The last thing I want is Gio practicing against McDavid.

The benefit to Gio compared to the other guys is that Schultz and Shatty were given PP time, while Gio was used on the PK more. The PK is what we would need to replace by losing Ceci. I don't know how good Gio was on the PK though, but logically he would be good at it if it was less about skating and more about puck retrieval and reading the cycle
sign him to a 1 year deal and send him to bakersfield so he can ride the bus.

He was crap in TO and then got hurt. His fall has been ongoing for some time.
If the Oilers spoke to Kneeordano and said anything but “f*** off” …
I am still sour on Bowman (certified bitch) but adding this would be Manning all over again.
By the way, did you know Scott Bowman hasn’t even broken a nail his entire life? I’ve heard he hasn’t even had to cut his own steak before!

Gio has been washed up for a few years now. A hard pass.

hard to call him crap in T.O when he only played 14 games and hurt his back on a plane going to Europe. He's probably done though.

If he has back problems too then don't walk away from signing him, run away.

Don't take my 'defending" of him as me thinking we should sign him.
If a guy gets hurts and misses a season for something as silly as getting hurt on a plane ride...that body is broken.
I think we need to stay away from aging players now. We have enough.

100% if anything we need more youth with pep in their step so that the vets can cruise a bit until the games matter most.

I also have a hunch that Wanner is gonna be on the big club as a 6/7 before the season is done. This talk of Gio/Shatt is veteran insurance
Wanner had a great rookie year in the AHL. He quickly became one of the top Dmen on the team. I think Wanner or Kemp will have a spot for a bit or, at the very least, will get a call up or two

I feel like Gio is coming with that statement his agent released. There was really no point to it other than to prime flames fans for what is about to happen.
"Damn, he fell almost as easily as a Florida Panther."

Nurse wasn’t even in the top 4 back then it was Russell. Nurse didn’t really break out a as a top 4 guy till after that run.
Either way our left side has very little depth after Kulak. I could see them wanting a passable option there.

Lots of interesting lefties that might hit waivers.
Haydn Fleury or Ville Heinola in Winnipeg.
Matthew Robertson in New York.
Ty Smith in Carolina.
Jake Christiansen in Columbus.
Albert Johansson in Detroit.
Jacob Moverare in Los Angeles.
Lucas Carlsson in San Jose.
I wonder if they'd claim one and sneak one of the righties with term through waivers at the same time.

The D market is starting to open up. I see a bunch of interesting names, some of them with term.
A trade right after the start of the season might take place, the team only waiting because of possible LTIR rationalizations. Depending what Kane's status is likely dictates what player can be traded for. Between a player heading out, retention and LTIR maximization, something's got to give to make the cap work.
An early season trade is not contingent on Kane being on LTIR for the entirety of the season or being placed on LTIR at all. A trade doesn't have to wait until the deadline. Cap accruement has just as much correlation to Kane's health as an early season top 4 RD trade does. Maybe the team trades for a top 4 RD in season then makes another move at the deadline. We only know that cap can be accrued when Kane is not on LTIR and we don't know the extent or the timeline of such an event.
The PTO for the club could likely be an audition for an early season LD Kulak replacement and the Oilers are just waiting on the season to start to pull the trigger on a top 4 RD acquisition.

I've never even heard of this Wanner kid before. Drafted 212 overall? Would be cool if he could turn into something eventually.

I hope a trade would be there but I don't see it. There are some rumors but it's just not a selling time. Like the Flames for instance, do we know for sure that they will be bad? The odds are good but a move like trading Weegar, Kadri or Andersson nukes any small chance they had, and why do that when you can make just as good a trade later in the year?
Has there ever been a fleury of trades at the start of the year?

He not even very good. I consider us a better team than Boston. He wasn't good enough to play regular there . Good big or go home
