Sounds like Seattle taking Kings D Kurtis MacDermid

I really hope Canucks get Hyman . I don't expect a lot of goals by him but instead a lot of tenacity and a solid two way game . That would be a very good top 9 .

When I see rosters set up with Highmore Zack Roussel Hawyrkluk Motte I face palm. God I hope they are all gone.

Not a fan of Hyman, but that is probably because of my strong dislike for anything Leafs.

I can live with a couple guys on your list but this team definitely needs to upgrade the bottom of the roster and a huge upgrade on defense.

Look forward to seeing Podkolzin, going to impress a lot of people, on his work ethic alone.

Oilers signed 39 year old Mike Smith to two year contract

This makes my day! Oh Lordy!

He wasn't until this past year. His numbers defensively were incredible. No matter how you spin it, it's a loss for Edmonton.
- Codes1087

Again I just find it funny how many were all over the Hall/Larsson trade and Larsson took so much trash talk but now that's he's moved on from EDM it's a 'big loss'. Just funny is all lol

Nathan Bastian from New Jersey

They got their defensive forward/agitator.

They will learn from that sweep and three of those games were OT that could have went either way

They were the best team in Canada at 81 points when the flu thingy hit and 'technically' there should have been no 'play in round'. It's not their fault the league manufactured that stupid play in round lol
- LordHumungous

That's a lot of excuses for having the "Two best players in the league". Such a shame Edmonton is wasting McDavid's career.

Yes K-Man??

Seattle is poised to be a good team. Vancouver is still treading water in the bottom half of the league. At least they extended Pearson.
- Marwood

Meh, Seattles’ forwards are pretty awful and their goaltending is average at best. They will suck with Vancouver rivals

- LordHumungous

Hall for larsson will always be a running joke as it was a loss for Edmonton. If larsson played like he did last year, when he first got to Edmonton, it wouldn't have nearly been as lopsided a trade as it was imo.

Would you rather have Barrie at 50 points per year (plus Keith) or keep Larsson to be injured all the time for 5 more years. It's actually a good thing Larsson moved on from the Oil. Past few seasons he's battled a few nagging injuries too.

Guess it depends on how you approach it. Yzerman spent ten years in Detroit before he got his first sniff of the cup. Many said at that time he was wasting his career there too. Time will tell.

Kraken staying away from domi

Picking a prospect bayreuther instead.

I liked the trade for Edmonton, at that time. I take a solid defender over a one dimensional offensive player, all day long.
If I had my way, I would have a roster of 23 defensive specialists.😁

Still need one guy for top 9 . I have been a fan of Pod since day one.

Kurtis MacDermid is a great pick. He’s a bodyguard that can go toe to toe with guys like Reaves

I was pleasantly surprised he was available.

Can't understand why Larsson signs that deal at this point in time.

I get he wants out of EDM, but surely he could have fielded better offers during free agency?

Hell, even if he absolutetly only wanted to play and live in Seattle, he could have used the leverage of other deals to up his paltry $4M offer??? And at four years, that essentially takes him straight past his prime and into his decline, meaning it could very well be his last contract in the league.

Looks like he's got a terrible (frank)ing agent.
