    Yeah I don't see why a good young players would ever choose CHL over NCAA. 

    You get 1 year of Post Secondary school paid for for every year in the CHL not sure the actual $$ figure per year is though. So he will get 4 years paid for plus whatever he has made playing pro hockey.

    No, you trade them all if you are rebuilding.  
     

    You don’t sign Miller and Boeser in the first place because they aren’t going to be producing by the time the team is ready to compete.  A 34-37year old Miller is unlikely to be worth $8 million a year.

     

    Boeser is a UFA before most of those guys, so that part doesn’t even make sense.

    You do need players and hit the cap floor.  From the sounds of it Boeser and Miller you would need to retain to get value for them however if you traded Pettersson, Hughes or Demko (a little bit less so) you would have an absolute lineup wanting them and a bidding war these are the players that strike a rebuild not Miller or Boeser they are the guys you keep in a rebuild.

    Hard to play effective D when the goalie is stopping pucks at about .840

    guys then tend to push out too far and take away shots that they shouldn’t need to.  Creates gaps (seems) and causes other players to run around too.  We need Demko to be Bubble Boy.

    I'll settle for average NHL goaltending from Demko, he's been bad this season.

    Even with the injuries, we still have actual NHLers.  The only guy they have who has any business playing at this level is a gutless flopper who puts more effort into cheapshots than into playing the game.  The rest of their group simply aren't capable of playing in their own zone to an acceptable standard.  While we mostly have bottom pairing guys, they're still better than the pylons Edmonton uses.

    I mean they are both pretty poor defenses but if they keep nurse and we keep Hughes and swap everyone else I take the Oilers defense.

    And Edmonton is even worse. At least we don't have Barrie and Bouchard refusing to even try to stop playing like trash in their own zone.  Same goes for the Leafs with Rielly, Liljegren, and Sandin.  All of our callups are far better than any of those useless pylons.

    Umm i would take Edmonton's defense over ours in a heartbeat.
