See I don’t understand. What would guentzel have done to stop our defense from getting caved in??? Would he have been on the powerplay where he’s most effective ? No? Then I just don’t see what he would have done. It’s a team issue. The perimeter play for years, not going to the net, etc. unwillingness to go to the dirty areas.

Not only the transition game but also the willingness to play below the dots and in the crease.
Buyout saves $4m the last two years of the deal but it’s a straight $2m debit the last two years since Trouba would have been zero otherwise. Minor point but just to be clear.
Fair clarification. Worded and phrased it completely wrong for years 3 and 4.
That forward core is pretty underwhelming. Plus more Trouba and a washed TJ Brodie. I’d rather just tank.Heres what I think is realistic heading this summer.
1) trade lindgren and kakko to San Jose for Penguins 1st.
2) sign max domi for 2 X $3.6 (all numbers and terms used here are per AFP analytics) Brings much needed grit, and just as important flexibility to play RW and Center. Very important due to Chytil’s health uncertainty.
3) sign TJ Brodie 2 X $3.6. He had a step back this year but paired with fox will be solid and better than paying lindgren more money with more term.
4) Schneider 2X$2

Leaves us about $1.5 in cap space which accural wise will allow us to be quite active at the deadline with around $6.5 mill in cap space to acquire a top pairing LD to bump brodie to 3rd pair and also add a big middle 6 forward. At 50% retained this would allow us to get guys like chychrun for a 1st at 50% retained and then yianni gourde at 50% retained for ______.

The problem with this statement is that how soon would it have come? If the Oilers lose 6 games instead of winning those 6 games, then maybe St Louis squeezes into the playoffs and the Oilers don't even get a shot at the playoffs. The Oilers seemed pretty checked out with Woodcroft. Knoblauch's arrival was much needed just for the fresh start.
I admit to be more optimistic than many here. I think if we are retaining half on Trouba, we could send him to Utah for the return of our 2025 2nd and 3rd picks. Their defense is so bad. They're in a new town, and the boom Trouba can lay down is going to get the fans out of their seats.
Either way I don’t think a buyout is crazy if indeed this is the Trouba we experience going forward. I’m still hopeful his awful playoff performance was due to an injury and he can redeem himself going forward. And even if not I’d prefer to avoid dead cap somehow. But there are indeed some reasonable options on the table.

I do feel like after winning the lottery they did start drafting for that mindset. It started with Cuylle, then they drafted rempe, othmann, Karpa, syky, rooebroek etc… Besides Gabe(and this is not a knock at him at all, I love that pick) they’re def trying to build an identity through the system instead of trying to pay for it in FA.
Yes, it’s pretty funny and they talk lots of hockey, it’s Toronto focused but they talk about everything in sports, lots of hockey insider segments and a bunch of good laughs along the way
