I hate the oilers but man, arvidsson and Skinner are nice adds to an already good team.

oh yeah and if we could get the Duke of Mars for GM , he'd bring in stamkos and bure and orr and lemieux and forsberg and matt roy and celine dion and all for league minimum and he'd bring back the nordiques too.
and cure lupus and overdoses and fix the polar icecaps.
who couldn't get behind that?
and us with our damn used car GM pun-adjacent!!!

Arvidsson would have been a nice pick up. I was hoping for him over Iafallo in the PLD deal
But I guessif you're gonna choose a frozen Canadian tundra city, you pick the one with the best player in the world

For a combined 7m cap hit? That's a pretty good dman...
Looks like they are sweetening the pot for Drai - get his numbers up so they have to pay him 15m
I'm very surprised as well to see Holland moving on from Edmonton ? You'd think he'd want to stick around and get credit for what he built out in Edmonton, and their very close to winning the Cup next year.
Seems to me that there's more to this story than we're being told. Doesn't make any sense ?

Now looks like Henrique is going back as well. That is going to be tough to beat next years.
Nuge - McDavid - Hyman
Skinner - Drais - Kane
Holloway - Henrique - Arvidsson
D sucks but that's probably the best three lines in the leauge.
Skinner + Arvidsson + Henrique = $10M. What a deal.

Whiteout Is Coming.
So the Oilers are already over the cap by $2.5 M and they still have not be penalized for last year for being over the cap ($1.5M).
What is the penalty for being over the cap anyways?
GM has to resign?

Don't you get a 10% cushion in the off season?

That’s a very solid looking line up
Oilers have to go all in next year, after that they are going to be on the downswing…can’t waste McDavid and Drai

Trouba situation with the Rangers is an absolute mess. For those not following the drama:
- Trouba's NMC changed into a modified 15 team NTC yesterday
- Rangers tried to trade him Detroit with 2.5 million retained to free up capspace to sign players (both their own and FA).
- Detroit is on Trouba's NTC list. Rangers ask him to waive the NTC or they will place him on waivers and get rid of his contract that way
- Trouba camp leaks he won't be happy with a trade not only to Detroit but even to teams not on his NTC list as his wife has 1 more year of residency left and she has to stay in NY
- This scares off other teams who are interested in Trouba and not on his No trade list, who now don't want to trade for him.
- Now looks like Rangers are stuck with Trouba for this season, there is bad blood between the two parties, fans are pissed, some at Trouba some at the Rangers.
- Trouba is still the captain going into the next season.
Don't really get what NYR are expecting lol. The guy specifically forced a trade to NY area only because of his wife's work and now they are angry that he doesn't want to waive his NTC they agreed to for a team in Michigan when giving him his contract?
Talk about being a spoiled franchise and fan base...

Rangers need to trade him to the West coast so his wife can file for divorce.
I totally agree with you, that the Oilers are going to be a force to be reckoned with this upcoming season. They signed Arvidsson, Skinner, and retained Henrique, while not losing any star players. They definitely will be in the Top 3 teams favoured to win the Cup. Maybe # 1 ?
I would have liked to see the Jets go after Arvidsson, but they were trying to sign Monahan.
I'm OK with the Jets not making a panic fast decision, like all these other teams. Chevy is more of a longer term strategic thinker, and won't pull the trigger on a deal, unless he feels there's good return. I like the way Chevy deals.
Will be interesting on what he does with McGroarty and Ehlers. There is still some fireworks to come yet.

I hope that their defense and goaltending don't hold up and they miss the playoffs, just hate that spoiled franchise.
WOW - Toffoli signs for 4 yrs @ $ 6 mil per yr, total $ 24 million. What a massive overpay by the Sharks. The guy is a slow, and awkward skater, who I would maybe give $ 3.8 mil per season to sign him. He can score though, so I guess their hoping he works out somehow. Very big risk IMO.
It's great the Jets are staying away from these older players, getting huge contracts. I'd like to see the Jets work some younger guys into the lineup, like Lambert and Chibrikov.

You got that right, and a total fleecing by Toffoli's agent, just taking Mike Grier to the cleaners. I can't see this contract working out good.

Seeing the money spent on Toffoli and Debrusk makes me wonder if we can actually get a pick for Iafallo without retaining.

But but but………..those big cheap shots, oh I mean hitz
Dude is hiding behind his wife’s situation again to justify his actions. Jacob nobody gives a shit if you have to be long distance for one hockey season as your wife does her last year in residency. Is this clown for real.
The contract was a joke from day 1
Playing hardball with James Dolan.
Imagine playing for a team that you absolutely know for sure that they want you gone.Trouba isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

If the alternative is not seeing your wife and one year old baby for a year??….

He could retire he could relocate, possibilities are endless.
There are several teams within a close distance
NYI , Devils, Flyers* ( 90 miles I believe but stand corrected )
Small commute, every day people travel just as far to work in GTA
I know a guy who works in downtown Toronto and commutes daily from Barrie and has for years.
With housing costs it’s pretty common in the east.
It can be done , he just doesn’t want to do it.
