Campbell AND Hyman in Edmonton would hurt my soul

If Keith is retiring there was really no need to blow draft capital to move Kassian was there?

Yes it was, without that 3.2 mil of new cap space the oilers had zero chance of bring in a starting goalie and bringing back Kane or signing a impact UFA top 6 forward. This way we can keep JP, Yammo and McLeod and resign Kulak, ideally Barrie gets moved also and replace him with a more defensive mind D that is physical and can kill penalties and probably still have cap to sign a veteran bottom 6 forward to add more depth. The picks that were moved don’t help the team for 3-4 yrs that’s if they even turn into NHL players, both picks will be late round picks as the Oil continue winning playoff rounds and hopefully a cup in the next 3-4 yrs. Holland was been patient since he’s taken over not moving high picks and blue chip prospects but now the prospect cupboard is stock and the Oilers are in a window to win but to do that we needed to add more talent at key areas but needed cap space to do so, this is the model all current cup winners have done moving picks and prospects to win, we finally have a gm that has made us a constant playoff team and fans still ****.
