If I had to guess, I think bowman has 2 plans based off what happens with Leo Carlsson.
Carlsson No Match - Edmonton goes all in for Owen Tippett.
Carlsson Matched - Edmonton sees if DeBrusk’s price is relatively cheap, if not just sign Tarasenko to a 1 year deal.
Why is every Oilers fan trying to move Emberson? He was legitimately one of our only good penalty killers last year. He was the only Oilers defenceman in the playoffs to have an xGF% above 50%. He improved so much throughout the season, and pairing him with Shea would make for an unbelievable third pairing.
