They got Barbashev and Blueger last year, hardly going out and “getting everyone”. Nobody was looking at Vegas at a favourite. The teams that went out and took big swings last year and who people had pegged as favorites were Boston getting Orlov and Bertuzzi and Rangers getting Tarasenko and Kane, how’d that work out for them?

You’re kinda proving my point for me with the Columbus example. They went all in and I guess if you consider beating Tampa in the first round and then losing in the second a success then yeah it all worked out for them. But in reality it didn’t work out and they pretty much immediately went into the toilet after that so great call by them there.
Ah, tbh Eichel/Barbashev both went there last year in my mind. My mistake. Seems like yesterday all that drama with his surgery was going on.

And I think even CBJ would consider that somewhat of a win. They played a part in a historic upset, when they most likely wouldn't have made the playoffs without those moves. Just turns out elite players have no interest in staying there. I will say, its an entirely different situation than us or VGK.

Maybe you're right and Vegas does falter. I hope your right at least, because they look ridiculously stacked atm
 
My memory must be going at the ripe age of 39. I do not even remember Bleuger on Vegas at all. He really stands out on Vancouver, but I cannot even remember him there.
 
Just waiting for the inevitable Martinez on LTIR and VGK trades some random bum and a pick for Guentzel. f*** that franchise and any team that continues to help those jackasses.
I agree. Why do more GM's not have a petty hate for these teams? Surely we can't be the only ones that hate them.

Teams like Calgary and Vancouver have this petty little brother syndrome with us, yet Vegas is all good? Like what?

At least Luongo posted the Kevin Nash wheelchair meme earlier.
Hey guys, we're gonna put our captain on LTIR again so we can cheat the cap to acquire good players.
-gets Noah Hanifin-
Hey guys, Martinez played 17 minutes last night, but now he's on IR, and we might potentially put him on LTIR too like his captain Stone. We'll gonna attempt to get Guentzel as a result, so we hope that's okay too.

f*** them.
 
Haven’t the Oilers been scouting the Jackets heavily the last while? Provorov and Roslovic at 25% would be right around Ceci + Foegele’s combined hit. Roslovic has a lot of the same attributes Foegele does but is right handed. Would balance things out a bit up front. 11 points in his last 10 games since being moved up he lineup and playing with more skilled linemates.

Holloway+ for Marchenko would also be an interesting move to shore up the 2nd line. Provorov+Marchenko package would actually be ideal I think.

Boquist for Foegele is also a cap wash. Seeing we have 14 forwards currently that might make sense. Could go 11/7 and have some nice platoon minutes to spread out between Desi/Boquist/Ceci. I think Holland would opt for the vet Provorov over an inexperienced Boquist though.
