Interesting, Oliver Kylington is still unsigned in Calgary and probably not returning. I guess we don't really have a LHD need, though.

The #4C market in UFA seems to have dried up.

I wonder if you could get someone decent back while dumping Ceci somewhere.
Truthfully I'm fine running a combo of McLeod/Holloway as 3C and Ryan/Hamblin as 4C. There's always going to be someone to pick up come trade deadline to add some depth at C.

So Brown does us a solid and takes a value deal and Ekholm delivers Arvidsson, other than that kind of a shit day for JJ. No Janmark and that Perry deal stinks.
I mean, what did you expect?

There's still time left though. If the Oilers can bring in Skinner to go along with Arvidsson. I'd say it was a very solid day.

The D is obviously still an issue, led by the boat anchor contract Nurse has. The Oilers also have to be cautious with how they spend with McDavid, Draisaitl, and Bouchard due up soon. Not an easy fix.

I am sorry to see Vinny go but at $2M I think he would be over paid. I also think that in a Canucks-Oilers series Vinny is a guy the Oilers could exploit.

Ya we’re the exact type of team (speed off the rush) that he struggles against

Yikes, that is a really bad deal. Like, really, REALLY, bad. The only way a Perry deal made sense is if they got him at a number that could be buried. This makes no sense for a replacement level player.

Huh? Perry’s entire caphit can be buried

Is there any point when we have Holloway, McLeod, Ryan, hopefully Janmark, etc all who can play center?


That’s huge!!!

For clicks? He’s a shill

Easy enough to brush it aside if it’s proven to not be the case
Yeah that kind of stuff is always 8 grains of salt.

Maybe Kane was upset about being scratched. Upset about being injured. He was a star player and an alpha and he can no longer play at that level.

Wouldn't be shocked if he was upset, doesn't mean he's going anywhere

No point derailing Holloway's development. He was clearly miles better on the wing.

Janmark is far better at wing too. McLeod is going to be the #3C because they probably don't have the money for Henrique now. Ryan better be in Bako next year.
