Would you be willing to make a swap of a more defensive defenseman for a more offensive defenseman?

Sure, if he's out there.

You're talking Dougie Hamilton or something like that?

I'd like to see that.

I'd like to see a little bit more juice out of that.

I guess McCabe or Carlo would be your answer on that.

I think those two guys would have value, a lot of value.

I think they need more juice out of their back end, puck movement, a little more speed back there.

No.

My last year, we got him because I played well, but the team struggled.

And then I remember the captain skates.

I was looking across at him in the summer.

I'm like, I don't want to be here.

And he was probably thinking, I'm so happy to be here.

I just thought I did not want to play anymore.

Totally different story.

Yeah, no, I hear it.

I mean, I think that this team is slow starting.

I think a lot of their parts of the game are improving.

So I'd be willing to hang on to a few of these assets for the Oilers, just a hair longer than maybe I would have needed.
