These guys just need time to adjust? Roch has quite a bit of Russian talent next season. Time for these guys to show out.

I wonder if we can convince Poltapov to make the jump next year.

Funny, the oilers created plenty of good chances in games 1 and 3 but its somehow lack of depth speed and skill

Their top players aren't producing. Draisital at least when I've watched him this series has not been good. He's looked pretty slow to me.

I think their d-men have more goals this series than the forwards. edit, they have the same

I doubt Kisakov carries any value anymore, but Neuchev should, at least as a sweetner. I'd do that and probably try to battle over one of those picks. I'd still like to pick at 11 if we can muster it, spread the wealth and keep some good ELCs rolling through. But he's the RIGHT guy.
- QuinnFan

Would like to know who is on the Board at 11 before anything is done. Atleast in this kinda trade.

Edmonton should do for Mcdavid what the Sabres did for Reinhart and Eichel: Set them free via trade.

There's no point in having the ultimate superstar and a bunch of scrubs. They made it this far by accident and they are not close to winning anything. Plus they could get a HAUL back for #97.

I’d keep 97 for as long as he wants to stay.
They should do that with Draisaitl before McDavid.

Barkov and layers of defenders behind him. And then there’s Bob

You're right. But right now Mcdavid is Barry Sanders and Edmonton is the Detroit Lions.

Yeah, and it's tough to finagle this kind of deal in that short of a time period. You'd really have to have all your ducks in a row going into the draft.

Another interesting name popped up on HF. Not sure if they're actually available, but what do you think of Drake Batherson? I've always liked his style personally. Not a hard hitting player but plays big and boy can he shoot.

Yea they are in the cup final and went to a conference final 2 years ago it is not remotely the same situation

Getting rolled here is not indicative of their team imo. They are very good even if its top heavy. Perhaps just a goalie away from it being an extremely close series

Bobrovsky made a big time save on a draisaitl one timer last night. Big save on McDavid in the opening minute

Its the story of the series

Brings intangibles we need, and he won't trip over the Blueline atleast 3 times a game.

Think 32 teams have him on their target list at that price. Seems like there's at least one every year that stands out as bargain.

Big save on Broberg from 5 foot in front of the net, set up by McDavid about 5 minutes after Broberg scored late in the game as well

Yeah, more in line. If I was giving up those 3 players, 11 wouldn't be in the Conversations for me atleast
