It fits because its true

Yes, but one is half the price of the other.

That does NOT mean Moving forward with Baertschi is a good plan.
Not a reliable line-mate for Horvat.
No Grit.
And now, officially isn't able or allowed to have grit. "No dirty areas". mm
Skates with his head down too much.>>>>quite fast actually>>>(insert smiley for "call 911).
Listening to some of his last interviews, he is scared of what could happen. And it could.
His point totals suck considering who he's been gifted a chance to play with.
"Go get em, Sven !", just doesn't sound right anyways.
He does give the impression of looking smooth and poised but there is NO consistency.

I'd prefer to sign a different guy to a 2-3 year deal for free (i.e. give up no assets) rather than pick up Nylander - Connolly, Eberle, Anders Lee, Ferland, etc. Ideally you don't have to commit to the # of years Nylander has left plus take on a big yearly number as well.

There's a few guys with the chance to be as good or better than Nylander this draft in Boldy, Krebs, Caufield, Newhook, etc, and they're younger on ELCs. Might take them a year or two but we have time, rather focus on that.

That's 10 mil off the books for them, Lucic would have to waive his NMC as part of the deal and moving forward so he doesn't take up a roster spot at the expansion draft.

Really not sure that’s worth moving up 2 spots in the draft. At least not enough to live with Lucic’s contract for 4 more years

Unlikely to happen now with Holland the new GM in Edmonton, as he loves draft picks. I expect the Oil will begin ripping it down again this offseason though they’ll probably try to get better quickly, as Holland also loves to stay competitive when he has star players like McDavid.
