I don't know. Boeser looks like a serious talent. OV has certainly accomplished a lot more, but that isn't a fault of Boeser, it's his rookie season. Give him a few years and his accomplishments might compare rather favorably to the great 8.

That sucks for Jim Benning. My sympathy for his family's loss.

I guess that means we will get to see what could have happened if EDM kept their pick and took Boeser instead of giving it away for nothing.

No brainer, although it would have been classy to send the twins for a farewell tour seeing as they have been almost a point per game since the horvat injury.
It'll be a great story to go along with their resigning!

Oilers are a mess, hard to believe they have virtually nothing in there system. Yamamoto is the only good prospect I can think of.

Do you remember the old days when the Vancouver Canucks were playing at the Pacific Coliseum?
- Carol Schram

I remember going to a couple of games in the early 90s.

IIRC, you had to buy beer in the basement - which was also the only place where you could smoke.

So you were drinking beer in a thick haze of disgusting smoke.

Maple Leaf Gardens was much better - you had to buy your beer in an overcrowded hallway, in a thick haze of disgusting smoke.

Ah, good times.

Yup.... 8.5 per is looking like a2 to 3 million dollar overpayment right now....

In Edmonton's defence, they have to overpay.

It's the only way to get guys to stay.

And no, I'm not just taking a cheap shot at Edmonton here - it's the truth.

They're producing almost a point a game, if we're talking about a one year dea,l the comparables show that they're worth at least 8 million minimum.... each.

Toews gets 10.5 million, i could live with a three million discount and offer them 7 million each on a one year contract.

What's the same between these two things?
