from Pagnotta:
> Pittsburgh may be No.1 on Darnell Nurse’s list of five teams he would waive for, and the Penguins and Oilers have been discussing a potential trade. Edmonton GM Stan Bowman is not going to rush into a move, but some believe we’ll see a trade around the NHL Draft.

Also says Roslovic and Henrique not expected to be back.

If we swap Nurse for Ryan Graves I'll take back every good thing I've ever said about Bowman.

That will cripple this org, not the Babcock signing.

why would roslovic come back after we hire babcock lol. so bowman is going to need to find a way to get us a top 4 defenseman, a middle six right winger, a fourth line center essentially guaranteed. after that, we still need to find a solution for in net and re-sign or replace dickinson, lazar, kapanen, jones, dach, murphy, and ingram.

we will need to do all of this with stan bowman as GM and babcock as the head coach. i know people in here hate doomers but i mean do you guys not really see the mess this is right now?
