Alternatively, sign Gulutzan and Burke to lifetime contracts.

Burke would absolutely be an upgrade over Benning.

JVR's defence is so insanely bad that they can probably replace his net production at a fraction of the price.

The Islanders were the worst team in the league for shots and goals allowed, so. I mean the oilers are bad for lots of reasons but it's not like they can't also be right about Eberle.

The point was that it's really hard to replace a guy who consistently puts up points, even if he sucks at defense.

I forget which of the lovely PK/PP Woodcroft was responsible for, I think the PK, but the Oilers continue to avoid firing people by just moving them to different positions.

We need to find an update to that Edmonton Organizational chart thingie that came out a few years ago. It's probably even stupider and more convoluted now.

Isn't Klefbom the better defender by a wide margin, with Risto being the better puck mover?

Yes but you see Klefbom had a bad season last year so he's clearly unsalvageable.

trading defence to acquire defence is the new trading top line scoring for defence.

Outside of McDavid and maybe Draisaitl the Oilers don't have any top-line scoring left.

My takeaway is that the Penguins are attempting to sell high on Kessel - his production is great, but his underlying numbers are worrisome and he's getting to the age where a lot of players drop off offensively.
