How much can they overpay for a suter? How about a staal or McDonough from nyr? It is time for a bold move already. They have SIX top 5 picks in their forward crop. I don't see why how a hall+Eberle or rnh doesn't buy you immediate d help. Either the rest of the league sees too little value in these forwards in which case the rebuild is truly a joke for the ages or the oiler brass over values these guys which would fall in line with the foregone conclusion that oilers management are flat out stupid.
What a joke of a franchise.

established d men like these guys more than likely have some No trade clause, and these guys arent waiving to go to edmonton, even with Mcdavid. they need to go for the young developing guys.
