A necessary loss
Good luck to Evander in Vancouver. Let's hope this leads to good moves for the OIlers.
He is definitly an important piece but not worth the 10 million he wants. I would be more inclined to a 4 year deal.
Iam okay with this trade, now Arvidsson must go. Lets lock up Bouchard.
When I first saw the trade, I thought that it was for Demko.
Patrick, I also posted this on Dolynny tv, I think this means no Demo trade or they would have simply traded 5 million dollar contracts.
I was a big fan of Kane on the Oilers. I wish him all the best in Vancouver.
Liked Kane as an Oilers! Good luck to him in Vancouver.
Good riddance. The guy is a self centered liability to any team.
Bummer next is nurse or Bouchard
Absolutely huge that they didn't have to retain any salary. Kane is a good player, but it just seemed like sometimes he didn't have much self control, and that hurt him and the team. Very excited to see what happens next.
Bouchard under 9 okay, should be under 8, but not likely. The problem is McDavid likes him too much, and makes public statements to that effect. That means they pay him 1-2 mil more than they would have. McDavid is hurting the team regarding salary cap space. Why can't he see that??? It's not like the Oilers aren't going to spend to the cap anyways. He's just hurting his chances, and even 7 mil would be a good contract for Bouch.
Thanks for your rundown Patrick good luck Evander back home in Vancouver
This was the worst thing that could happend for edmonton im sick and tirred of edmonton oilers stupid trades soon i give up on this idiot team
I totaly hate this trade so unbelivebel stupid trade
I think keep stan bowman is going to fuck up the oilers they can't lose grit
He brought Grit & scoring…… He only had 1 year left on his contract……. The Oilers need to rewatch the FINAL so they make the right moves……
If they can lock in Bouchard for 8 million a year for 4 years that would be a good number. Amazing offense and can continue his defensive work. Would still be young enough to get another big contract also. Plus it give the Oilers 8 million in cap space to do something else. Moving Arvidson would also give them that extra space. Trade him back to LA for Foegle. 😅
Oilers are going to miss his toughness but they did this to pay Bouchard the 10-11M he wants
best deal for Oiler
Get rid of Bouchard now !
I liked Evander Kane but he didn't know how to keep his stick down and took some bad penalties in the final. Not sure he was 100% in the end and likely will play really well for the Canucks.
I don't like the trade kane is a good player why just get a draft pick in return?
Kane heading home . He has been a good player when healthy but it was time for him to move on. Thanks for being an oiler.
I liked him as well! He was a gritty, in your face kind of guy without taking a penalty. I thought something might have happened at the end of last yea; Anyone remember him and Corey Perry having words? Then he went on the IR. To many penalties in the Playoffs & the Oilers couldn't take him out of the series against Florida. Good luck in Vancouver Evander!
Hate to see him go but the cap situation made it inevitable. Hope he does well in Vancouver.
They will extend Bouchard but I hope he can beef up his game and defend more reliably. Hell of a player at his best but too often he's just plain sloppy in his own end.
I'm sad to see Evander go. He's been a stand-up guy with the team but he became a cap casualty and hopefully it means the team will go out and get someone younger.
Love Kane, gonna miss him! Best to him! OK Bouchard, loose him on D, move him up up front, and get a guy who WANTS to play defense!
I wish Kane all the best. I didnt mind him at the start, but havent been a huge fan in last couple years.
I love Bouchard, i hope we get him in that 8yr 10 mil.
I have seen some rumours of interest in brock boeser and /or matias maccelli.
Also heard that stars have been allowed to chat with glen gulutzan for their head coach slot thats open. And it has been done. So now its a wait and see game there as well.
