Nerds are in mate, it's our time at last.

I sadly didn't read comic books like all the female genitalia nerds, just read real books and interesting television.

Im often the first to say how important depth is, but the first and foremost focus for this team needs to be on acquiring a winger for Draisaitl. A couple FA additions like Calvert and Czarnik then a trade for one of my recommendations (Foegele, Joseph, etc) would do us a lot of good.

Nuge- McDavid- Lucic (don't pass to him)

- MaximumBone[Acq]- Draisaitl- Aberg
Khaira- Strome- Puljujarvi
Calvert- Czarnik- Kassian
[Rec], Caggiula, Rattie

Going into camp with that and a few forward prospects in the AHL (Yamamoto, Marody, Benson, etc) and we'll be fine. Not elite, but fine.

You can have Pearson and LA 1st for 10th đŸ‘đŸ»đŸ˜”

Hoping the Jets can lock up Trouba this would leave Myers available to trade (for cap reasons) I hate Myers In our end but he is a good right shot offensive D that can absolutely help your PP. the Jets have a lot of cheaper bottom 6 guys you could also have your pick from, Armia, Petan, Dano to name a few. Not sure if one of these guys and Myers would be if interest but maybe something could be worked out?

I could stomach adding Myers, but you'd have to take Sekera or Russell back. Can't add another 5.5mil to the D cap hit. I would have some interest in Armia, though.

Like Boner said; you’d have to take Sek or Russell. I’m sure that would kill the deal. That is even if either were willing to waive their NMC’s.

There is still timer Herr French. Don’t let common sense or the resulting lack of wussy deter you.

They’d probably be willing to waive for the Jets. I suspect they’ll be a good/great team for a few more years.

SOME?!😳

I’d crawl blindfolded and nude through Jero’s rumpus room if it meant the Oilers would acquire Armia.

And yet they love winning. I’d say the odds would be 50/50.

I think it's more a matter of the fact that the point of trading Myers for Winnipeg is to free up cap space to allow flexibility to resign Laine, Connor, Wheeler, Morrissey, Hellebuyck and Trouba over the next couple years.

Damn, that's a freaky boner stronger than mine for Warren Foegele and Anthony Cirelli combined

You know what? (frank) the 4th. I like this deal Gimme some of that sweet Pearson action and then draft Bokk where it won't be a reach!

I don’t see Wheeler or Trouba remaining Jets for long. The rest will command too much coin for it to be feasible.

I watch a LOT of Jets games and I absolutely love Armia’s game. Add to that fact that he’d probably be relatively affordable, and you’ve got yourself one stiff pork roll.

Also don’t lie. You’d do the same for Foegele and you know it.

Armia is very interesting, he looks like the player deserving of his first round pick 5 games a year, the rest of the time he is a very solid and responsible 4th liner who can kill penalties. There are Jets fans who think given more time in the top 6 could really help and others who just think by now he is what he is.

Maybe for Foegele AND Cirelli, but not for one. Jero's got some nightmarish things I'd have to crawl through

He’s a top 6 forward in my mind, and he certainly would be on the Oilers. You guys are just crazy (frank)ing deep up front.

I guess that I’m just the more devout fan. Though what they’ve done to earn such devotion is beyond me.

So something like this in 2020:

Pearson- McDavid- Puljujarvi
Bokk- Draisaitl- Armia
Khaira- RNH- Yamamoto

Where’s Lafreniere?

But yes, I like that very much. Except for this Bokk character. Don’t know much about him. I’m assuming German, yes?

Nice blog.

Are the 3 leaving after being told their services were no longer required or just want to go back to wherever?

They are still RFA's aren't they (or not?)?

Seems to quite a few holes to fill, maybe looking like your first rounder will be traded for some pieces?

Silky smooth German RW playing in Sweden this year. His skillset in comparable to guys like Ehlers and Pastrnak and- like the latter comparable- seems like the under-the-radar, star in the making of this draft I even got a chance to see him when I was in Sweden earlier this year and his skills are evident!
