I, for one, am shocked that the Edmonton Oilers tanked the value of a skilled forward by poo poo talking him mercilessly before trading him, failing to get a good return.

i hope strome gets it together in edmonton. he's still got a ton of skill but seemed to be lacking severely in confidence the last couple years. a lot of that was probably capuano.

but yeah this is definitely a Good Trade for the isles

Latest rumour making the rounds is that they're trying to sign him and McDavid to 8 year deals for more than $20M combined.

I guess they think Boo Nieves is ready to slide into the 4th line C position? Otherwise this seems pretty dumb. Hrivik would be perfect on the 4th line.

I assume Hrivik wants to go to a team with less forward depth where he's more likely to secure a full-time NHL role. He got a good look in the NHL, but Grabner, Pirri, and later Puempel were all pretty big surprises.

Seems like an overpay. Draisatl is good but he should top out in the 6-8 range and while they can give McDavid north of $14m that seems a bit crazy to me.

I don't know why people think Eberle is going to become a better player now that he's with Tavares. He's still good though and only getting Strome in return seems bad.

Gonna use all this cap-space to sign Oshie to a seven year deal. Oshie will promptly fall apart like every other tiny power forward.

In my opinion Draisaitl is gonna get, at most, like 7.5, which is what Tarasenko got. McDavid is good and obviously you give him whatever he wants, but yeah, 12-14M seems nuts even for a player of his caliber.

I kinda get what Edmonton is going for - trading a 27-year-old for a 23-year-old and projecting some prime years for the younger guy. Seems like a talent mismatch at first, but Strome is pretty good and was probably just held back by lugging rocks for Fred Flintstone.

it's more about it making tavares better by having another threat on the ice with him that needs to be covered so he doesn't have to weave through 9 guys on his own
