Murdering our D corps aside, do you REALLY wan't to give edm all that D help? Are you trying to hand them the cup?
- Herzeleid

We still have Ristolainen, Bogosian, Gorges, McCabe and Ruhwedel. Not to mention whatever else Murray wants to draft/trade for. If making that trade gets EDM and BUF both to the Stanley Cup Finals, then we didn't give them the cup. They'd have to fight us for it. And if that's the case, would you rather have McDavid or Eichel on your team?

Murray wants McDavid better put your seat belts on, that's all i'm gonna say.

He's back!

I'd rather have Eichel + Pysyk + Zads, but that's really a no brainer. It's not JUST destroying our D that i'd hate (let's be real fvck Gorges, Ruhwedel), it's HELPING edm that I'd really hate.

Why ? This could get him fired if it all blows up in his face

WE ARE FINE WE DON'T NEED MCDAVID

he's a better fit for Buffalo, in my opinion.

Because we only see them two times a year? Who gives a damn what they do on the West Coast. With McDavid, there's no question Buffalo becomes dominant in the East.

So let's gut the the whole (frank)ing team that makes sense we won't see the playoffs for like another nine years

I know everyone hates bringing up the name of O'Riley but Murray better pull a player of his callibar at the draft. As long as we don't give up Risto Reinhart or Girgensons for him I'd do it. We can give up one of Pysyk/Zadorov. Though with Pysyk's health concerns I'd bet they'd want Zadorov.

Maybe Zadorov our 2nd 1st and another offensive piece gets it done for O'Riley. Move him to wing and then bam!

Moulson Reinhart O'Riley
Foligino Girgensons Gionta

And with Eichel, also a generational talent, along with a physical beast and defensively sound beast added on D, we are even more dominant.

Solid reply.

Must feel abit sh1tty, but he responded with class.

Not saying Murray is a bad gm, but he's kind of a douche.

I suppose a gm who doesn't measure every word in front of the cameras is refreshing, but jeez man, use your head before u speak. Think of the dude who you're taking now.

I don't want to touch our defense, let alone move a D for RoR.

If you think it's going to take two players you"re downright crazy it's going to take two or three of our elite prospects

to be fair, media has been on him non-stop about even firing Nolan. I'm surprised he hasn't killed reporters and drank their blood. He's just all business when it comes to things. I actually like that about him.

- Herzeleid

We need a top 6 winger for next year. That guy isn't in our team or system ROR is a very real option. Murray even said today that teams know the guys we like. And has been dangling that 2nd 1st round pick forever. Makes too much sense.. Can't think of another guy he'd be able to get whose a bonafied top 6 winger

I'd almost rather have Eichel, him and Girgensons will be money in the playoffs. But seriously we shouldn't be toucjing our defense at all.

He was taken out of context, he said that he was disappointed in the Draft lottery process. He thinks the NHL draft should be like the NFL draft. He then goes on to praise Eichel but no one mentions that, because that doesn't make for as good a story.

You want Connor McDavid kiss Super Sam goodbye to start

Either Grigs or Hodgson can easily play wing on the 2nd line without us having to give up our D + a 1st.

Oilers would want nothing to do with him. He's exactly like half of their team right now. A skilled un physical passer. He's a poorer version of RNH at this stage of both of their careers. If they were going to ask for any center on team it would be Girgensons. Something like Girgensons Risto both our firsts this year plus 1st next year will maybe get it done

You wan't McDavid, go learn how to build a proper team.

- Herzeleid

The only place Hodgson deserves to be a 2nd line winger on a playoff challenging team is in the AHL. Grigerenko hasn't proven enough to me that he deserves to be an anchor on a 2nd line.

Murray has publicly stated multiple times he's going to try and make a trade on day 1 of draft. Its clearly for a winger or maybe a goalie though I'd prefer it be a winger.

If you don't think they're not going to ask for Sam back you're crazy

It will be risto, 2015 first 2016 and Sam maybe more

I don't want to touch this at all
