If they didn't sign Schultz I may be swayed.


Yak isn't going anywhere anytime soon. You take the best player with the best pick.


I'm just excited to see him join the fold.

I agree. I would have drafted him too. But I think Eberle, Hall and RNH will be better. If they all pan out like many people think they will then I'm not sure how the Oilers will be able to keep all of them. I would rather have 3 stud forwards and 2 stud d-men then 4 forwards and 1 d-man (schultz)

If they can't afford them they trade one for assets. Good assets.

They also have other quality dmen like Klefbom coming up.


There's no book on how to build a champion, and right now the Oilers are probably the most intriguing team in the league.

Lets see how they fair.

give it some time, oilers fans will turn on yakupov, he'll clash with the canadian kids, and theyll run him out of town. one prima donna for another.

Nothing would be funner than watching Luongo kvetch under the bright lights of Tornoto.

Most overated goalie ever.

Outside of the Kessel trade, name a bad trade that Burke made with the Leafs.

trading up to get biggs. might not be a bad deal in the future. But right now the ducks look like they found a good, young goalie. something the leafs might/might not have.

The Leafs have a lot to accomplish before Burke's contribution to Toronto can even begin to compare to what Tallon did with the Hawks. Not even close right now.

Kipper is the only goalie you named that you can compare Lu to in terms of wins and stats. Sure some you named may be better but that doesn't make Lu overrated. He is a proven elite goaltender. Your list sucks btw.

.920 Save percentage over the past 3 seasons is far from overrated.
