Provost Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 2 hours ago, CRAZY_4_NAZZY said: Oilers maintain cap space and get two mid round picks. They are going to be dangerous players at the TDL this coming season. If the mandate is to win the next 2 seasons, they are going to use that draft capital and accrued cap space to ensure McDavid and Draisaitl have two deep cup runs. Sucks in the long term, but this makes a load of sense for them to let Holloway and Broberg go. … aren’t they basically right at the cap now with just enough for short term injury call ups? This saves them from being over the cap as I have read it. I miss Capfriendly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 It is funny how fast the Oiler fans went from “We will of course be matching on these young studs”… to “these players are trash and we are glad to be rid of them”. I would probably be the same if it had been us in that boat, but I would expect other fans to laugh at our predicament. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked considerably better than Ceci on defense. Playing on one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podzolkin on the Oilers: Lol, he’s pretty much in the bust territory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was listening to 650 today, with one guy saying he doesn't think it hurt EDMs chances much, but I don't see how. Maybe they have some kind of deal in the works to move Kane, a ton of picks, for a defensive upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podz may impress with the right opportunity this year and may be the right catalyst for Perry and Henrique. That defense though... Woof Looks pretty bad. Let's see if the oilers can outscore their troubles on D. We all know that's a great recipe for the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, your robbing Peter to pay Paul as losing Kane would take the grit out of the top 6 and I would think more liberties would be taken on Mcdavid draisaitl nuge and Hyman without a guy who plays with his screw lose like Kane. Not like anybody on D can do much to fight back besides Nurse. They are alrwady soft but losing Kane would make them softer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
