Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | With Klingberg in the Mix Who Are Our 7D After the Deadline?

That 2nd line hasn't been good for the Oilers. Podkolzin is -7 in his last 7 games. I didn't even realize that

Let's get some actual finishers into the top 6, shall we?

Henrique - McDavid - Hyman
Saad - Draisaitl - Kane
Podkolzin - RNH - Arvidsson
Janmark/Skinner - Philp - Perry/Brown

Im done with Podz in the top 6.

And he generates nothing.

so Calgary gives up more assets and cap space to get marginally better with a couple more vanilla players

I guess when you're scratching and clawing for 8th every year, this is "home run" in their eyes

Fun fact Henrique McDavid Hyman was our top line going into the playoffs last year. Only broke up because Henrique got hurt in the LA series.

My prediction on the Saad situation (echoing what hated Oilersnation media guy Yaremchuk said): Saad gets sold on the injuries plaguing the Golden Showers depth and he signs with them. If Saad struggles out of the gate with the Oilers, they have options to push him to the pressbox, Veg-ass does not, and surely Saad and his agent know it

They'll have to make a trade for more forward depth, IMO.

Klingberg saw an opportunity here to get ice time with a giant hole after Bouchard. It wasn't just play to for a contender
