actually give up something of value and watch what difference it makes

Seems to thrown away so many futures for not much of an improvement. Plus really how does the cap work next year with Nurse getting 4m more, Klingberg 3m more, PJ, Yama, McLeod get raises, without dismantling the team.

the dallas deal makes 0 sense give what Klingberg is going to cost you on the open market. he's basically be a rental and that's a crazy price to pay for 2 rentals. I'd love chychrun but, that'd require holland being creative which just isn't realistic

Don't know how Klingberg & Chychurn aren't a massive improvment over Barrie & the rotating depth LD we've been using.

PJ will get a decent raise, Yamo wont (could get moved based off reports although I would like to keep him), McLeod wont. Klingberg will get a big raise.

Between Nurse, Klingberg & PJ, probably looking at 10mill in raises at least. Just need to hope and pray Keith retires lol (5.5 mill cleared + 3 mill in cap relief. Keith makes 1mill in real salary next season). Would be the only way the Keith trade wasn't a massive failure.

Coyotes say no they want something similar to the Brent Burns deal, A 1st, a young established forward, and a top prospect.

Yeah I know its a pipe dream. Would need to agree to parameters of an extension (7yr 8mill?), then hope and pray Keith retires since he only makes 1mill in real salary next season. Would be an 8mill cap swing for the Oilers. Extending Nurse after an unsustainable career year was a massive mistake, could have probably gotten him at 8x8 based on his play this year.

Yeah its a lot of hope. realistically oilers are more or less standing pat
