I’m sort of new to this site and also don’t follow Oilers that much. I did read that Chia wanted to “change the culture” on the roster to support McDavid. If the Blackhawks go full rebuild and blow up everything, while trying to get younger....just seeing what opinions your fan base would have. This is all just hypothetical and would mean players would accept NMC trade.

To Edmonton: C Toews, LW Saad, D Seabrook (or swap D Keith for LW Saad) plus some prospects/picks

To Chicago: LW Lucic, C Spooner, C Draisaitl, D Klefbom, RW Puljujarvi

Chicago would get younger in rebuild years. Edmonton would get rid of Lucic/Spooner contracts and get veteran championship players. Toews & Saad on 2nd line against other teams top lines and RNH slides up to LW with McDavid.

Anyway, I just thought I would see what Oiler fans’ opinions were on what they needed and if Blackhawks were “open for business”.

Might be the worst trade I've read on this site.

2 shots 11 minutes in

And 8 for LA.

This is getting ugly real fast.

This should put playoff talk to bed especially if this is how a team plays a must win game

This SHOULD also spell the end for Peter, but of course it won't.

Of course not....they will actually keep him employed till spring time....tho if rumours are true Nicholson might depart for the IIHF after the season

That's still being too nice.

The thing is, Chia may actually make such a trade.

Petrovic and Manning are -3 and -2 so far this game. That's what 'help' looks like.

After the 1st period the bottom 6 have 1 shot on goal in the last 4 periods play

Seabrook for Lucic? Bad contract for bad contract.

Nope. Virtually the same buyout with an extra year.

I knew Manning had a bad first period but after seeing those highlights.....(frank)ing brutal.....sit Benning tho

Don't remind me.

If compliance buyouts aren't part of the new CBA, we're (frank)ed.
