8 shots blocked by Tanev.

Vancouver's GDT is pretty salty.

Johnny cranked that one.

Gallagher might work at better digging out pucks for Gaudreau and Monahan.

I feel that Tanev might be the best fit for Hanifin on the second pairing.

Yes, I feel that Markstrom will be shooting for the moon on his next contract.

I see Mark Jankowski as Joe Colborne 2.0.

I feel that Markstrom will be too expensive. I'm all for Plan B, Holtby.

I still wince from Fletcher fleecing Riseborough in the Gilmour trade.

I'm not unhappy about the return, it was probably the best that could be expected due to his current play. I feel that Frolik was a very good free agent signing and performed quite well for 3 of the 4.5 seasons that he had been with the Flames. Crossing my fingers that the scouts find a gem with the early 4th round San Jose draft pick.

Many of the Oiler fans that were on the team's official message board have moved to: http://the-omb.proboards.com/#category-3 They went this route because many of them did not want to go to the HF boards.

In my mind, the ideal way to make Cap Space to re-sign the RFAs would be to trade Frolik and Stone for draft picks. Second choice would be to trade them for prospects.

JTech780: I'm kind of on the fence regarding taking on Jason Zucker's contract. 4 more years at a $5.5M Cap Hit ($5.625M per in actual dollars). He's only been close to worth those dollars once (during the 2017/2018 season). He will be nearly 31 years old when it expires. Beginning July 25, he will have a 10 team no trade list. That said, I'd certainly take a shot at him for Frolik+ a bottom 6 roster forward, or a B prospect, or a 2020 3rd round draft pick. Personally, I don't have much interest in Joel Eriksson. In the NHL, his best season has been 6G + 10A = 16P in 75 games. IMO, the only advantage that he has over Mark Jankowski is that he is two years younger and plays a little better of a 200' game.
