Dallas, LA, Anaheim, Chicago, Colorado, St. Louis. That leave the rest of the conference to battle for 2 spots if (heaven forbid) edmontons young guns don't figure it out. Canucks best days are done, we are completely (frank)ed and no one wants to sign here. Miller isn't that bad of a FA pickup considering the rest of the league knows this team is or will be poop in the near future & won't come here willingly. 7-10 year rebuild after Miller is done, unless Benning is a magic man.

All I konw is we don't have a legit second line. We have a first, two thirds and possibly a fourth line. Don't see how we get into the playoffs barring more changes or some of our kids somehow making the lineup and being game breakers.....

I'm not sure that we have the pieces that Benning could even make something work.

A little too stark. What makes this a 7 to 10 year re-build rather than a 3-4 year one. All they need is some of the younger guys to develop and a few more high picks. Maybe then a free agent or two at the right time. That's how the Chicagos and LAs have done it. I do think Miller is a waste of free agent money however.

I wish we got Mitchell but it looks like he took the retirement contact in sleepy 'ol Florida where he can spend the final years of his career in obscurity.

I mean, he won a cup (or two) what else does he need to prove?

Good signing

Lack and Tanev for Nino

Only Daniel is.

Maybe Lack is not part of Bennings long term thoughts

That's fine but they need to trade him soon then

nino looked good in the post season, was surprised.

He's not worth the 4.25 cap hit at this point. Good luck in Florida.

Even Minny improved today. I just don't see a spot for us to take unless it is from the Sharks

Good signing

What does an Oilers fan know about a good signing?

I disagree. While there were times where Chicago and LA took their #1s.. they both rebuilt as they were winning... not before. Neither was afraid to hire fire anyone. THATS the secret to a quick rebuild. No one is safe at anytime. The jersey Crest comes first and the players second.
