No. Thanks. Not. Ever.
Side pieces, sure. Main pieces. Never.
Edmonton is No Good.

Totally understand the fear of making the Oilers better, but Jeff Marek's job is to sensationalize hockey stories, especially in Canadian markets. I'm going to take his opinion that the Oilers are just one piece away from winning it all this season with a gigantic grain of salt. Unless we are giving them Markstrom and 2 defensemen I think we're ok.
I said this in the E=NG thread but I'll put it here as well, IMO whichever team is lucky enough to get their hands on the Oilers 1st round pick this year will be the envy of the league. You just know they're going to make a panic move before too long. Oilers will have to ship off a contract with a 1st to have any hope of adding to their roster, I hope it's the Flames that can make that deal just to get our hands on that top 10 pick, but chances are slim to none that even Holland is that bold/dumb.
