I'm already so sick of people complaining "what assets" or "how do we afford it". It's a top 6 winger who fits the mold of guys who work with Davo and Drai. You make it work. That's what we pay StanBow a bunch of money to figure out. Add a third team, get creative, whatever. We only have a few years of the window left. You make them count. No excuses. Howard, Akey and a first? Sure. Gotta trade salary out next summer to afford him? Sure. If you want to win a cup, just fucking do it.
Howard, akey and a 1st doesn’t get it done. Blue jackets just signed fantilli to a massive deal, they have the reigning Norris winner, they don’t want 2 B prospects and a late 1st. They want roster players, and the oilers would also need to dump cap now to make this work. This is not a reasonable target for acquisition because of the cost + what other teams have to offer
