Trading for Tkachuk is pointless when you dont have eichel feeding him the puck

18m for 2 wingers thats a no for me

agree with the first line but did we figure out what his qualifying offer would be?

Nice read, that's a lot to take in. Be pretty wild though, except the Risto Captain stuff, threw up in my mouth a little reading that part.

Could be, depending on what happens, cause it's basically all talk right now. If Jack leaves and Sam stays I would give it to Rhino. Granato said Sam does a lot behind the scenes people don't see.
- Buff36


If he resigns long term, I'd entertain it, but given his responses in presser I think that'd be a requirement. Can't have a Captain that is also trying to get out in a year or two.

Not bad, why we would take back Lucic in a trade is a little confusing, but other than that decent stabs at what it would look like.

Well I really didn't take much from the presser other than a guy frustrated and angry. I really don't know what people expected him to say 2 days after another bad season.

I know that’s a qualifying offer based on the last year of his current deal. What do you really think he signs for? Is there one of those “expected contracts” on him?

I’d love him but not at $9 mill... so what price makes you say “yes”?

No, Mike Smith didn't show up. But is he even capable of showing up ? He's decent, but you need more than a "decent" goalie in the NHL playoffs. As far as I can see, all the Oilers need is a top goalie in the league. They currently don't have that. Somehow acquire an elite goalie, and that team suddenly is a contender.

Correct me if I'm wrong here Chip but diversity is an old old wooden ship.


Also didnt they structure his current contract so that he has to be qualified at 9mm?

I would trade for Draisaitl if available

It will cost but not as much as mcdavid

Having him a cozens could work and matty
