Was chatting with an Oiler fan (a rational one) on the weekend, and the Koneckny rumour came up. I said 'assuming Philly would trade him (but why would they?), what could the Oilers offer? And how would they fit him under the cap?
His response: it would have to include Yamamoto. And maybe Foegele.
Okay, but Foegele is a UFA and thus has no value. And why would Philly trade their best player for Yamamoto? It would have to include Holloway, Broberg and a 1st. Or something equivalent.
His response was: no way the Oilers would do that.
Okay, but you can't buy a Porsche with Walmart coupons.
