Id rather do someone like Kaut or Bowers instead of Jost. This leaves the Avs without a 3C

Compher is much better on the wing

not a big fan of Rackell but moving Jost to get a depth scoring winger is a possability, especially with newhook and maltsev are doing in the AHL right now, wont be long until they are slotted back in at 3C 4C which could lead to a roster of

Landy Mack Rants
Nuke Kadri Bura
X Newhook Compher
Helm Maltsev LOC

Start to see a more rationalized roster build here. You want Newhook at C and Jost Compher never have worked on a line

What would you give for hoffman

nothing, you can keep him and his lack of defensive ability and locker room issues

With Mike Smith on Edmonton's roster, the Oilers will need someone who is more durable than Pavel Francouz. Besides, they can't add a goaltender without moving Koskinen.
