Sakic would rather sell his children than lose Makar

Getting rid of Kassian will cost assets.

Oilers insider Bob Stauffer begs to differ.

Which is why a team like Edmonton should offer sheet him. It'll put a lot more cap pressure on Sakic when he matches... and make it more likely that Grubauer hits the open market for Edmonton to pick up which will prevent Holland from making a STUPID GIBSON TRADE like the one above.

Gibson has been replacement level since 2018, that's a huge overpay for a guy that isn't living up to his contract. Seriously, look at his numbers - you can get better goalies in free agency for less money and keep the 3 prime assets.

Of 71 goalies who played at least 1250 minutes at 5v5 since December 31, 2018, Gibson ranks 49th for SV% and 47th for HDSV%... yet he carries the 6th highest cap hit.

I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe the Oilers think he has value but nobody else. I see Oilers fans trying to trade him almost every ACGM.

You don't see that with guys who are on team friendly contracts or even decent contracts.
