Any of you guys have any other suggestions??????

Yeah? What would you be willing to part with to acquire those pieces AND change the culture of the team?

If you don't think Perron and Schultz will get it done and I respect your opinion so what is it?
- Jeropotato

Yandle + Vermette/Hanzal

Tyutin + Anisimov

Different costs for each of course. The latter package, which is cheaper, involves a worse team, and involves players less valuable to the team, seems especially plausible. I dunno whether those two would change the culture. In fact, Anisimov is somewhat inconsistent in terms of offensive output.

I do know they could stabilize positions of weakness, and undoubtedly be excellent depth players for us if/when we get other players in place.

Sorry, thats me

Here's you

Trade our first round draft pick right now while it is high (Every team probably thinks we are crashing and burning, and everyone thinks/knows that Mcdavid is going to be a franchise star). We can still turn the season around. We got 60 games left. If MacT can do it, he can pull of one of the biggest game changing trades in Hockey History. Let me explain (It might be a long shot, but we can all agree that we want to see playoff action, the time when Rexall Place is the loudest place on earth):

Step 1:

2nd Round Draft pick + Ference + Yakupov = Seguin (add a 2017 2nd Rounder if Dallas counters)

Yakupov was and is the odd puzzle out of this top 6. He has the potential, but he just isn't fitting into the group (Was a big supporter for Ryan Murray). We get Tyler Seguin, whom is very acquainted with Hall and RNH. He will fit in quite well. The 1 or 2 2nd draft picks make this deal a great one for Dallas especially since this draft might be the best one in a Decade. A decade ago, you saw Pavel Datsyuk buried in the 7th round. Ference as captain is just not working out and he is alright in defense, but we have tons of top 4 defensemen. We all have agreed that this is Hall's team. He is the turning corner of this team.

and then

1st Round Draft Pick + Petry + Musil = Seabrook + Hjal

Might look like the worst trade ever, but lets remember that that 1st Draft pick could become a franchise star (Even though Chicago already has one). Petry is a good top 4 defenseman, but we have tons of those that are going to start popping up later on (Nurse, Marincin, Klefbom, Gernat possibly). We need elite-consistent defense from the best and Seabrook provides it. Hjal, however might be the turning point on how this trade might play out as he still hasn't shown what he truely has to offer, only glimpses of potential (Had one hell of a good playoff run). We would need to waiver Luke, Pini, and Aulie in order to pass the trade.

Step 2:

Change the Scouting Staff and retool it in a way that models the Detroit's style of scouting.
For this year, scout mainly on Goalies and focus on looking for that elite late boomer. It might be harder than catching fly's with chopsticks, but it is possible (Ask Daniel).

Step 3:

Hire Mark Messier as a Associate Coach and fire Acton. (Let both of the Actons go). Messier was a hard-working, consistent player. I think he has the potential to impact that on the Players. The main reason why Gretzky didn't do well as a coach was because he was more Talent gifted than hard-working. Messier was the heart and soul of the Oilers in 1991. In fact, it would be very, very interesting to see Messier as a Head Coach and Gretzky as an Associate Coach. Messier would teach and influence the players with hardwork and playing with a passion, while Gretzky could fine the edges on the players and give them a more tactical and technical apporach (Gretzky was all tactics, especially behind the net).

Step 4: Win the Cup.

All of this can be done. It can be done! For some of the trades, it might take 1 or 2 more draft picks, but we are DONE DRAFTING, SAY IT WITH ME, WE ARE DONE DRAFTING. We wouldn't need any high draft picks for the next 5-6 years (We got Big K, Yak2, Chase, and more offense. Our defense pool is amazing depth wise) as long as we draft smart (Liek the red wings) and we don't jsut go with the concensus.

In the end, our lineup could look like this in JUST 1-2 WEEKS:

Hall-Seguin-Purcell
Perron-RNH-Eberle
Arco-Leon-Pouliot
Joensuu-Gordon-Hendricks

Seabrook-Hjal
Marincin-Fayne
Schultz-Nikitin

Scrivens
Fasth

Any thoughts?
Please no hate, I jsut want to see a change in this team as much as any other Oiler fan would want to.
- EdmHockeyMan

I'm going to give you hate. Both trade proposals are ludicrous and would just end in a dial tone for MacT. Chicago is NOT going to give up their #2 AND #3 for a 1st rounder. You'd have to give at least the 2015 1st+ for Seabrook and probably a 2016 1st or 2015 + 2016 seconds+ for Hjal.

And Seguin would cost you Yak + Ebs. Seguins is considered a franchise player in Dallas' eyes.
