love your takes - they are usually hot but well written and you should replace Skip Bayless your that good. You were so far ahead of talking heads on Jayden Daniels - lot of your views I thought were ‘what?’ I started paying attention and you were correct. I’m a fan.
RNH I can’t see leaving Edmonton and he like Hymen are good but always remind me how good players who played with Orr, Esposito, Lemieux & Gretzky became HOF worthy and many made it. It’s really a credit that they can do it and clearly had high skills to begin with.
He was first overall and he’s good I’m just not sure at his age playing here if he came how he’d fare - you give him Pastrnak he probably is a PPG but although his cap hit is very good - he’s 31 in April and has 5 more years after
The NMC is what he wanted
I’m GM of Edmonton I got McDavid, I need to keep Draisaitl- I have very good players who can play with skill in RNH & Hyman
If I can get DeBrusk on a similar deal to the latter and have 5 F like those guys I’m pretty freaking happy
I’m Edmonton RNH fits and I try to get DeBrusk; if they can get RNH, Hyman, and DeBrusk long term for about $16 M with the two studs you are in business
That’s a heck of a core
What if the Bruins and Edmonton do a deal around Foegle and JDB, with Edmonton adding a 2nd, based on the fact that JDB is highly likely to re-up in Edmonton and has been more productive throughout his career.
Both are UFA, similar numbers this year, both kill penalties, Foegle is listed as LW/RW, we know JDB has played both, similar age, Foegle is a little bigger, Jake a little faster.
It doesn’t solve the center issue, but replaces JDB, cuts a little salary and adds to our draft capital.
