So flames are Interested in Carlo on main board.... God their annoying. Little brother syndrome big time. Then they'll trade Anderson to our rival and we will still beat that team.

Bowman could only overpay for Jones because Holland got Keith, who demanded a trade only to Edmonton, without getting Bowman to retain any money. Like we were his only destination.
Oh, and they gave Nurse a bridge 2 years prior to extend…..Alex Chiasson. Lmao.
Colorado should go all in this year, they have a good chance of coming out of the West if they do I think.
Vegas is gonna be tough especially if Adin Hill elevates his game like he tends to do in the playoffs (.930+ even last year). Last year they were gassed from winning the Cup, but a year removed from an early exit and that issue is likely resolved at least.
Winnipeg has collapsed the previous couple of years, but they do have a new coach/system this year, this could be their year like last year was ours with a new coach/system to eek through.

Don't forget that the only reason Bowman was able to overpay Jones was because Holland paid to take the corpse of Duncan Keith off their hands.
EDIT: I see that this point has already been made. Just another legendary Holland move. What a dope.

Special thanks goes to Kenny for extending him to term. A player like that bounces around from team to team for a good reason. They should've exercised more caution and signed him to fewer years.
There's probably 6 teams that can go all in and win it all this year and that includes the Oilers despite the 5 games skid
Didn't Holland bridge Nurse to he could use that money to then extend Zack Kassian, who he then had to pay to trade away? lol.

My deadline prediction is something like
2nd+Akey for Donato
3rd for McCarron
5th for a depth D like Rutta or Cholowski
Yes, it's underwhelming as f***.

By the sounds of things, the Oilers have hamstrung themselves into ensuring that they can't go all in.
I await the excuses from their shitty media.
I want Tuch to be a top 6 forward for this group. Would fit in great next to Leon.

Accruing cap space on a grueling WC NHL season by running a thin roster not allowing additional personnel is such a dumb idea in the first place.

Sounds about right. People really shouldn't evaluate Holland with rose coloured glasses. He was just as big of a f***up as Chiarelli.

The Oilers were basically Kane’s last chance. I hope what’s being reported isn’t true or is exaggerated. If he in fact has also now alienated the Oilers organization / team then that’s probably it for him.
His best bet is probably to play ball and go along with being on LTIR in exchange for playing time in the playoffs.
If the Oilers go on a run, he can be positioned for a contract extension somewhere else once his current deal lapses.

Might as well double down on the roster since they already committed to this group with all the nmc they gave up.
I’d like to see them retool with some younger players who can contribute now and in the future as well as obvious goaltending upgrade.
But I don’t feel a ton of hope at the moment. Spending a bunch of assets on rentals or guys who don’t fit in the future seems pointless to me.

Not sure if mentioned yet but Seravalli speculating Mrazek to Edmonton as a good fit today on Daily Faceoff.
"I think if there's a team out there, Edmonton, that could use a guy like that. They're not looking for anything so future considerations to the Chicago Blackhawks, you trade something-a third/fourth round pick to another team to have them retain half for this year and next and you get Mrazek at sub $2.5M this year and next. I think whether it's Carolina or Edmonton, it makes a lot of sense."

Mrazek is just as bad if not worse than our current duo, f***ing puke.

If this is true then Kane is likely putting himself before the team and we are basically f***ed because we gave out NMC's to Skinner and Arvidsson.
