Thinking over the Sekera buyout, would think that some team would be willing to have Sekera on their roster for 3M a year. Like MTL could likely use his services at discounted rate then Oilers aren't on the hook for the 2 additional years of the buyout, and maybe you get a pick or bottom 6 guy in return.

Also would like to point out you traded for Duclairs rights but signed Brassard and Hagelin instead

First off that crap doesn't get you Trouba, What part of Trouba not wanting to be in Canada don't you understand? Trouba wants 7 x 8. And if Nyquist would sign for 5 x 5 he'd still be a Red Wing not a Shark he wants 6 x 6 and he's not signing with Edmonton. That's for sure.
