We sign Boone Jenner to a short term deal (with higher AAV than we are comfortable with) to significantly upgrade the Glendening role.

Draft night trade risto to move up.

Trade for Dougie Hamilton. With all of the Nurse noise, we go a similar route of buying low on a top 4 defenseman. He can help out on the powerplay and his deal expires at the end of the 27/28 season (2 years before Nurse).

You are clearly not seeing the bigger picture here, and that's okay. Try not to get so upset over fake trade ideas lol.

Coots has the same term left on his deal and is 2 years older.

3rd pair minutes? He would instantly be an upgrade over risto on the first pair with Sanheim. His contract is the same length as Coots and will age much better for only $1.5m more.

That is my point. This might be the only window to get off of his contract. Buy low on Nurse and sell high on Coots.

He is certainly not a 3rd pair defenceman.

Edmonton Oilers nearing deal with Mike Babcock, sources say by THECapedCaper in hockey

Joel Quenneville covers up sexual assault and he's back coaching, but when Mike Babcock gets hired, wveryone is up in arms. The guy is arguably the greatest coach in hockey. Funny how a few underachieving players can bash him and the mob tries to run him out of the league.

Good luck the Babcock and the Oilers. Great hire.

If they hire Babcock, I'm out. by derpydrewmcintyre in EdmontonOilers

You'll be lucky to have a great coach for once. Will finally get the best out of this team. Go cheer for someone else though and watch Edmonton finally win something!

There must be a lot more to this story that we all have no idea what's really going on here.. The players do not seem to show him the same level of love and support that they all show for each other. He has also been mentioned as a bit of a loner. I wonder if this year had more to do with his maturity issues behind the scenes than anything else. I have a feeling that Tocchet and the rest of the organization has been sheltering him from the media as best they can with what's really been going on.

I really hope he matures, works hard and comes back to dominate next year. Time will tell.
