They need to draft a solid defence and goaltender. They need to trade RNH for a stud d-man, and draft a goalie who can be strong enough to win 16 games in the Playoffs. McDavid may be the best player in the NHL, but the team needs to learn to play as a unit, and get better defensively, and in net.

Further to this, I bumped a summer trade thread with Van/Edm, to further analyze their f***-ups. It's simple man..y'gotta' know when to move.

Nucker 67 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I guess they have a good problem? McGretzky will take a large chunk of the Cap, yes, and Drysaddle will take his large share as well. Lucic is expensive, and he won't want to waive. He signed there specifically to win many Cups with McGretzky over the next 7 years. I'll assume they'll have to trade a few of their high ends prospects for future picks, then insulate McGretzky and Co. with cheap plugs to fill out the roster. I can see Draisaitl trade to MTL for Price. Hope so, Price fits with their struggling environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Well, bringing in Montoya clearly worked to push Talbot - pulled after 2 periods after four soft goal against the Stars. What a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drai to Mtl(they've longed forever, for a top young C) Mtl sends: Galchucky/Gallagher(pick 1) & their 2018 1st R pick. EDM would have 2 shots at Dahlin. They could pick two primo young D(prob 2 outa' top-7 picks). Cap issues solved. McD, Pool & Nurse are so young..why the Hell not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Starting to wonder where McJesus fits into the upper crust of the league's best. Maybe there has been too much hype placed on the kid? Maybe he is a great, entertaining kid to watch. Just not a take me to the promised land, leader type, top three player in the world???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabychStache Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 hoo boy, this was their big window year and they didn't do enough to take it up to the next level. If i'm the GM in order: - Tell Messier to GTFO and go eat chips. - Un retire the Messier Jersey. - Trade Draisatl to the Canucks for Hutton. - Trade RNH to the Isles for Kulemin - Sign Kulemin to a 9 yr $76M contract with full NMC - Sign Hutton to a 10 yr $100M contract with full NMC - Trade my 2018,19,20,21 1st AND 2nd round picks for the rights to Nikita Tryamkin - Announce i am Canucks fan, but sometimes find myself cheering for the Isles for reasons unknown. - Get fired.

The_Rocket Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Seeing as how Nurse is their best Dman this year and he is RFA at the end of the season, I'd be shocked if he doesnt get signed for $4 mill+ per year. If this happens, The oilers would have 5 Defensemen making $4 million or more next, despite having one of the most mediocre D-cores in the Western Conference. oh yeah, and one of those Dman is Kris Russell who is the poor mans MDZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The McDavid contract would be fine if they didn’t have lucic + sekera + Russel taking up huge amounts of the cap with NTC. Can’t have it all!
