Let's not forget the time he trade Seguin for erikson,smith and morrow. Or blake wheeler for peverely. All in all he just makes really solid trades, how does this man have a job in hockey is the real question.

True. Are you an Oiler fan? If so what do you think of the lines

It would have been Shattenkirk, but he said he wouldn't sign there. Consider yourself lucky you don't have to deal with Shatty

That makes a signing slightly more difficult doesnt it

I doubt we were looking at Juulsen at 16th when he was rated late 1st to early 2nd, it was said they looked at Svechnikov, Chabot and Samsanov. But Barzal was pretty much a bonafide Top 7 pick if it weren’t for his injuries, I think they still woulda picked him if he’s there at 16 when Chia picks

Chabot is LHD though, doesnt fit a need with both Klefblom and Nurse. Chychrun was also a higher pick were it not for injuries. But injuries tends to make GM's think twice.

Maybe you are right, but I think we should have been looking for a RHD, and traded down if necessary

*edit* goalie with 1st seems a waste too

The trade would have been a sign and trade Hall for Shattenkirk, but Shatty said he would not sign in EDM.

Let’s not forget Barzal. Kids a tank
