Paralyzer
Oilers Win Cup in 2025
Yeah but again, if the plan is to open the vault and max these two out you have to provide them with the wingers to play with. Maybe just my fears coming into play.. at some point we'll lose both. We saw what happend to CGY when they let their guys go to UFA with no real plan and they didn't get a damn thing, which is a) horrific asset management and b) a very possible scenario if these guys don't like what they see in terms of roster construction.
I wouldn't normally be wringing hands about this but Draisaitl is hitting UFA status after this next season so.. just not sure what the idea is going forward.
If there wasn't a plan for keeping both players, then Jeff Jackson wouldn't be here, they wouldn't have hired a Sports Psychologist to help the team with the playoffs (albeit, was for Skinner, but he did help other players out), they wouldn't have built this winning culture for them. I cannot see them just leaving. They know their best chance to win a cup is here. If they didn't care, they wouldn't have done this.
