Fair enough... Probably the best bet for a team with the cap space, high-end youthful talent so the Sedins can slip into a supportive role (where they'll be way more effective)... in my opinion, the Oilers have the right mix of sandpaper and size in their lineup to suit 2 more skilled, experienced players who have been to a cup final.

It also works money wise for them, seeing that McDavid, Draisaitl, Talbot, Nurse and so on, will all be due for a raise. The Sedins have only 1 year left. They add the skill and experience to make a legit run next season... And the financial flexibility to keep the core together for years to come.

It's what the Pens did back when Crosby &amp; Malkin were McDavid &amp; Draisaitl's ages. Roberts, Recchi, Sydor, etc. etc. got them to their first cup final... the following year they were there again and won it with aging veterans on the cusp of retirement like Guerin and others.

Not too mention, if the Canucks threw in depth defense in Sbisa, and a pretty good backup in Markstrom.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>There are better options out there. If the Sedins are to be bought out, they'll except a trade as long as you can get them to go to a team together. MTL will surely answer the call if you can retain as much salary as you'd be willing to buy out in this scenario. At least that way you get a return for the Sedins.</div></div>

Absolutely trading them would be Plan A. In the event they stick to what they've been quoted as saying, then buying them out is a decent plan B, as their buyout penalty isn't that bad really for a team on the re-build. Basically 3 million combined. And only for 1 more season according to the long-term outlook. But you're right there are better options available... with this ownership group I could see them going after higher-profile UFA's to replace them.

Still think it'd be harder to convince Chiarelli, then it would be to convince the twins.</div></div>

Fully aware of this... I also realize that a lot people say things and then the opposite happens. But... agreed it's a stretch to think they'll be convinced to play elsewhere, but this is a <strong>hypothetical</strong> that would make sense.
