I found it! Peak No Goodness! The kind of NG that demonstrates that most of the coiler fans have no understanding of how being a GM works outside of video games. When news is boring, HF is a goldmine of empty hopes and dreams by the fans of team toilet seat.
It's hard to pick a best part of the below but some of the highlights include:
-The only push back is the ducks would probably want more (so upgrade the pick and toss in another prospect is the solution)
-In what is considered one of the deepest drafts in years, the oilers would not pick until the 5th round, and would only pick 13 (or 12 if they made the final) out of their next 21 picks, assuming they don't trade more picks for a rental later on in the year.
-The math doesn't actually work out as retaining 25% of 28 million in contracts is 7 million and they are trading 7.5, plus 414k over the cap. Meaning they still can't sign McLeod without sending someone down to the minors, and the only waiver exempt contract they have is Broberg, who many of their fans have claimed will become a major part of their D core this year. Furthermore, they would still be accruing no cap space, meaning any deadline deals dear Kenny makes are gonna be further stripping out the future, as he would need to be moving bad money out to make any room, which costs picks and prospects.
I think P Kane is still an excellent hockey player. Toews I don't think can make as much impact, and while Klingberg would easily be their best D, I don't think he revamps them into a defensive powerhouse. Not to mention this would require 3 players waiving trade clauses to go to Edmonton, as well as Winnipeg desiring 2 years of Barrie.
