I think generally based on this draft and the assets we've received in the past year, they would generally see Kylington at best as a 2nd pairing defenceman, and will be surpassed in the depth chart within a few years by a few guys in the system. This could mean kylington ends up as a 4th (if Rasmus is gone) or bottom 2 if Rasmus stays. Committing term and dollar to a bottom pairing dman 2-3 years down the road is not great when that is hopefully the time you can utilize cap space to accelerate the rebuild instead of picks.

They traded away Thompson earlier

Why would you bring this into existence?

Currently one is renting a few houses down with her 4 kids, carousel of roommates, and the obnoxious ability to take up all the public parking places on the street while staying up till 2 am on a Tuesday in her backyard...

Foegle def skated into the back of the dman on purpose

Ahhh sorry. I glossed over the "inspector said not needed" when i saw their comment

Yeah that was right after Foegle tripped up the dman on the back check.

The inspector told the contractor to put the nail plates in. It's not the homeowners fault the contractor missed it.

Nah, it's a bad trade for Washington, and still just a bad trade by LA considering what they gave up to get him

I mean, LA gave up a ton to get PLD, so it just makes an awful trade only slightly less awful.

I mean they picked up an 8.5mil cancer though.

How was Ottawa this last year? Sabres are looking real good too. Man, if only Arizona was given a shot before being sent to Utah....

I mean, trading out aging players for younger nhl ready players and getting some assets in the trades is a savvy move.

This is the opposite of the Chucky trade where we traded young exciting player, for older players.

A first round pick, even top ten protected, is a good price for an older goalie with a mediocre nhl level defensemen that is young.

Yeah just heard that. I was hoping no retention with the return especially the protected pick but oh well.

I read the prospect read up on bahl when he was in jersey. Seemed like a shut down defensemen, doesn't drive offense but they were pretty skeptical on any progress from him.

Hopefully he can play more appropriate minutes and show signs of improvement.

He's just trying to prevent flames fans suicide if Oilers continue their comeback
