I believe the Oilers are in the mix on Grabner...but a longshot.
Many have suggested a NY-area team.
But hearing Arizona pursuing hard.
Still have a feeling Jets are gonna get O'Reilly after Sabres payout the bonus money now that they lost out on Stastny. They can offer a way better package than the Flames could and still keep their current roster.
Would he want to go to Winnipeg is the question? We already know he would be open to Calgary as he signed an offer sheet here once upon a time.

You mean the guy who has been able to find talent late in the draft consistently? Gaudreau, magiapane, dube, parsons, brodie, fox, ferland etc. I fully believe picks like kanzig and smith were based on some burke mandate to find size. I think button has done well
You throw emough darts, you are going to get some right.
As for mangiapane, dube, parsons, fox... talk to me when any of them become impactful players. Remember when Poirier was a steal because of his speed? Baertschi was gonna be a superstar? Max Rienhart was killing it in the CHL? Flames fans always get hyped up about these players who generally end up fizzling away.
The draft is always a crap shoot. Every team has picks they don't like, but you can't draft Tkachuk or Monahan if you don't have a pick.

I did not claim that I knew he was going to be a bust I, as a fan, was ecstatic when he was drafted. However, I also dont get paid millions of dollars to make these decisions.
Don't go after Maroon! I think we're better off to hope that Brouwer can have a better year and step up the plate. I know, I know, but there has to be a chance. Then buy him out next year, assuming he doesn't step up which has to be the consensus prediction. Then at this time next year we can talk about bringing in a player like Marooon.
