The Oilers could use Kane if it does actually happen.

These are the Oilers players available today as per Stauffer.
Leon - McD-Ryan
Hyman - NUGE - Yamo
Foegele - McLeod - JP
Kostin - Shore - Janmark.

Now I am not sure if they got 11-7.

Once E. Kane is back, he takes over for probably Ryan. But with both JP and Yamo not really emerging as top 6 guys, they could use another one.

We largely had this for most of the season and it wasn't enough.

My first preference would be upgrading the backend with a top 4 (if not 2!) Dman. But barring that, adding P Kane would be the next option. And then hope and pray whatever team we face that we can simply outscore their defence and goalie. We are NOT a team that can score 1 or 2 and then shut down the other team and ride out a win.

I’d argue adding Karlsson, not at the expense of losing Bouchard, would give this d a sizeable difference. If Ceci isn’t relied upon as your RD1, but rather your RD2/3 you’re winning already. Rolling Nurse/Karlsson-Kulak/Ceci-Broberg/Bouch/Vin is considerably better than what we have going now. Nothing against Barrie, I like Barrie, he’s performed (offensively) very well for this team.

I think Domi is much more attainable than Kane. If they change course to Domi and Lafferty, with Chicago retaining on Domi while sending Yamo and whatever required pick, the forward group is in a much better place also.

Just curious. I have read that Bouchard almost seems to be untouchable in a lot of peoples reasoning. What is the reasoning for this? Seems to me anyone whos name doesn't start with McD or Dra should be on the table.

If you're going to give up a NHL calibre defensemen on cheap contracts who seemed poised to make a jump in play at the very time you need cheap players to make a jump in play the return better be worth it.

I wouldn't say Bouchard and Broberg are untouchable I just think sending them away should be carefully contemplated and be backed by well reasoned decision making. I don't think the current Oilers management is capable of careful contemplated or well reasoned decision making.

But if these were solid NHL dmen we wouldn't be looking for a solid bonafide dman. Bouchard's season has been a regression not a breakout. If he gets SJ to retain enough to make it work I say do it. Our window is now. If we are going to Ron Jeremy this Smurfette we need to ram it in hard and worry about the consequenses later.

Ron was on the verge of serving 300 years in prison, but was “saved” by dementia from being sentenced (possibly much worse sentence). What was that about consequences?

Dont know where I was but I heard nothing of this. I thought he was still cool cause people were comaring Matthews to him. My mistake. I maintain my sentiments though. We still need to John Holmes this perverbial thing.
