Description
Kovalchuk will conceivably be wanting to go to a cup contender, and I doubt New Jersey will want to move him within division/conference. The addition of Kovy and the development of Pulju will allow the Oilers to run three scoring lines that are also responsible and physically imposing. Green will help with the PP and be a great add at ES, and Halak will be a great backup to Talbot so that he doesn't have to kill himself during the regular season.

Kovy, Green, Halak, Maroon, etc. coming off the books will also help to ensure that the Oilers will have ample space to re-sign McDavid.

    Not bad but I think a first rounder is wayyy too much to pay for mike green, I'm convinced we could have traded for him at the deadline for less than this package. Halak at 50% costs alot more than a 4th round pick.

    Ilya is a wild card. Feels like the summer where we courted Jagr. Love the look of PP1.

    I don't know. Green is a bona fide top four RHD who provides above average defense and under the right conditions likely could be a 40-50 point guy again. The Oilers pick is going to be late anyways.

    Given that there arent a ton of spots available for goaltenders, and we are likely to see Fleury, Bishop, Grubauer, Darling, Elliot, etc. looking for new homes, I doubt Halak is going to cost a ton.

    Honestly I'm super excited to see what happens with him. I was really sad when he left - such a dynamic player.
