At even strength*. 11 total.
What cost is too high for you? 2, 3, 4, 1st rounders? Curious what people expect when they make these kind of statements

And when do you think the Oilers should go all in? They certainly aren’t winning without an upgrade on defence.
So should we be content just throwing away another McDrai year? How long does drai have left until he’s a FA?

If I was GM, I would make some calls about Mayfield and I would pay the price for Chychrun.
Chychrun Ceci
Nurse Mayfield
Kulak (whoever we haven't had to trade)

Have you stats to support this, or is it just like your opinion, man?

I'll answer, looks like you are afraid to.
We need to be challanging when the big boys have their contracts up fro renewal. Go all in now and have nothing in the tank when their contracts are up, what is the reason for them to stay? Future would then look grim.
Next year Broberg, Holloway, Skinner and I'll throw Kostin in here, are a year older, more experienced and those guys will not b expensive.
That is when.
Rangers stopped speaking about Kane when the Blackhawks wanted a 2023 1st. That is how good this draft is. Every 1st rounder is a NHL player in the future.
Your turn...

Only 12 goalies this season have a 915 or better save percentage. And only 10 have a 2.50 or less GAA. I would say his assessment is accurate.
You can make a deal for players that aren't rentals you know, right?
The Oilers are just gonna draft some dunce with their 1st anyway, they've had how many 1st round picks in the last 15 years? Which one of them are actually that good outside of top 5 picks (really more accurately top 3 picks)?
Mid-Late 1st round picks are overrated IMO, you can find quite often similar players in the 2nd or 3rd round.
McDavid and Draisaitl aren't going to give a shit about some 18 year old when their contract is up unless it's like a Bedard tier superstar in waiting player.
The Islanders grabbed Barzal and that still didn't impress Tavares enough to want to stay. Players don't care about that shit, they just see some kid that might be good, might not be, they're not making career decisions on a prospect pool unless they see players there with superstar potential.

Vegas Just put Stone on LTIR, wonder if they are making a move soon.

SPEEN!
I have no attachment to first round picks at this point, especially with a few of them on the roster making little impact.
I'm good with a guy with term, but at what cost? I'm waiting for a logical answer
I wonder how much of this chart is influenced by the bottom 10 teams being absolute garbage defensively so their goalies are just hung out to dry.
Probably do the Tampa move. These f****ers are going to load up. Probably get Kane+

Depends on the player. But 1st round picks are overrated, this team can't even draft for shit in the 1st round unless it's a top 3 gimme anyway.
They're going to get Patrick Kane and then re-activate Stone who will have a miracle recovery for game 1 of the playoffs.
Watch Vegas land kane and Karlsson.
I would be pissed then hahaha
I would be pissed then hahaha
And are these primarily the top teams in the league? If those are 12 different starters I don't see how it makes the assessment accurate.

Of course they will because they are Vegas, NHL head office most loved team and trying everything in their power to give them the cup.
wouldn't be surprised if NHL is steering SJ & Chicago to only deal with Vegas.

Lol unnecessary pissy post but ok let’s go. Depends on the player. A top pairing D? Oooh sky is the limit.
Yeah I’m sure more Yam, JPs, XBs and Holloways will keep McDrai here after we get spanked in the first round.
Hilarious.
We need to win or get real bleepin close in the next 2 years or they are gone and then we really aren’t winning.

If Vegas gets Kane it's quite smart. Have to hand it to them, they are always aggressive on the market. They've had more playoff success than anyone in the Pacific and are probably going to win the division (again), more division wins than any other Pacific team since joining the league.
Hard to argue with that track record.

Sorry, it was an older chart so I erased it. I will post it here for reference. "Garbage defensively" and goalies "hung out to dry," so like the Oil?
The chart:
Kane yes but Karlsson’s extra years are going to make it too hard for Vegas to fit in going forward.
Don't think they would have the picks anyway.
Kane will probably cost them a similar price to O'Reilly, how many more 1sts are even left for a Karlsson deal.
