The Oilers should try to trade lucic for another bad contract like ryan in ott. Ryan has a higher cap hit but can actually play

But why would Ottawa do that trade

You get DeBrincat then don't even pair him with McDavid! Jones > Bear and let Cozens develop sign like Jordan Weal for #3C for 1-2 years

less cap hit and i think lucic is payed less but i dont know. lucic is signed for a bit longer so that should help ott and i dont think they like ryan. their owner is also insane and probably all about the "grit" and "being a good guy in the locker room" or "a positive influence towards the uber drivers"

Youre getting shredded for this as you deserve but nobody has touched on the stupidity of the Draisaitl trade. 1, its moronic to trade a guy that just netted 50 and is only getting better, I know the midget can score and is young too but Leon is a better player end of story. 2. If we trade up to 3 it will be to take Byram, Cozens has bust written all over him, big strong slow guy that succeeds in junior by pushing people around, gets to the NHL and cant do that anymore, its the Jake Virtanen, Nolan Patrick story.

I agree. Fool to trade Drai. You don't touch Drai or McD. Those are universal truths for the Oilers.

I like the contracts of Zucc and Dzingel. Ferland, I'm not as high on as you already have a Ferland esc player in Kassian, at a much lower cap hit.
