I’d offer the same to Kyle Connor if the space was there.

Should offer sheet young Matthew for fun

Or they wanted more $ and/or term while negotiating with Edm and were willing to take less with the teams they signed to. Apart from rumors that the Oil met with Connolly we really have no (frank)ing clue which is why placing judgement on such blind speculation is really just useless for evaluating management.

We have Connor (frank)ing McDavid. How could you not want to come and play on his wing???

No 1st better be in play. Those are future 1st overalls

I tend to agree. Van better hope to be in the playoffs within the next two years.

Ask Lucic.

Didn't work out so well for him and now he is in the news saying he wants out. That doesn't sell well for potential FAs who are basically applying the same rational that Lucic did.

I could see a trade for a top 6 guy being the end of the story. Unless Jurco is that top 6 guy.
- RonPielep

In the AHL sure but if Holland does a deal for Zucker or something along those lines that would work

Maybe Gus had no interest in the Canadian tundra.

Can’t be worse then living in Detroit right?

Lucic can’t skate. Big difference.

If you move it for a top-6 forward, it likely won't be.

Columbus is probably preferable to Edm for a Swedish millionaire.

Sorry friend.

Is it because we successfully resurrected Iggy from the dead last night?

Point being there is no guarantee who they sign gets to play with McDavid and even if they do there is no guarantee it is a good match that works out.

So I think the 'McDavid's winger' draw is a lot less impactful than the 'our franchise is an unstable disaster with a new GM/coach every year' deterrent.

Yeah we summoned him into the Hallfan Draft Blog.

If you say Iggy loves Chia three times in the mirror he will show up and murder you.

The McDavid factor doesn’t work when your franchise is a laughing stock every single year....until they can start making the playoffs consistently there isn’t much more to sell guys on

Probably chias biggest supporter when he first signed with the oil.

I'm so tired of this team. Being an Oilers fan is exhausting.

Jesus Christ. You guys are getting (frank)ed over.
