Not a bad lineup at all! And one of the first I've seen where Foegele isn't gone lol

puljujarvi>jost, not a bad deal, but holloway hopefully cracks the roster this year, leaving us with little right handed forwards.

That's TERRIBLE value for Edmonton. Easy decline.

Yea they are but we aren't in a position to make 'steals' of trades, we have no cap room to dress 23 people and every single NHL GM knows that.
We lose value on both trades but it opens us up to have an amazing top 6 with a huge improvement to our forward depth, a big step on defense and goaltending as well as leaving 1.4 mill of room for deadline deals.
Sometimes the end can justify the means.

Wanted to toss Holloway in instead of Phil, but another year of him in the A could be good for development.
Either way, If its this year or next he cracks the lineup, I'm excited to see him play.

I don't see any improvement though. Kessel sucks, Jost isn't good and Hakanpaa is a 6th / 7th defenseman.

The team is worse.
