Demidov is a HAB
Trading Dvorak/Armia/Savard would depend on whether the players in Laval are ready to move up. They won't trade Dvorak for a 3rd round pick, for example, if that means calling up Beck when he's not ready.
Exactly the kids have to come in with the understanding that they have to displace a veteran to graduate.Trading Dvorak/Armia/Savard would depend on whether the players in Laval are ready to move up.

Still don’t understand how some people don’t understand veterans are an integral part in your line up during a rebuild. The vets we have now are worth more to the team just being here right now then they are in a trade. When the kids are 100% ready, we can explore trade options. The value they bring isn’t what they’ll bring back in a trade right now, it’s in the time they buy the guys in Laval or on the team not ready to carry the extra minutes.Trading Dvorak/Armia/Savard would depend on whether the players in Laval are ready to move up.

Yep, makes sense. Big names in their prime never make it to FA anymore.
Terrible idea for Leon. If he's staying for eight years, I hope he is looking at getting the maximum possible. A player of his stature doesn't need to commit before June 30th.
Maximum money, good for him, bad for Edmonton, that's one good support player you can't afford.
I guess Edmonton better win the cup this coming season or they won't have the cap space to ice a team after that...
The veterans haven't blocked young players because except for Roy no one else has been ready and I don't expect it to change this training camp. The tricky bit is if the young players aren't ready at the trade deadline.Still don’t understand how some people don’t understand veterans are an integral part in your line up during a rebuild.

Almost $52m for 9 players for the 2025-2026 season when this extension kicks in and McDavid/Draisailt are $26m of that.
Bouchard haven't been extended yet either.
You are optimist.I think Oilers will start regretting this deal after about 2 seasons.
And what pray tell squashed those concerns exactly lol?At least we don't have to hear/read Leaf fans proclaiming that McDavid is on the way to Toronto.
Too many vets doing too little is never good no matter what.Still don’t understand how some people don’t understand veterans are an integral part in your line up during a rebuild.
