Dallas does not have the cap space to make this trade. I think Barrie will stay an Oiler this yr and be traded next summer, or trade deadline at the earliest.
McLeod will not sign that deal.
Benson & Koekkoek will spend the entire yr in the A, wont even sniff the pressbox. Woodcroft will have guys like Malone, Niemo, & Samorukov up before those plugs.
I like the idea of bringing Gags back, but if they do they should move Ryan. Gags serves the same role for less cap space. Dump Ryan & sign a 4th line winger who plays a bit more physical, like ZAR maybe.

PHI has alot of wings and isnt going to deal a pick to help EDM get under the cap.

At this point in time with most teams capped and everyone somewhat committed to what they have in players/systems, taking a 2 yr bottom 6 winger making that $, from a team over the cap is a favor they dont pay for.

Not saying foegele is a negative asset, but at this point in time he doesnl;t carry any value.

Edmonton should decline the Dallas trade and the Gagner signing. Both make the team worse.
