After a good playoff run, it left me thinking? What can the Oilers do to beat a juggernaut team like Colorado, I thought there goaltending needed improvement but they have soup now so honestly your good there, forward depth is great as per usual, especially when you finish off the Top 6 with Kane. But Defence still has me wanting more! I think Chicago is really wanting to move that Seth Jones contract, especially after it was the 2nd worse contract in the league according to the recent athletic story.

So what does it take to get Seth Jones? I'd probably say not much at this point. But the question isnt a matter of what per say, but how much Chicago is willing to retain. I feel at 4.75 AAV, (50% Retention) Jones has good solid value, hell he did for Colombus! But truly how much is Chicago willing to retain? Probably not much if anything, cause if it was anywhere from 35%-50% i feel many teams like edmonton would have lined up to make there pitches.

For a 7th a team would not take on that bloated contract, but besides the fact, what do you all think would be the retention amount if Chicago where to move him. I think they at max want to retain 15% but could look at basically just giving him away because of it. Does a team like Anahiem, or Airzona take an 8 year long risk and fill a defensive void? I'm not convinced.

I truly want this post to be a discussion so feel free to comment below! Would you guys think Patrick Kane or JT would be involved in coming back as apart of the return as "payment", for taking him on? Let me know hockey fans if your teams would be interested and what you think there offers would be! Cheers!
