You don't buy the rumours that he's likely not re-signing in EDM?
- Nucker101

oh for sure. id assume a the very least, its gonna be tough to resign him considering all factors


but this is a fair offer to try and keep him.
gotta try anyway.

if not, at best we get a lesser or unproven player with a contract plus a medium prospect.

at worst he walks for nothin

Those are the tough decisions to be made. Selling high on younger players not deemed to be part of the core and cutting ties with veterans for the same reason.
- Tumbleweed

Agreed they are tough, but I don't think anyone in the Organization figured that we could just draft the BPA's , collect assets and develop role players and win a cup with 23 drafted and/or self developed players.
There will come a time when we have to sit back , count our assets and start dealing much like The Kings did. I didn't think we were there even up to the draft last year but after the free agency period saw the Oilers add some good players I think were close to that point now.

You buying their story that his gf "fell down" and the cops misunderstood them when they arrested him?
- Nucker101

Umm. Well. Its hard to say. He barely speaks english. So I could only imagine how bad she is with it. Hes been in the states for a much longer time. I will say this. As a Kings fan. Seeing him get drafted and developed and the choices he made for his development. I would have not imagined he could do something like this. He doesnt seem to have a mean bone in him.

Doesnt mean it didnt happen. I dont know what happened. But could only imagine her reactions while not speaking english when authorities show up to question her. If he did do it and gets away with it. Im sure it will be a big wake up call for him. Hes generally a very humble kid.

Yeah, I've read/heard the same about him since this news came out. I have him in my keeper league so hopefully he's gonna play again soon.

Edit: forgot to say, (frank) the kings.

Agreed.....but we will ultimately have to give to get. I try really hard not to be one of those Jabronis that offer up our garbage and spare parts for another teams gold.
- Jeropotato


I agree.

Have you thought any more about the Franson for Nugent-Hopkins proposal?
