lmao

I'm sure they're looking for more of a top-6 guy but we should really be seeing if they'd overpay for Connor Brown because of his connection with McDavid.

Sign me up for that Oilers first round pick, they always get lucky and pick in the top 3.

Imagine having their draft record and looking around and saying "Man, we really need some help at forward".

This league is such a ridiculous joke.

Have you seen their trade record? Nature finds a way.

I don't know what you're referring to but I'm referring to their ability to run their business this badly, get government subsidies for a new arena and have the general public support their locking out their employees to preserve their right to profitability.

Is it very mean of me to wish for the Oilers to deal their first rounder, miss the playoffs and then win the lottery for the team they dealt the pick to?

Oh, I meant their draft record (er, collection of 1st OAs) was squandered frivolously, not really in reference to their other shadiness.

What about Ottawa --> Colorado?

I enjoy that too.  I'm a mean guy.

I'm kind of okay with either, but if the Oilers end up trading their 1st to us for Connor Brown, then that's the chaos I'm rooting for.

I'm as big a Brown fan as any, but I'd take a mid-late first rounder for Brown.

The Oilers really do have an absolutely abysmal record from the 2nd round and down over the past decade.  It's embarrassing brutal.

Given that, it's really no surprise that they, well, suck.

I would try to get Nurse if possible.

He's not going anywhere.

You would think a team like Carolina would make a push for Poolparty, since they already have Aho and Teravainen they could get that all Finnish thing going. 

I thought the Oilers wanted forward help though?  How is trading a not-yet 21 year old forward with promise helping that?

Probably not but don't forget, we're talking Chia here lol..I would ask about him.

Chiarelli is all in on saving his job.

Yup. He's gone if they miss. Has to be.

Nicholson said as much earlier this year.  I'm paraphrasing but he basically said if Oilers make the playoffs than Chiarelli stays on, which infers there's no guarantee he's back if they miss.
