I hope you are right. If McDrai are as close as we are lead to believe I think they will be in close communication on their future plans. That is the hope Edmonton needs to hold onto. There likely won’t be a bear contending team with $30M of cap space and a winning roster to sign those guys in a couple years so that does give Edmonton a slight advantage. We need to hope they don’t win anything and do not see a clear path to winning so they move on.
Allegedly they are obsessed with winning so we have to hope that Ekholm’s hip and their goaltending remain an issue
