OEL's contract is a cash burden. They have to hope they can get out of it with a trade if he's not playing 25 mins a night.
I think OEL is still capable of playing 22-23 minutes a night like Chychrun is. I doubt either will be at 25 minutes with having both on the team.

But right now I only think OEL is overpaid by like 1M. It could get ugly near the end, but the cap will also go up once Covid is done. Our D would be horrible next season not bringing him back.

On Landeskog? That was a pretty obvious trip on the reverse angle.

It looked to me like Hammer brought his stick down on Landeskogs stick which pushed it into his skate. Hammer essentially tripped himself.

He's owed $31.5m with some of it being bonus money the next three years. They need young players and picks. They need the captaincy back.

I think a move is an obvious win. It's just up to Oliver with his NMC. That's the problem.

I think Chychrun would be a great captain but it also wasn’t all that long ago when we had another young stud D who looked like he was the perfect heir apparent as well.

I miss Yandle too.

OEL got it because he was the best player, not due to any natural leadership ability. I've never liked that captaincy model.

Probably a necessary penalty for Gauthier to take given Saad had already walked around him

Can't get into the offensive zone consistently right now. Avs are pressuring the boards and Yotes are dumping but not often getting the puck...or when they do the support isn't there/late.

I know it's a PK but you still shouldn't let guys rip it from the faceoff dot that easily
