2024-25 Roster…too soon?

If Podkolzin continues to not produce maybe we can get a Reichel/Podkolzin swap down line

He's already in a bottom 6 role for the Oilers IIRC.

I don't think the Oilers have a need for a reclamation project that can only play top 6.

But who knows? Bowman did draft Reichel.

 

[GIADF]

Maybe but O'Reilly is not a bad prospect to get and he would join the group of guys for down line who could either become part of Hawks in future or used as trade chip when Hawks begin to get back into contention

We need high end forward talent. If a 1st is on the table take that gamble, but if it's a 2nd vs O'Reilly then fine give me O'Reilly.

When those extensions kick in next season, they're a McDavid or a Drai injury away from possibly being a lottery team.

Give me Sam O'Reilly all day. Drafted a little too early for my liking this year, but he'll be a hell of a player IMO.

I'd rather have a rolled pick in a future year than another guy from the '24 cohort to add into the same timeline as Boisvert/Vanacker.

 

[BHawk21]

I can see a Florida trade for Murphy 50%. They are thin on the backend and could use a vet RD at a low cap hit to try and win the next two years. Murphy would waive for Florida too.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Hopefully Murphy only put bottom feeders on his 10 team no-trade list. Edmonton could be tricky, especially for Americans, but I figure at least for now players that have any interest in winning a Cup would want to play next to McDavid.

I dont see how Boisvert and Vanacker devalue O'Reilly for us moving forward. Give me O'Reilly.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Murphy + Reichel (the Bowman Boys) for Ty Emberson + Sam O'Reilly + 2027 2nd round pick

Murphy + Reichel (the Bowman Boys) for Ty Emberson + Sam O'Reilly + 2027 2nd round pick

For O’Reily don’t even need the 2rd pick coming back

Yeah, but it's Stanley so you can get a little extra
