Barzal isn't taking a discount

Detroit doesn't want Russell, And Kassian isn't returning no 2nd round pick.

If chiarelli was never hired, we wouldn't have any good memes that aren't about Toronto.

Dude you're at least $2 mil to $3 mil under for Matt Barzal you're crazy if you think he's signing for $5.5 mil in Edmonton. Eberle and Hall are't happening and Buffalo isn't eating $2 mil on Hall for Adam freaking Larsson either.

You can play this game with every team. If the leafs never had Kyle Dubas, they'd have Nazem Kadri, Connor Brown, A first round pick (Patrick Marleau), etc. If they never had Lou, they wouldn't have had the awful contracts of Marleau and Zaitzev (the reason Dubas lost Brown and a 1st).

That wasnt the point

Those aren't trades. They are reserve of trades.

wasnt the point
reverse the oilers trade

Everyone is so focused on the hall for Larsson trade because it was his more recent **** up that they forget the reinhart trade was 10 times worse. Right up near the top of all time bad trades.

I know what they're, it's basically Edmonton never traded Barzal, Eberle or Hall but bottom line is they did. All teams can look back and say gee i wish i had't traded so an so. But bottom line is that Hall was never going to stay in Edmonton and just keeping Barzal was never going to happen either because of the cost to resign him in the future. The last thing Edmonton can afford is to be like Tampa and Toronto in cap hell and still be no closer to winning a cup.

No the point being is that you'd be paying Barzal close to $10 million per season for 3C duties.
