Description
Now obviously this is so hypothetical and other moves would've 100% been made or not have been made due to the butterfly effect but chirelli made some key mistakes that costed the oilers a lot of quality players
Trades
1.
NJD
  1. Larsson, Adam
Additional Details:
Terrible terrible terrible trade. Don't even try to tell me that the oilers made the playoffs because of this trade because they didnt. They made it because of a healthy mcdavid
2.
EDM
  1. Eberle, Jordan
Additional Details:
Seriously? That's all you can get for jordan eberle? I get he had a brutal playoffs but the worst career year eberle had (this season: 51 point) was still better than stromes best (50 points)
3.
EDM
VGK
  1. Russell, Kris
Additional Details:
Don't even get me started on how absolutely brutal and atrocious this signing was. 4 MILLION FOR A SHOT BLOCKING PILON???!?!???
4.
EDM
LAK
  1. Lucic, Milan
Additional Details:
Why sign a big physical guy whose on the wrong side of 30 that's played a rough and tough style of hockey his whole career to a 7 YEAR 6 MILLION DOLLAR CONTACT??!???!!??! HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?????
5.
EDM
  1. Barzal, Mathew
Additional Details:
I actually liked this trade at first for EDM but it CERTAINLY didn't pan out
NYI
    Reinhart
    6.
    EDM
      Flames acquired Hamilton instead of EDM because they had one spot higher pick than EDM. If I'm chirelli i offer a surplus of picks to get the RHD that this team desperately needs and not trade for griffin reinhart... that was a huge blunder. EDM was very much in on Hamilton and lost by a hair to Calgary. They could've made it work with an extra pick somewhere
      BOS
      1. Barzal, Mathew
      Additional Details:
      16th overall + other picks @ 2015 NHL draft
      7.
      CGY
        Acquired @ 2015 draft from Boston
        8.
        FLA
          Signed In FA. A million times better than kris Russell...

          If PC wasn't an idiot he'd still be in Boston.

          Lucic being on the wrong side of 30?? You realize he just turned 29, he just turned 28 when he signed the deal.

          But I really enjoyed watching Hall cry last year.

          1. Hall wanted to be the star he wasnt allowed because McDavid's the star. Also Oil neesed a RHD badly.
          2.Eberle is good at getting points and nothing else, he cant get it out if the defensive zone ever and is afraid to go into corners.
          3. Lucic brings size, something that the Oilers havent had in YEARS
          4. Totally agree, worst trade in like last 10 years
          5. Guess having another RHD instead of Russell would've nice. But Russell blocks shots

          Nice ideas and it shows how good the Oil could be, but if you have followed the Oilers over the decade of darkness you would know why the trades happened. Also imagine what MacT would've done

          Uhmmm, nothing on the ridiculous contracts given out to children making one soon to be worth $2M more than anyone else, and then other one of the most expensive in the league when both are well before UFA status?

          Mcdavid deserves the money but I agree 100% with drastile

          I think Strome will work out well for the Oilers. I really don't understand the Draisaitl signing. Who else would have offered so much?
