Who gets Gavrikov? No way he is a 1st rounder now.

Ughhh don’t like this at all. Hopefully massive crippling overpay if it happens.

This is honestly a good add for the Oilers. I hope it doesn’t make that much of a difference for them

He would be a good add but I'm not sure he's a guy that takes them over the top or anything. I'm happy to see them give up a lot for him as he's not getting better with age.

If this means they don't get Chychrun then so be it. I don't like this as a Flames fan but it's better than the alternative. Good pickup for the Oilers.

Ekholm makes over 6 million. Can the Oilers even afford that? I can't imagine there would be salary retention as Ekholm has another few years on his deal (and is 32).

I hope they pay and they leave themselves with a cap mess next year.

some of you guys worry too much...the Oilers aren't an Ekholm away

also this is what the 4th or 5th guy the Oilers were supposedly getting according to the Canadian media

Given Poile's recent trade work... hopefully bends the Oilers over!

Preds would only accept a draft class for Jeannot

For Ekholm? Bleed them dry

Holland will feel the pressure to deliver and overpay
