Don't worry you can never beat trading away Brett Hull (741 goals in 1269 games) thats Goals not points. That's like being a 50 goal scorer every year for your entire career. For Rob Ramage and Rick Wamsley a 29 year of defensmen and a back up goalie. Brett Hull has the 5th most goals of any player in the history of the game. We even added in Steve Bozak. That is like Trading Draisaitl for Dan Vladar and Oliver Kylington but trading him when he is 20 not now. You would be fired immediately if that happened today and a criminal investigation launched into what happened.

What seems odd is Oilers were just making a salary dump & were not expecting anything in return. Why would a non playoff team give up a prospect for a player they could get for nothing. Maybe this is all part of a larger deal for Mitch Marner?? Buffalo still has $13 million in salary cap to spend & not many teams have cap space to sign a Marner deal. Toronto is going to want some NHL ready players included in any Marner trade. Maybe McLoud is just one piece of what it takes to bring Mitch Marner to Buffalo.

Where is the Nurse trade for a stronger and definitely more affordable back end? With Campbell's albatross of a contract gone , where is the starting goalie? Because Skinner isn't it.

Be prepared for later this summer, we could end up with a tenured GM coming in and taking the reins. If that happens, I fully expect the Oilers to trade ALL the talent they've acquired this summer for nothing, with 50% retained on all contracts, Nurse will get signed to a 2 year extension with a 2 million dollar raise that will take place immediately, and Draisaitl will be allowed to become a UFA with zero attempt to re-sign or trade at the deadline. This has been reality for Oilers fans since 2002, and I'm fully in the "I'll believe it when I see it" territory.
