Oiler fans: what's the plan with Larsson? Re-sign, or replace?

There is no way they can replace for less than $4M on the open market. They need a top pairing guy (so Bear can play 2nd pairing), and they aren't getting that for less than $5+M (likely more).

I wonder if they retire his number after he’s done.

Not always, the player can get the new team to honour the NMC. Example is Lucic, he waived but his NMC is still in effect. As someone else said though, they won't have a problem protecting him with the garbage they have on D.

It’s another Oiler short cut that is actually a dead end.

I can’t wait for the tripe of “oh once he plays with McDavid he’ll be a $5.5 million defenceman again.”

Sure… but that really only validates how stupid they are and how they waste his talent.

The value in having McDavid is he can make $3 million dollar offensive defenceman look like a $6 million dollar offensive dman. Any value is gone out the window when you pay someone for how they play with McDavid instead of paying them how they play without him.

Oilers gonna Oil.

I was worried they'd make a run at Dougie Hamilton if they somehow managed to offload deadweight, but who's kidding who?

Iginla wearing CCM gloves instead of his trademark Easton gloves is indeed barf-worthy.

This was the immediate follow up to his "please god let koskinen's cap hit go the other way" tweet.

Spector may be the bigger embarrassment of the Oilers Twitter birds today.

He really had to dig for a positive angle.

GM ####s cap structure, but billionaire save some change guys!

Props to Benning for resisting giving up assets for a 38 year old Duncan Keith. I know that must've been hard for him.

Oilers continue to be the worst run franchise in professional sports. McDavid has to force his way out at the end of this upcoming season.

I actually wonder if his pressure behind the scenes is partly what leads to bad decisions like this.

I'd put money on it never being an actual thought of the Canucks.

He still gets booed here everytime he touches the puck because of his flying elbow on Daniel Sedin

No chance he could ever play here

I’d put money on there wasn’t another team in the league ready to provide a prospect and a pick for Keith.

Zero teams want him.
