So quick question for you cap guys! with the moves the Oilers have made recently, what is their cap situation if Sekera were to return say end of January? Would they have to move someone? or are they still ok?

[Darkon]

oh and by the way, I love when Oil fans solutions to their woes are we need to get rid of Lucic and Sekera's contracts and then we can bring in other players??? Yes great plan! but how exactly is that going to happen?

So...
Need 5 top ten players.
Need to drop three brutal contracts without taking any bad contracts back.
Need to sign top free agents who will play for reduced salary in Edmonton to fill the holes.

Great plan.

Although in this case I think it's more a case of not wanting to play FOR a certain team than against one

Carrying a team on your back for 15-20 minutes a night will cause a ton of stress and exhaustion, which makes that person very susceptible to getting sick!

It's even worse when you realize he has Larson and Klefbom slotted too high. They should be the second pairing on a good team. So they need 3 top 6 forwards and 2 top 2 defencemen.

I'm thinking Mcdavid, Draisitl, RNH and maybe Koskinen.

Even if we could pick any player we wanted off the Oilers those are the only 4 who you'd even look at. There's a legitimate case not a single one of their defensemen would crack our top 6.

With Salary Cap considerations, I’m not sure if RNH even makes the team. Too much money already being spent elsewhere.

He definitely doesn’t make it as a centre.

In a salary cap scenario, I can’t see any of the Oilers Defensemen making the team.

Anyone ever hear a reasoning why the BJ's gm knew to pass

I assume 28 is Brodziak's dad who just saw his boy ring up a -2.

But Chicago is sweet though.

i could be totally wrong with this, but i thought i read on cp that poolparty was rather offended that teams outside of the 'top picks' wanted to interview him prior to the draft... kinda like a "why are you wasting my time since i'm going to go so early in the draft that i'd never fall to your draft position" attitude.

stuff like that can be a big red flag when it comes to a guy's character... and it's not like stuff like that doesn't get around to other teams


**again... i could be totally wrong with which draft pick it was, but i thought it was poolparty

I believe you're thinking of Yakupov.

That was Yakupov, not Poolparty. Burke was just talking about this the other day on the radio.
