Fwiw, all of the Oilers contracts they would be looking to move off of: Nurse, Walman, Frederic are fucking terrible and worse contracts for worse players than Rielly was at his absolute worst last year.

yeah, I don't want anything they're selling unless it's a first round pick. But I don't know what year they have theirs. I don't know theyre younger players. I would take Murphy and a first : )
 
I would heavily take into consideration the relationship between woodcroft and Mcdavid.
And I think that Matthews knows who Mcdavid liked playing with, cuz you know they talked about their coaches as buddies.

Maybe Mcdavid says he likes Woodcroft..... or maybe he tells the leafs that it wasn't knoblauch's fault and Chyka goes with whomever Mcdavid and matthews would like. Matthews stays... they are a bit better and in a wildcard spot throughout the year. But the Oil cant make chicken salad out of chicken shit. Maybe they take Reilly, but again I don't want any of their players. Maybe murphy to play with Mcabe after Tanev misses half the season.

Then Mcdavid demands plays out his contract and signs with Mathews and Mckenna. And you have a resigned Matthews and Mcdavid playing with year 3 of Mckenna :oops:

McDavid Mathews Mckenna
Knies Trotchek Nylander
Tavares Laughton Cowan
Lorentz Quillan Domi

I also do like the rumours of Trotchek. I think he and Mathews probably like eachother as well from team USA. Trot playing wing with Matthews and Mckenna.... in place before Mcdavid signs here. Two team american player
Maybe the Rangers take a package of Robertson, Macelli and the Avs first rounder
 
I wanna hear your opinions of your coaching choices and who you think we should go with. I also want to hear some trade ideas you could see happening.

I am still secretly in on the trade Matthews train however, I'll be reasonable.

I think I might lean towards Woodcroft.. Or see if mathews likes the college guy Carle?

I think you can trade Reilly to a few teams, including now Edmonton. Interesting to see Nurse get that assist to Tavares. I don't want Nurse.

I don't think we have enough to get Thomas and I think Tuch stays in Buffalo. I like the idea of Trotchek

I'll pay for Raddyish, trade for Trotchek for Matthews. Trade Carlo for a numbers player like Mindz was saying.
I'd also take a third pair of Tanev OEL.
I trade Stolarz possibly with Reilly to Edmonton and see if I can get Jack Roslovic and I know they just got Murphy but I still like him, and I think he could pair up nicely with Mcabe.

I don't want Malhotra, I think its perfect to keep Malhotra in Vancouver especially with the Sedins now in charge and maybe they pick the kid with the third.

If you go for some americans players like Trotchek and Roslovic you actually make Mathews happy, you get some good players as well that aren't bad replacements.
