Please no for Burns.

Declining rapidly. Too high a cap hit. Terrible defensively. Will be 38 by the time the playoffs start.

I want a more steady presence back there to play with our young guys like Sandy, Brann, JBD and Lassi.

My wish list for today is:

- Sign Giroux (no more than 4 years)
- Trade Brown for top 4 D (eg. Marino, Cernak)
- Unload Zaitsev

Hopefully we just recoup picks and prospects for Brown. That we can then use to move Zaitsev if needed

Poolparty would replace Chris Tierney nicely.

And by nicely, I mean inheriting the “plays die on my stick” title.

Puljujarvi is deemed “a play killer” inside the Oilers dressing room, it is believed, where two of the best centremen in the world have not been enough to turn Puljujarvi into a legitimate Top 6 winger in the NHL. The puck dies on his stick in the offensive zone too often to continue to saddle Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl with such a winger on a regular basis.

Why are we trading Brown though? He's awesome and cheap for this year. If you HAVE to to sign the other ginger, then so be it, but there HAS to be a means to an end here.

Brown wanted out. It’s as simply as that.

Going to free agency next year. This is the right time to move him. I can't blame him. With new additions he's on the outside looking in in terms of plum spots.

Why not treat this as your trade deadline expenditure though? You know what I mean? Or else make damn sure you use anything you get back to get a TOP 4 DMAN! I can't stress the top 4 enough lol
