Do you think Stone wants to sign in Ottawa?

Hes clearly thinking and debating it.

Really bad for the Oilers. And it doesn't really make any sense for them to go for a rental as they're missing the playoffs. Could definitely see them going for Dzingel as a UFA if he's available.

Your trade would blow Winnipeg's balance. They don't need to be so aggressive. A trade to get a player like Brassard would be enough to them.

And why Oilers would bring a rental, if they probably won't get a playoff spot?

Okey. Just wondering. He should get whatever he wants and "C" on his jersey for signing that new contract.

I think the Sens know how important it is to sign him and will eventually get a deal done

It sure sounds like Winnipeg is big game hunting, don't know if they want to settle on a Brassard. As for the Oilers, if they acquire Dzingle now, they can test him out next to Mcdavid to see if there is a potential long term fit there instead of gambling July 1st

To me, they just need a top 6 LHD.

That's what we did with Karlss... oh wait...

Yup..

They need a decent 2nd line centre. Little is okay, just doesn't jive with Laine.

The biggest problem is Laine. He's not giving 100% of his game. That's why their HC put him to play in 4th line, sometimes. It'd be nice to get a 2nd line C. But the most important is Laine play with more energy. That's the greatest boost Winnipeg can get. A top 6 LHD is more important to them.
