Jack Adams is basically the coach of the team who exceeded expectations by the most. | i know...either would've worked with the roster
i just found it amusing

Habs acquire Schlemko from Vegas for 2019 5th round pick
Galchenyuk deal looks like it's in the works as well

Jack Adams is basically the coach of the team who exceeded expectations by the most. | Jack Adams winners usually also have a goalie that is a finalist or winner of the Vezina

Where they had a pressing need was top 6 scoring (I know I know).
All playoffs they had a conundrum- play Leon with Connor or have Leon play second line center and support a line mostly by himself. By adding Strome who can play either RW or C it adds another swingman who can take a center spot so the Oilers can stack their first line. Or if they need more scoring depth, play Connor-Leon-Strome 1-2-3 or have Strome play somewhere in the top 6 as a winger. The trade makes them more dangerous up front with extra versatility. Eberle did mostly nothing all season (and especially all playoffs), and he most definitely cannot play center.
tl;dr: Van is going to be swept by the Oil in their season series.

^ Yup this too. Makes lots of sense for the Oil on multiple fronts.
Plus Eberle needs a change of scenery. All of the old young guys who were given the keys to the team were ruined by the recent stretch of horrible Oiler hockey. Hopefully Eberle can find some chemistry with JT because it's been a while since JT has had a bonafide scorer available to him (aside from himself lol)

From what I've gathered with JT (including wondering why the hell he would sign that extension) is that he's extremely loyal to the Isles but just wants to see progress. If they can pick up an actual goalie they don't have a bad team (and their defence is relatively good and young).
Personally if I was JT I'm going into free agency and either chasing a championship, or getting paid to play somewhere else that has a better chance than NYI. That leaves more than half of the teams in the NHL. But unfortunately I'm not JT  | |

Preds are interested in acquiring Matt Duchene only if the price is not steep:
Darren Dreger
✔ @DarrenDreger
Nashville is definitely interested in Matt Duchene. However, if trade ask is for a defenceman, the Preds likely aren't a fit by choice
