Sure. You were the one that brought it up though, not me.
Not true.
Nobody wants OEL, not even with $2M retained. Edmonton isn't taking cap dumps, but even if they were you aren't getting a 1st + a young 20 goal scorer for your cap dump. You'd have to add a 1st and a young 20 goal scorer just to get someone to take your cap dump.
Just came across this tweet. Thought of you.

Edmonton needs cap space and D help. I think I've spied who should be dealt from the blueline...
