            I wasn't sure horses had been invented yet back then.

            It's fun to listen to 640 Toronto (TuneIn Radio) when they talk Leafs.

                I say Edmonton. I'm not sold on Andersen being the 'clutch' playoff goalie Toronto needs.

                I would not put money on either one though. I think Edmonton's window is shorter, especially given that Cam Talbot is already 30, and who knows if Nick Ellis is good enough for the NHL.

                    That team could be so much better is the frustrating thing to think about. They could still have Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle :facepalm:

                      I think we can all agree it won't be Vancouver.

                          You can take the Thrashers out of Atlanta, but you can never take the losing out of the Thrashers.

                            I think the Oilers got better with the Larsson/Hall trade. They needed a dman more than a left wing who has yet to score 30 goals in a season and doesn't care to play defense. The Eberle trade was done to free up cap space for next year when the McD contract starts up. They are rolling the dice on Strome.

                            The Oilers have signed some bad contracts on aging players, plus there goalie is getting old. They may be the next Canadian cup winner, but I agree the window is a short one.

                              They didn't get better because of the Larsson Hall trade, they got better because McDavid played a full season and they got unsustainably good goaltending from a guy who was almost 30. This is why Dom L's preseason predictions have the Oilers getting more like 93 points next year and not 100. Hall is a top five player at his position and Larsson is a low end first pairing D at best. They easily could have room for these guys without the horrid Lucic contract too.

                              With the D they just needed someone to get the puck to McDavid and go from there. The guy is so good he can make Kris Russell look competent and a guy like Larsson look much better than he is. The Penguins without Letang were the same way basically.

                                We have different views on Hall. I also think Larsson is better than people give him credit for. He was +15 his last year in NJ and that team was awful. He played well for the Oilers this last year and played a lot of minutes.

                                Lucic is the worst of the three contracts I was thinking are bad. Sekera's will be viewed as bad in a few years and I don't get the Russell contract from the start.
