I wouldn't be surprised if the price for Talbot was a 1st, for the Oilers anyway. I said it before and I'll say it again, there are 29 GMs out there that are NOT going to be cutting the Oilers any breaks at the trade table, it will be quite the opposite IMO. Their desperation permeates the air like a teenage boy trying to find a date to the prom, rivals will surely look to capitalize on this. Everyone and their dog knows what the Oilers need, and no one is going to help them out without making them pay through the nose. Enjoy McDavid Edmonton, no one is going to want to help you build a team around him. Now would probably be a good time to figure out that whole drafting thing...
