Perhaps a little OT, but an Oiler fan friend of mine said that if they get the 1st overall again this year he would trade it straight up for OEL. Arizona drafts Matthews, and the Oilers get the franchise d-man they sorely need.
One problem though, I can't imagine that Arizona would give up OEL, even for Matthews. Their defense is atrocious without OEL, and I don't know of any prospects they have in the pipe that would be able to replace his minutes.
I kind of dismissed his proposal immediately, because hey...he's an Oilers fan and they're stupid, but is this far-fetched? Can anyone see this happening?
