It seems like every team in the league is interested in signing Oleksiak. High demand. He's going to get paid. Likely between 4-4.5 mil AAV.

Blues do not have the cap room to sign him unless they trade someone.

Krug Faulk Parayko Mikkola Dunn??? Walman Bortz


There’s 7 right there. I don’t prefer taking scraps from teams that we have beaten inthe playoffs. Seems to me like a step in the wrong direction

No. He's not a good enough player. The reason he has so many hits and blocked shots is bc he gets beaten to the puck more often than not. With his reach he should catching more pucks, possessing the puck more often and consequently hitting less and blocking less shots.

What the hell is wrong with this team? Our defense sucked last year. Couldn’t score on offense and Binner played average at best most of the time. Goalie has to do with the defense but no puck possession. No offense attack time. Too many turnovers. What the hell. We go from last to 1st back to last??

The big O is like a younger Marco Scandella, but only slower.

Yep. I know people in position to have some knowledge on it believe the Avs will pursue him heavily if he makes it to market.
