Kings may was well rebuild I don't see a world where they make it out. For the last 6-8 years the Western Conference championship was always played in California at some point. I think Alberta may become the new consistent battle ground for that championship. Exciting times | ||

Dave Brown looks like such a crazy motherfucker. Calgary has a great dline, but I prefer Nashville's personally. Hamonic's contract is great though. I do hope the Battle of Alberta becomes a real series again. However, I am really not crazy about the Eberle trade and Edmonton's purging of their skilled wingers and signing Russell. But McDavid and Draistl down the middle can fix a lot of shit. The Nuge as a 3C is pretty rad too | ||

The Nuge as a 3C is pretty rad too I'm not a fan of the Eberle trade either. It's less bad than the Hall one but still bad. At least Tavares and Eberle will only obliterate us twice a year. EDM Center depth is sick good. Nuge minus 1.25 million off his contact would be perfect. If we could get him another forward whose great defensively an old school third line as a checking line thing would be doable. Would probably murder his point production but that's ok. At that point he's paid to not get scored on vs top team lines. Russel isn't bad. He's just ok. Decent on good days. Not worth 4yrs x $4mill though and way not worth losing Eberle just to have space for him. | ||

Draisaitl is gonna get 7M minimum imo, McDavid asked for 14M.. he'll probably get 11 or 12M. RNH gets 6M, thats about 25M for just 3 players alone.. Right now they have 12.4M left and thats without resigning Draisaitl + McDavid. I honestly think RNH is the next to go, if they plan on playing him @ 3C it doesn't make sense to keep him, he's too expensive. http://stats.nhlnumbers.com/teams/EDM?year=2018 | ||

McDavid isn't getting more than Kane or Taves or Crosby. Not yet anyways. Drai likely aint getting 7+ either. Yet. I expect Draisaitl to get a short term deal in the 5 - 6m range. He needs to prove he can be a top 10 scorer without McDavid if he wants that kinda money. McDavid should pull an Ovie and fire his agent. Doesn't need that guy taking his money. His contracts basically write themselves so no need to pay someone for that lol | ||

Either they get him or the oilers match and then there cap situation is really bunged up. Probably will on July 1 honestly. Until that time they cannot So EDM needs to get to work on him asap | ||
