I can see that. I think Keith still has game left. Smart as hell. He will help the Oilers.

If true Larsson would be a good add.

At the right price....could be a bad overpay. I think JB pulls the trigger on that if he can trade Schmidt. It would be a better fit with the other guys we have.

Kyprios, who Bieksa has replaced on SN, spilled a tip that Larsson is Canuck bound.

That's the type of aggressive move promised and needed. It will wake some up to what's really happening.

Which Larsson? OEL?

I mean....as long as it's not a big contract for a D man that has never scored more than 4 goals.

4 years @ 4m?
I would for a RHD shut down Dman that is 28.

rather him than Hamonic tbh.

Now how can a player be rumoured to go anywhere without tampering involved?

Does it matter ? I am willing to bet either guy would prompt Ruby to write "He would immediately be Canucks best Dman "

I still think the Swede connection and a $5M x 7yrs will land UFA RHD Larsson. Term is the new flat cap trade off.

I think if it was OEL for Schmidt you would probably see Roussel going along with it.

OEL 6/8.25m til 35 yrs old ouch
Schmidt 4/5.95m til 34

Doesn’t make sense to me. Has to be something else that is major to come for that to even come to be. Very risky & says FIRED all over it JB. Then again who knows FA’s part in anything of that magnitude.

20% raise & max term in the flat cap era? C’mon that’s no trade off.

2.3m retained is a saw off.
Realistic or not?
Idk about that lol

Oilers have 2 offers on the table for Larsson apparently, one shorter term with higher AAV and one longer term at less AAV.

Apparently they did the same to RNH and he went for the longer term.

Unrealistic with Arizona’s finances imo . My guess is that they’re more open to taking back a short term cap dump if Benning adds in a good enough pick or prospect

Yotes have the cap to take on a dump. After that 1st year it’ll be a real cap challenge or hell. My money is on hell costing us big.

I think JB will get OEL at a good cost, he has the leverage

Some leverage maybe but the cap is a real problem.

His cap was 4.1 but last couple seasons salary was $5M. UFA and top 4 RSD get paid.

Overblown, plenty of cap opening up in the near future
