My feeling is if you think you have to explore other options, you don't have the right coach. With the right coach. it is not needed to put it to the test.

As I said that’s not the only way of thinking.

That trade doesn't make Edmonton better now so I don't think they would do that.
- FlyerFan16


I don't see Edmonton doing it either, but I can see RNH getting traded next year. He has 2 years left and is tired of not having linemates and Edmonton can not afford to have him walk as a UFA.

Edmonton is in a tough spot, any value they have they most likely want to keep or if they trade them then they go sideways unless they only trade picks and prospects.

Those options are viable, but I feel sorry for the team that has to sign Hayes for 7M per. They are going to be very underwhelmed and disappointed. Would love to add him, but at that cost no way.

I just don't see Edmonton trading Nurse unless it brings back someone who can fill his spot like Sanheim or Myers.

- Glak18


Agree, Hayes would not be my first choice. Edmonton is completely unpredictable as to what they may do. There was an article yesterday about getting rid of Draitsatl for salary concerns. New GM coming, anything is possible up there.

Connor McDavid didn't turn the Oilers into a top team so how is Hughes supposed to turn the devils into a contender?? Lol
- bulet13


Actually the Devils have a pretty good foundation and play as a team. Adding scoring with Hughes makes them more dangerous. Adding more speed with Hall combined with their work ethic could be a nightmare. Then add in a couple D prospects making the jump and Quenneville and Mcleod (more skating) to the mix and finally the emergence of Blackwood.

They could be a solid TEAM team in a couple years, not just a paper superstar like the Flyers.

I think RNH is a good target and agree Edmonton is in a bind. You're right they're going to want players and not picks. And probably looking to unload additional salary.

I highly doubt Draisaitl is going anywhere.

To be fair, them traded FOR hall as opposed to trading him away certainly won’t hurt their efforts in comparison

Been busy and not in the mindset lately to deal with the poop show. You don't have to call me anything. We can call our bet satisfied.

That’s fabulous. So what do you think....next season succeeds by showing improvement-playoffs and win a round or else they truly blow it up? Backed into a corner now. Everyone should be rooting for Fletcher’s offseason success (blow it to bits folks aside.)

My only issue with RNH is his value is very high after a career year this year. That factored with the available centres on the market make me want to test UFA first.

So how come we can't become a solid team with players like Frost, farabee, Cates, Allison, ratcliffe, and Zamula in the mix? We didn't suddenly blow our chances of being a good team by not picking in the top 2. poop we have a no2 overall pick who hasn't done poop in his two years here

Colorado is in the playoffs and have the 4th overall pick. Not to bad if you ask me.
- FlyerFan16


Colorado dropped from 1st to 4th. That sucks. I think you missed the point.

Failing franchise wins #1 pick again
