Brodin for RNH anyway, so why trade Matthews if he's the primary target.

Keep twiddling your thumbs while the team burns.
Matthews might pull a Lindros and I'd 100% support him.
