I suppose they could sign Subban for about $1M, and drop Broberg or Koekkoek off. But they can't sign Kessel unless they move out a forward.
Surely Staples is just flat out trolling with that post

Oh the oil fan's sure believe in themselves, though I don't know if that means there is chatter or people just keep repeating what they hear making it seem like it's more than it actually is.
I have seen recently being spouted off by various oil blogs/forums that both will take near league minimum to play in Edmonton. The one I stumbled across yesterday stated that they could flip JP on his super team friendly contract for a middle six ELC prospect and a draft pick or two. I don't know a fanbase more in love with it's own players than Edmonton.
Now because bodog is saying that's where the odds are, it must be happening. And everyone knows that players only go to their most rumored location, which is why I invested heavily in Gaudreau Philly Jerseys and Tkachuk blues jerseys.
My guess is that both guys want 2-3 million or more, and bodog knows odds are only the oilers are dumb enough to move out cost controlled pieces to sign overpriced vets. The odds say those two sign in Edmonton, not that they sign good deals for Edmonton.
