Tiny though... ah well.

Henri Jokiharju and Nick Schmaltz are the other names out there.
yup...they now have 3 young drafted puck movers drafted in the last years
They maybe looking at the local kid in this years draft .
Highly doubt NS is in play
Nick Schmaltz is probably already a more valuable asset than Max.
22 year old center just coming off a 50 point season

But it's similar numbers that Drouin put up in last year with Tampa at the same age...when you get to play with better players....

From EK....
On Montreal....
Milan Lucic is available, and as I have said before I am told the Oilers reached out to Montreal about Lucic a few months ago and Montreal had very little interest...This morning I was told those talks have once again surfaced...

ha ha the dog days of summer are here . Only if they take Alzner and we get a decent draft pick

No thanks. I don't think you need Max in that trade. Lucic's deal is so bad that you should be able to get a 1st and still trade Max elsewhere for a 1st+.

I don't think I would even do Alzner for Lucic and a 1st.
I might do that... but I certainly wouldn't toss in Max.

I would do the trade. Bother Alzner and Lucic are irrelevant. Neither of those players moves our needle and having one of them on our roster still helps the tank. It's the 1st rounder that's key for our franchise.
EDM probably doesn't do that trade anyway. They don't save TONS of money, their defense gets worse and they lose a first rounder.

depends how long you want to tank for
edmonton does love "defensive Dmen" but maybe they have figured it out

Lucic has one more year, and a full NMC until 2021. Furthermore his contract is heavy on bonuses which makes it essentially buyout proof. More expensive too.
We would be pretty much stuck with Lucic taking 4-6M off our cap until 2023. https://www.capfriendly.com/buyout-calculator/milan-lucic

we wouldn't need to respect Lucic NMC, would we?

Alzner is a defensive defenseman that struggles playing defense.

We would since it's already in effect.
