i believe the thought was that they could not resign him

 

[JackBurton]

Yah, Garth Snow ****ed up.

He's GM in name only. He gets Wang his coffee.

@AJonSports reporting Sam Gagner for Kyle Clifford (Edmonton to retain salary).
He's semi-reliable and very angry (A.J. Jakubec) so take with a grain of salt.

bobby mac and lebrun saying it is true / throwing support behind AJ

 

[leafman101]

why would Edmonton do that?

 

[Habspatrol]

WTF??? Why? Clifford is waiver quality.

Do you really need to ask that?

 

[zeke]

Well, getting rid of that contract is a good idea for Edmonton, but even then getting a 4th liner for Gagner stings a bit.

come on now....the guy had a 57 point season once......in the OHL

5 points this year...career high of 14 (twice)

gagner is a lock for 40-50 points

#TradeTracker #Kings reluctant 2 involve Toffoli in trade that get them top 6 scorer. He's one guy teams like #Oilers r most interested in

That makes more sense.

How do you go from Toffoli to Clifford?

Is there no happy medium?

I'd imagine the Oilers want Clifford + Toffoli for Gagner whilst retaining some salary.

that is what draft picks are for

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

that is what draft picks are for

unless it's a first round draft pick they arent making up that gap. Clifford is waiver wire.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Also Toffoli, while i like him makes no sense for the Oilers unless they are moving Eberle down the line.

The last thing they need is a young skilled winger.

 

[Metalleaf]

Bring in Toffoli, move Eberle for a defenceman.

 

[worm]

If you are moving out Gagner they also need a centre.

 

[MindzEye]

We all knew that some sort of stupid trade from the Oilers was coming. Was just a matter of whether or not they did something truly damaging like Eberle for truculence.
