Britishbulldog said:Well, not to totally derail the 'Phaneuf to Oilers' thread but I am solidly in yours and Corn Flakes camp. Colorado is tying up a lot of money in their 3rd center and could use Liles. Saves Colorado a lot of salary as well.
Roy said that right now if they stay at first overall they are going to pick MacKinnon and he'll likely slot in as their 3rd line centre behind Duchene and Stastny. Ryan O'Reilly would be moved to the wing.
If you take his word for it, then it probably means none of those guys will be available for trade.
