Around The League: Playoffs 2026

[GEEMAN]

That's a very simplistic way of putting it.....because we both know it has nothing to do with numbers. Look at how McDavid is fed up with media, what makes us think he's gonna jump from Oilers to an even crazier media jungle in Montreal.

His agent will push for a team that will always be able to attract talent to surround him, even as he hits his 30's.....and those are more likely to be US teams (especially in those with no state taxes).

He can win in his Cup in Nevada, Florida, Texas....doesn't need to live the pressure cooker of MTL. Gorton himself said that you get lost in US cities, but you can't go anywhere in MTL

(i'm getting better at this WeHave thing....or worse if you look at it that way)

Exactly CMD is not going through round 2 of the lunacy of a Canadian market

Needs a competitive team with the assets to make it work without ripping apart their depth moving forward

Misa, Musty, Dickinson + 2 1st rd

Need at least 1 proven roster player like Ekland or Smith

and yet, you never did

I did! repeatedly!!!

that's like saying we have Theo, we don't need to draft Price

Oilers have been trying to find a taker for Purse since the day he signed that contract (which McDavid apparently insisted with management that they resign his buddy Purse)

well no one is taking Purse, and Hughes will be guillotined if he takes him for Hutson

Hutson is untouchable

Hutson is untouchable

Hutson is NOT untouchable….

McDavid, Celebrini, Schaefer….you wouldn’t trade Hutson for any of these guys ?

Nobody is untouchable….the closest thing to being untouchable are probably those 3 players, and maybe add MacKinnon, Makar…
