A lot of synergy to Jeremy Roenick, eh? Both quit in LA, both went to another team, both became fossils in their new locale all the while tarnishing their history just a tad.

Please shut up dude!

Interesting ... was it a week ago Edmonton was going to be Cup contenders according to Clouts? Time has changed.

What did SI say about this unbelievable team?
- whipper334

SI is worse then ESPN

you're right EDM sucks. Might as well drop behind CBJ. Hmm that's still not last. Focus on FLA/worst team in the league's problems bub
- TheNugeIsHuge

Does that make you feel better? Our GM is Tallon, the guy who got Chicago their first cup in over 4 decades.

Have fun keeping Tambellini as your GM, the guys a plug. Maggie The Monkey could have drafted these players, but at least she would have spun the wheel and added some talent.

Exactly, it's called a rebuild, most people are willing to demand one, very few are willing to live through it, as this blogger has shown. Just gotta wait it out, the future is bright , but right now there's not much anyone can do to turn the team around fast, unless fans are willing to see one of their 5 untouchable players get dealt. Until the main guys turn into the players they are projected to be, this team will struggle.

I dont believe the Oilers need to trade Hall,Nuge,Eberle,Yakupov or J. Shultz to get the help they need,any other player I didnt mention can bring some help.

Yep and it's still really hard to know where they'd be right now with Horcs healthy.

I'd hazard a guess to say at least one for the left column but the first line is a really tiny sample man.

he said that

edmonton you can have ian white, been a healthy scratch for us,

So, that whole "we'll suck and just go for the #1 overall pick for a few years, then be really good and kick everyone's ass" thing, ... I'm guessing that's not the plan now?

Don't get me wrong, it looks great on paper - but in practice, it's a painful thing and can take years to come to fruition. In the meantime, you find out just how patient you can be at dealing with losing on a regular basis: your patience tends to run out faster than you thought it would.

I'm fine with the "rebuild".... What I'm not fine with is managements inept attempts to plug holes.

1) We need a top four d-man.... so management goes out and gets

A) Jim Vandermeer
B) Cam Barker
C) Corey Potter
D) Andy Sutton

We have the best collection of 5/6 d-men in the entire NHL. Kind of like how the Flames have the best collection of 4th line forwards.

2) We need a big physical top six skilled winger.... so management goes out and gets

A) Ben Eager
B) Darcy Hordichuk
C) Lennart Petrell
D) Mike Brown

A) Darcy Hor

Also because Tallon had the talent of Kane and Toews. maggie the monkey couldve drafted them.

It's Clouts... As soon as they get another ( I won't say it) #1 pick he'll say it all over again.

Seth Jones FTW !!!!

Cloutier, they might be able to do something but you along with management has this untouchable list & that's the reason why nothing happens.

No one wants the other garbage you keep mentioning so if you want value & talent then maybe start parting with it!!!

I can't believe how you never point that out yet all i read is the Oilers need to get better, get stronger up front, add a top-flite d-man - yadeyadeya!!!

Great idea but in order to do that say good-bye to one of your top 6 players or the 1st round pick this year - end of story.

Stop posting the same crap time after time after time!!

Dude, wouldn't it be awesome if you got him, and dude, you guys still sucked?

There are really 3 untouchables on this team. Eberle Hall Schultz. the rest can be had for the right price

Either way, I miss the guy and EDM desperately misses him. If i have to see VV play another shift I'll hang myself.

Hey, at least were consistant?

Dubey had a .917 before tonight. And a .926 in tonight's game. How in hell, is Dubey the problem in a 3-0 loss??? Dubey didn't score that 1 single (frank)ing goal!!!!!?!?!???

I give up on life
- TheNugeIsHuge

Perhaps not, but 2.83 gaa is not the best either.
Last ten games: 3 1 4 3 3 1 4 4 3 2

By no means bad, but also (from what I have seen) not screaming franchise goalie who will win games on his back when needed. If you got Miller or someone like him, even if giving up a huge piece, I think it may do wonders.

Are most Edmonton fans pretty much committed to Dubnyk?

See, everyone harped on me all year about loving Ganger and hating Hemsky. Why trade Hemsky, we need to get rid of Gagner. This is why. Hemsky is great for the 30 games a season he plays. Gagner is a work horse every night. He doesn't have the talent the other top 6 do but he comes to play. He may get better, who knows but at least he leads by example. More than I can say for our vets.

This team is trashed and I don't even blame them. Lowe needed to be gone long ago but for some reason Katz kept him. Then Tamb came in and got entrenched and stopped doing anything. Proving Lowe to be the second worst GM in Oilers History. Then Tamb gives Krueger a shot at coaching instead of a... real NHL coach and it goes bust. So now we are stuck in a position where our President of Hockey Operations should have been fired years ago. But before that we need a new GM and a new coach. Which sucks because Krueger had potential on paper, he is just... really, really bad. He is not able to put together simple line combinations. Change has to start at the top (oh and dubnyk sucks).

Also because Tallon had the talent of Kane and Toews. maggie the monkey couldve drafted them.

- TheNugeIsHuge

You're a genious. Kane was a 1st, Toews was a 3rd overall. Florida has to hit the cap floor, it's a rule in case your that stupid. Since you're so fluent with the league's transactions you would know that Campbell was acquired via trade, and then had his best statistical year with Florida.

Nice try, though, what else you got?

- Oilfan19

I'd say Nuge, Hall, Schultz. If Nuge is gone, who's the 1C? Eberle could be replaced by Yak and vice versa.

I'd trade Eberle or Yak to get like OEL in return, but I don't think PHO would do that. (don't overreact oiler fans, OEL is a STUD DMAN)

I take solace in the fact that as stupid as Lowbellini is, at least they aren't Jay Feaster stupid.
