So, let's just say for the sake of argument that the salary cap holds firm at around $56 Million per team for next season. Wouldn't it be great if the Oilers could ice a team that looked like this:
Heatley Horcoff Hemsky
$7.5 $5.5 $4.1
Cogliano Gagner O'Sullivan
$1.133 $1.625 $2.925
Moreau Madden Pisani
$2.0 $3.0 $2.5
J.F.J. Brodziak Stortini
$.525 $1.0 $.700
Bouwmeester Gilbert
$6.5 $4.0
Smid Grebeshkov
$3.0 $3.5
Staios Peckham
$2.7 $.600
Garon
$2.5
JDD
$.625
It's time to purge the system. Package Nilsson and Penner with Schremp and one of Souray or Visnovsky to land Heatley and a 1st Round Draft Pick from the Senators. Move the remaining high-priced puck-moving D-Man plus your two First Round Draft Picks for a shot at moving up to get either Tavares or Hedman. Dump Horcoff, Moreau, and Pisani at the Trade Deadline or next offseason to make room for Tavares/Hedman, Eberle, Nash, and Brule, as well as new contracts for Cogs, and Gagner.
In this scenario, the future would indeed be very bright.

I would be willing to trade O'Sullivan if it mean we could pick up a guy like Antropov.
ReplyDeleteAlso, do you think Mathieu Garon wants to return now that Peeters and MacTavish are now gone? If that were the case, I wouldn't mind having Ty Conklin back too, though it would spell the end of the JDD days.
I'm with you on Garon, it would be great to have him and his Stanley Cup ring back in the fold, but let us never again speak of the other goaltender you mention, he whose name we do not speak.
