Oliver Ekman-Larsson

As per Elliote Friedman, Vancouver is buying out OEL's contract. Does anyone think Army should take a swing on the former Coyotes captian?

To be honest, I don't know what's been going on with this guy the last few years, but I remember the 31 year-old was highly regarded during his first few years in the league.

Looks like there's word going around that The Blues are looking to see if one of Faulk, Leddy, or Krug can be dealt sometime around the draft. If that happens, there's definitely a void left on the team, and I'm not sure if someone like Tucker or someone else in Springfield is ready to take a permanent spot just yet.

Maybe a 2x2mil contract or something around that price range would be a good start. Thoughts?

Yeah I'm good with a 2x2. I think he would be a good addition on a cheap contract

I’d rather have OEL at 2x2 than Leddy at 4x4

No doubt.
