@MarkLazerus 1v16 is bloody ridiculous. Just go back to 1-8 with the top 2 seeds being the division winners. If they must have a play in game make it 9v10, then next night the winner plays at 8s home area. Back to back gives 8 the advantage.
@NHLRumourReport If the floor is 95mil I dont think it'll be that big of worry. Good teams or rich teams can spend 35mil then floor teams. A well built floor team will make about 2-3mil per playoff game so a couple good runs may be enough for a team to spend more for their window(2-3yrs)
@tyleryaremchuk I'd be fine if that was they did but not at that price. Can't afford to throw away another 1st round pick for a bottom 6 bottom pair guys
@mathewjdp I think if you can add an impact middle six forward you pull the trigger, especially if they have a little term.
With term and may be available-
P. Zacha(4.75milx2)
N.Roy(3milx2)
O'Reilly(4.5milx2)
Jared McCann(5milx2)
Rentals
K.Sherwood(1.5x1) Most likely
J. Swartz(5.5x1)
@Kgill39 From a DET perspective, why would they trade either of those guys? It's not like the Oilers have a lot of things to offer. Det can run a Gibson/Talbot tandem till deadline, flip Talbot the go Gibson/Cossa for 2 yrs while Augistine get AHL time.... not seeing this as a fit
