Oiler fans would lose their minds, which is reason enough to want to see it.

But if you think about it (as an Oiler fan, I mean), 5 years would suck on the surface, but it would mean a lower cap hit. Essentially it would shorten the window but open that window a little wider.

If you were an Oiler fan, would you accept that trade-off?
