Honestly Edmonton should just put their cards down on the table, fold, wait out salary hell for a couple yearse, apologize to fans for the OBC and everything up until this point, and give them all free tickets the rest of this season and possibly next.

At his cap hit and injury history, not to mention his level of play when he actually did play the last couple years? No, I'd say he has negative value. Not as much as, say, Lucic... but still negative value.
Honestly, who on the Oilers doesn't? McDavid (although you could certainly argue he is probably paid a $1m too much), Drysaddle (definitely paid too much to be a complimentary winger to McD), and Nuge (decent dollar finally for an OK 2nd line center or very good 3rd line center). You could maybe take a flyer on Klef (not overpaid necessarily, but a decent number 3 and made of glass) and Nurse (overpaid for what he is today, and you'd have to believe you could turn him into something more than an average bottom pairing guy).
Really, I wouldn't take a single one of their D for any of the top 7 D Calgary has, and they only have 3 forwards anyone would take at all.
