From where...?Not sure how accurate but I’m hearing 13.5x8 for Leon after Connor’s wedding

THERE HAS? Where?There’s been more talk of Hall double retained at the trade deadline but as it’s Tracy reporting it the one coming home is probably Chiarelli signing for toilet bowl cleaning.
I think the condition for Kane to waive his is him getting pushed from a top 6 forward spot, he thinks very highly of himself and isn't happy taking a lesser role, though I'm sure he'll still want a say on where he ends up and I'm not sure how many teams are actually interested in his services. The condition for Nurse waiving his NMC I think will occur when the org has a heart to heart talk and just say we need this money to pay the extensions of players who are more important to the success of the franchise than you, if Nurse realizes he is standing in the way of the paydays of his friends and of the Oilers ability to stay competitive I think he'll reluctantly agree to waive the NMC.You have to think Ceci is traded next.
Look down the lineup.
1. We arent trading the core of McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, RNH, Ekholm, Bouchard or S.Skinner (too good of a cap hit).
2. Jackson isn't going to trade any of the guys he just signed in Skinner, Arvidsson, Janmark, Henrique, Brown, Perry, Stetcher, Brown or Pickard.
3. Broberg and Holloway are cheap contracts we can't afford to replace. Also trading Ryan doesn't help with the cap.
4. Nurse and Kane both have NMCs. I dont see either one wanting to waive.
That leaves Ceci and Kulak. I really don't see any reason to keep Ceci over Kulak at this point.
THERE HAS? Where?
You’re probably right but, devils advocate, are we in win now mode or not?
Holy shit. It's happening. I can feel it, it'll be real this time.DNB speculating about some TDL targets and mentioned Hall and Stauffer agreed he’d be a good target double retained.
Yes but we also have massive cap considerations coming and Savoie on an ELC could be a very cost effective add. “Win now mode” is for several seasons to come. Not just 24-25.
Honestly Ryan IMO is a 13th/14th forward at this point and so is the version of Perry that we saw in the playoffs.Wonder what the plan for 3/4C is. Perry is not an every game player, nor is Ryan. Have to think JJ shares the same opinion after watching them in the playoffs. Wouldn't mind a guy like Nick Cousins for cheap.
Completely forgot about Pederson. He very well might be the 4C.It's unfortunate Philp took the year off. He is a fast skater, and had something like 32 pts. in BAK the season he did play. Apparently he's been skating and working with junior guys in Canmore or wherever, but that's far away from the speed and skill of the apex NHL players. He would be a pretty decent 4C option right now.
Other than Pederson, no one else really jumps to mind. Ryan is not really an every day NHLer anymore I think. They will platoon him with someone else (this is where an older prospect like Philp would be an ideal partner to spell off Ryan at times).

I don't see the Oilers 4th line as the typical 4th line. I see them running 4 lines pretty evenly at 5 on 5 with maybe a few more minutes for the top 6. This team has too many good forward to run a traditional 4th line.No way Henrique will be our 4C. He is too good.
Nurse is not being traded this seasonAbsolutely NOBODY was trading for PLD either...until they did...w no kicker.
Never say never
I think that's just a number?No way Henrique will be our 4C. He is too good.
That would solve a lot of cap issues long term.Nurse is not being traded this season
That 4th line would be the best 3rd line on nearly 30 other teamsNo way Henrique will be our 4C. He is too good.
I wonder if Jackson actually sees both Perry and Ryan on the team next year. I don’t its a great idea personally.
Including our own :/That 4th line would be the best 3rd line on nearly 30 other teams
We don't know what Perry brought in the locker room. There is more to just on ice production.signing Perry above league min when not signing him at all was a valid option is the biggest headscratcher so far. Gagner has way better legs/ way more game left in him than Perry. Theres definitely budget UFAs that smoke em both. Id rather run Lavoie.
