    More likely with Stamkos than without lol. But still more likely in 2-3.

    How come no one is suggesting Stamkos resigns with Tampa? Is that out of the question?

    Tampa is only willing to offer him 8.5 mil per year

    Stamkos is going to go play in the KHL at this rate.

    Florida is interested because who knows how much longer Luongo is going to play.

    I wish I had changed my user name... Prestigious

    Just saw elsewhere that if Stamkos did sign a 7 year deal in Buffalo, that deal would just be expiring as Eichel and Reinhart's RFA years end. That's pretty crazy...I'm not 100% sure its accurate but if it is, that would be impeccable timing. Both turn 21 during the 2016-17 season and have just one season in, so I guess they'd be UFAs after the 2021-22 season (7 seasons and both would be 26). A 7 year deal for Stamkos would run through 2022-23.

    In a dream world that means ROR and Stamkos (if they somehow both stayed for the term of their deals) would be due to come off the books one year after Eichel and Reinhart are due huge deals. If Stamkos somehow signs here, I'm pretty sure they can find a way to make it all work.

    "only" 8.5 Million a year. 8.5 Million with a legit shot at winning a championship. He's had a rough first half in his career with the broken leg, blod clot and not winning the cup though. This second chapter could define his career. I'm hoping for the best for him.

    Unfortunately its probably not going away but your team is better with him than not. Its just going to suck when fans of whatever team gets furious because they're paying him so much and he isn't on the ice at times, they'll call him soft as charmin.

    lol Oilers had no choice but to draft another skilled forward this year. Poor them. They need defense/goaltending bad.

    They should trade some of those prospects for d

  18. They need to flip RNH for a defenseman. Roll with McDavid and Draisaitl as your top centers.

    Lucic - McDavid - Puljujarvi
    Hall - Draisaitl - Eberle

    Some combination of those guys will be tough for any team to stop. They can afford to let RNH go especially if it means upgrading their defense.

    Sekera - trade??
    Nurse - Demers

    They can flip Yakupov and RNH imo for some talent on their blue line.

    The fact the Oilers lucked into Poolparty is amazing for that management and team. They are now able to afford losing one of those top 6 forwards for a legit top 2 defenseman.

    If I was Oilers management, I'd be trying to sell Drai and Eberle over RNH and Hall but they could still get a good hall for any of them.

    Too bad he won't be having many of those in Edmonton

    Pool party plus Lucic added is huge. If they can swing some good D they're going to be different in a good way next season.
     
  24. Oilers - Canes SC rematch in a couple years???

    LOL the oilers need to make some key moves if they even want to make the playoffs.
