He didn't even need to shoot the puck, he literally only needed to keep moving forward. I can't even imagine the feeling Stefan must have had skating back to the bench. What could he possibly say to his teammates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Maybe it's mostly due to " me wanting it that something is happening " ... But i can't find a real explanation to the loooong Shero's silence. He didn't spoke to the media since the end of the playoff. It's clearly more based on my wish than proper fact, but i'm pretty sure he is working on something big ! I had the same thought.... but I doubt we get Karlsson. He’ll probably end up in Vegas or Tampa (Tampa just trades for and signs whoever they want, cap be damned, so why not Karlsson too?).

The play alone is literally the best thing ever, but just when you think it couldn't get any better, the Oilers go right down the rink in 5 seconds and score. And THEN, it gets even BETTER....the Oilers eventually win the game in OT, 6-5 lol. If "Do you believe in miracles? YES!" is the best hockey and maybe sports quote in general of all time in terms of a victory and triumph, then I truly think "Do you. Believe. What we. Just saw?!" is at the very top for best sports quote for biggest failure/blunder ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Bobby Ryan's contract is no doubt atrocious and his play has been in decline, BUT there's gotta be something of his game that we could reclaim. Dude used to be an all star caliber player. Coming home and playing third line minutes can maybe let us squeeze some value out of him.

That's kind of a low ball offer given the Doughty and even JT contracts that were just signed. Anyone trying to land EK has toknow they're in for at least 11 x 8 years.

2ELIAS6 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Not sure we have the assets to compete with what some of these other teams can offer. Taking on the Ryan contract does not seem appealing at all and if we are in serious talks you know that is going to be part of the deal.

You'd probably have to throw in a Bratt or McLeod as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I feel like realistically it would be Bratt, Butcher and a 1st for Karlsson and Ryan which is both a lot of assets and a lot of cap. Can't imagine they're in love with McLeod given that they traded with us to move up and take Logan Brown instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Ryan deal I'm slightly concerened but if Ryan is coming other way with no salary retained, that shaves off the price. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating that monstrous Bobby Ryan contract is a huuuuuge part of this deal. I think a lot of people are forgetting that between now and the time the Ryan contract is over, we're guaranteed at least one lockout. Nearly a 100% guarantee. With a lockout comes another round of compliance buyouts, very likely, where we'd be able to rid ourselves of the Ryan deal before Nico's big money would be due. Honestly, I don't think compliance buyouts are mutually exclusive to lockouts, but it more so just comes with the changing of the CBA, so I would bank on those being available after the CBA is renegotiated regardless of a lockout or not.

Good point on the compliance buyout. Also, I saw somewhere that the language in Bobby Ryan's contract allows him to be left exposed for the next expansion draft despite his NMC. That would need to be confirmed as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
