Where they find the cap space to sign Bouchard is another story. I’d laugh if he signed an offer sheet.

Lots of skill up front, bottom 10 D core and Goal combo. Not a great cup contention mix.
If you look at all cup winners, the one thing every cup winner had was a good team defence with a really good defence. Edmonton doesn’t have that

They should put their 3 youngest forwards together and call them 'the kid line'.
Draisaitl-Mcdavid-Podkolzin
It's hard to believe there's a team with only 3 forwards under 30 and those guys are 28, 27 and 23. I guess the consolation is they're loaded with top prospects, The future sure is bright lol

I would call them the 'cup or bust line'

I rather zadorov at 5 mil. Bigger and tougher and higher IQ, while being almost 50% cheaper while signing his contract when cap is going up.
Nurse is a top four D man. Zadorov is a bottom pairing guy who finds himself in the press box every season. Both are bad. I guess Zadorov is the lesser of two evils because he’s paid less.

Nurse is a top 4 dman in the AHL. He would not be a top 4 Dman even on Canucks who have a thin blueline

Nurse is paid like a top 2, plays like a 5/6.
