Not to mention his incredibly badass name.

Has anyone saw the game between us and Dallas? Playing like that + a long road trip coming up? We should be behind the Oilers in about 10 games.

Nah rather have Grigs.

Possibility of hot play by Habs at end is too much risk involving swap prior to season's end.

Keep pick, take Grigorenko, send Hall to NY, get Girardi +, everybody wins...

How about the Oilers just keep Hall. Not trading a a dollar bill for a bunch of change that maybe is worth a dollar but everyone has tons of that crap. How much clearer to people have to be for you to realize this? Who plays LW in the top 6 for the Oilers next season?

So it seems what ever Montreal has or will be drafting will be better than what ever Edmonton drafts to you

Keep reading lists, I'll actually watch the players and make up my own mind. I might be wrong but it's a lot more fun.

Funny how all the other know nothing on this board agree that Galchenyuk + Beaulieu is way better than just Grigorenko.

Pls read the post at #62.
Acknowledge the truth of
"At first glance, this does not seem possible.
Trade Hall? Would the Red Sox trade Ted Williams?
The answer should be yes, if the return was good enough, i.e., Mantle AND Ford; or to Cleveland for Bob Feller + Larry Doby +.

Oilers should not take less at #2 than the most valuable pick there, but then use their surplus to address needs at D and G +."

As to:
"Not trading a a dollar bill for a bunch of change that maybe is worth a dollar but everyone has tons of that crap."
Dispute your premise that Girardi + can only = crap.
Girardi + can get you what you need.

You need to admit you have to have big time help on D + G and an all star D, plus other good stuff, is beneficial to your overall improvement.

If you didn't have RNH, etc., I could see how trading your only sniper was robbing Peter to pay Paul. But that is not the case.
