I realize I'm in the wrong thread but if the view is that the Oilers are screwed because they have to pay their good players big money, well I just don't agree with that. No matter how many hypotheticals you run through. They're screwed until they show they can build a good team.

Yeah, I understood you meant after the hypothetical trades - I switched gears without being clear about it. FWIW I agree that teams can possibly succeed despite big money contracts, but they have to make Blackhawk type moves and find kids like Panarin, or steals like Anisimov.
