One more idea if they are serious about not wasting anymore money:
Do not let Alex Chiasson play another minute with Connor McDavid. If they keep letting him do that they're just going to continue inflating his stats, with an eventual demand for an expensive contract at the end of it all - in which no one but Edmonton would be stupid enough to pay.
The team should consider this season a write-off, Hitchcock should play him Bottom 9 (mostly bottom 6) and see if he can continue to perform without McDavid on the flank.
Half the problem for Edmonton is inflating the value of not-good players, and acquiring doofus after doofus with bad contracts.
