Yeah and Galchenyuk will be better than any of your top 6. Most balanced player.

You know BALANCE??

Oilers suck right now and will for at least 3 years if the dont change mentality.

Woah, easy there.

False.

No Gionta, no Markov, No Galchenyuk, no Gallagher.
- soad_live

He didnt list Gally or Gallagher. And yes you had Gio and Markov.

And it doesnt surprise me that you profess that Gally will be better than all 6 of the top Oilers.

Keep trolling...Montreal will crash.

Check Yost's post.

That's debatable, but i don't see a single young gun being as defensively responsible as Galchenyuk. That being said, are you the kind of guy that say Yakupov is better than Galchenyuk?

If so, no nedd to argue here because that will never be the case.

False. We never get UFA we want, and ending up with overpaid plan B. Thats the reality.
- soad_live

And who do the Oilers get? Overpriced plan D. I hope you don't start trying to convince me that the Canadiens have the same problems as the Oilers do during FA period else we'll have to have a lengthy discussion/circle jerk.

yea ur right... i feel so bad for edmonton because no on wants to play there..... get over urselfs ..... they don't wanna play there cause they don't see the management doing a good job.... any team that is at the bottom of the standings has to over pay for ufa's.

I really dont know yet which of the two are better, but Eberle to me is probably the best of the whole crop. Right now, its only ignorance that can dictate who will in fact be the best of the bunch, but one thing I do know is that the odds are stacked highly in Edmontons favour when they have Eberle, Yak, RNH and Hall VS Gal.

Lol... Your new to having a young star rookie on your team.


I'll give you a pass.

Thats the thing. Same reason Leaf fans go all ga-ga over guys like Kadri and Rielly. Just not used to it.

First off, I can't say that what I've seen would indicate that Galch is a great defensive player, but, that being said, I can't say I've watched a lot of Habs games, either. I'll drop it for now.

edmonton has star rookies? whens the last time an oiler won rookie of the year?

I'm not trolling. I'm here to try explain why Edmonton doesn't show up, this year again.

Dunnyk is not a number one goaltender. Maybe he will one day but not this year. Shultz is not a no.1 defensman but surely will. Your top six is filled with talent, but the won't win in a men league, not until they are men.

And one of you brought the Hab's, not me. I never said the Habs will win the cup or not fall.

i dunno if we should trust ur math.... that is 6 guys... not 5 guys on montreal.
- derm10

so when I included Gomez buy-out, but then said 5 guys "playing" as in playing for Montreal, I lied? I think we need a new hockeybuzz for frenchies. #vivelaseparation

First off, I can't say that what I've seen would indicate that Galch is a great defensive player, but, that being said, I can't say I've watched a lot of Habs games.

RNH gets compared to Datsyuk for a reason. He's worked wonders defensively this year, but just hasn't had his offensive game quite there if you get what I mean (sophomore slump and all). Eberle was more responsible last season, but I don't know what happened. Hall is always back checking because he hates losing and Yakupov is fresh to the league. I don't expect strong defensive awareness from him anytime soon.

In time, defense will likely come. Look at Gagner now. He's just now getting played on the PK with frequency and he's been one of the best PKers in the league thus far. Just give it time and we'll see how it plays out.

but isn;t gally fresh to the league too....?

edmonton has star rookies? whens the last time an oiler won rookie of the year?

So there's only one star rookie a year?


You can do better.

ok so with there current roster montreal is a top cup contender.. entering a dynasty?

Edmonton needs to patient. There will be lots of buyouts and FAs this summer where they can fill needs without giving up assets. If that fails, then maybe trading has to be considered.

no he doesn't... and i guess u are calling them a cup contender?
- derm10

yes he does. The amnesty clause comes in to play after this season. That's why players will be bought out in the off season. Bergevin just bought Gomez out early because he didn't want him around, so he'll be against the cap for 2013.

So there's only one star rookie a year?

i didn't say there was only on... just asked when an oiler last won rookie of the year.... hard question i know.

Thanks for your expertise in explaining this to us.


Good job.

but isn;t gally fresh to the league too....?

yea. Gally isn't defensively great either.

No it's an easy question.


I'm sure you can figure it out and come up with all the answers you are looking for.

What is your explaination?? Because there is one. tell me.

If you mean personality wise, than that's complete bullsh1t

I stopped reading as soon as I got to that part. Clouts is playing the "I got inside sources" game. He uses it to try and bring validity to his opinions.

in the eyes of montreal fan hb users, yes
- TheNugeIsHuge

and urs i guess tooo..otherwise why would u use them as an example to show how u will be able to hold on to ur untouchables and still be a contender under the cap.
