Puljujarvi trade

Marleau might sign with EDM, but Thornton has stated that it's either SJ or retirement. Other teams are no options for him.

I think you’re living in a dream world thinking Thornton and Marleau sign in Edmonton... but I don’t hate it. In fact... I’d love it as an Oilers fan.

Don’t think Phaneuf would really provide an upgrade over any other option the Oilers have for their bottom pairing... so don’t think he’s a necessary signing.

You could save yourself the headache of trying to dump Brodziak and Manning on another team and just burry them; Brodziak would only have $75,000 and Manning would only have $1,100,000 hitting the Oilers Cap is they were buried. You have the room. It’s more realistic than finding someone to take them.

Not getting a first round pick and a prospect for JP . He is a bust so far and a malcontent. No team will be willing to give up much, Should have stayed sucked it up and taken a bridge deal and let his playing do his talking. Him bolting for Europe and griping in public has destroyed any value he had.

Also - one last thing. I think you’d be better to leave Yamo in the Bake for one more year and let Nygaard play with McDavid. Or, put him on the second line as Neal and Chiasson are going to drag down the speed of that line substantially.

Nygard can really fly.

Didn't Puljujärvi already sign with Oulun Kärpät?
