Say what? The season literally ended two days ago. Free agency hasn't started yet and bought out players can't be signed until July 5. Talk about high expectations...

I don't have any expectations at all. NHL GM's dragging their feet post-salary cap is just par for the course. They're incapable of operating within it (for the most part).

We need a trade already, I have never heard so many scattered unsubstantiated rumors. 3 deals done, rumors all over, but, I see nothing happening.

Same crap every year. Then when a GM does make a trade, people question why they didn't wait until after the draft as they now missed out on Couturier dropping.
That and there are meetings today.

and again...
I honestly thought Gagner+#7 for Oleksiak was a joke by Staples. If he's serious then wow... some of the crazy proposals here are much more realistic.
That's essentially trading:
(1)- The Oilers 2nd line centre (regardless of how highly reharded he is here... he is undeniably the default #2C on the Oilers and with RNH out with surgery until xxx and Horcoff and Belanger very likely gone, Gagner is the only NHL quality C on the team. They have Smithson (likely gone as well), Lander (4th line at best) and I guess Ryan Smyth after that.
(2)- #7 which will draft Monahan/Lindholm/Nichushkin/Nurse... who could very well become the future 2 way #2C OR a very solid top six big winger they badly need on the roster OR a big physical dman in the same mold as Oleksiak.
In short.. WAY too much to give up.. and I agree, either asset alone would be an over-payment at this stage considering how valuable that #7 is and how Gagner is "IT" currently as far as centres go on this team.
Again for dramatic effect... trading Gagner away and then also dealing Horcoff/Belanger + having RNH miss even a few weeks to start the season (likely).. would mean something like this on the roster:
Lander
Smyth
Arcobello
VandeVelde
I expect the Oilers to sign another C or 2 if that's the case but even so, MacT has to acquire those centres before dumping Gagner because if he strikes out in other trades or on the UFA market... it's a titainic like trip to the basement for the next several years. (Not that we aren't used to that but some of us would like to see a playoff game in our lifetime again.)

lol sorry I didn't make my self clear...I meant Offseason in general...entire league...not just the oilers...I don't know about you but all these buyouts are great entertainment to see where these players will land.
I've already been massively disappointed for many years with the oilers but doesn't mean I will stop hoping for better things to come.
If I did, I might as well give up and stop being a hockey fan if you think that way.
(not directed at you but generally) It is exhausting to be bitter all the time so i say screw it and always wish for the best.
How many of us would trade Gagner and 7th overall for Tyler Myers? One or the other maybe, not both!

Oleksiak sucks. Not worth both alone, definitely not both combined. This Gardiner straight up for RNH on main boards is insanity.

Not that I'd want to move from Tampa Bay to Edmonton, but as a pure hockey decision Vinny would look good in Oiler silks. 33 year vet Center, 6' 4" 220lb. Played with kids for years and although his stats nowadays are around 50-60 pts / season, he'd still be a phenomenal C on our team.
Just thinking out loud.

I've been following Nielson on twitter since he joined 1260 a few years back...he has never broken any oilers news ever.

Should be able to get Bolland for less than that. They need to move him to sign Leddy and bits parts, plus Crawford the year after. I think I read that 2nd round picks are the big currency this year (MacT?). Should be able to get him for Lander and a so-so prospect/or 2nd + prospect. MPS is WAY overpaying!
Clutterbuck is similar, I heard Pitlick rumored.... Pitlick + Omark's rights?
Bolland would be good. I'd love to see RNH, Peverly, Bolland and Gordon/Hendricks/(Lander if he's not dealt) for centers.......

I'm an equal opportunity hater.
Locally, I'll take Stauffer and Tencer over any of the 1260 guys as much as I dislike Millhouse.
