If people enjoy getting delirious about this stuff, that's cool. But I hope those people have the decency not to mock Oilers fans who do the same thing. If wild-eyed projections look goofy on them, they look goofy on us.
No, we wouldn't. We acknowledged the high end talent of Toffoli and respected potential acquisition costs in trade proposals. Gaudreau is miles ahead of Toffoli in potential. He is one of the most talented prospects to come along in a decade and he has show that at every level. Nothing to be ashamed of, unless you have embraced that inferiority complex DFF referenced.

When the Oilers have a player of this skill AND character we will let them talk smack. Until then there is nothing goofy going on.
