No way, Cloutier once again has his list of players to keep & not to keep & to no one's surprise, the list of "not to keeps" is all garbage - wow that took intelligence to figure that out.

And now Cloutier is talking about if we could add Jones, Drouin, Mackinnon or Barkov, we'd be fine. Well actually Drouin is not big so how would he help??

Second, you need defense, not forwards so stop with this garbage of continuing to add forwards when clearly your defense is the problem.

See, the Oilers could improve pretty quick IF they stop telling all of us about this so-called "untouchables" list. Move a couple of those players & bring back a top-line d-man & a gritting winger who can score.

Enough already with the "untouchable" list because clearly, this "untouchable" list isn't doing squat!!

Epic. Cloutier needed to hear/read this.

Again they are the same type players you already have. It's Seth Jones or trade the pick.

The Oilers aren't talking about untouchables!!!!!

If you can't tell the difference between a hockey team and a uninformed blogger perhaps you should consider doing the world a favor and give yourself a lobotomy with a rusty railroad spike.

God am I tired of us all being judged by the verbal trots that Cloutier spews.

The fact that Cloutier works for a college (in a position other than janitor) completely amazes me.

A massive problem the oilers have is their "untouchable" players, eberle, Yakupov, RNH, hall, J. Schultz, or klefbom.

Now name me a player on this team that could get anything of value other than the 6 I just mentioned.

I would have eberle as my only untouchable. See what the trade offers are for the other 5. You could probably get 3 great young players for one.

This is the smartest thing said around here in weeks . How a person with 1 goal and 7 assists in 24 gaes is untouchable is a real joke.

So how about Nuge for Yandle.

Boston gave up on Thornton early on. That's not a comparable before you get your ass hairs up.

Main problem is that these guys are all still so young and have no real quality veterans to insulate them with until they are ready to truly run this team. That is strictly a management (frank) up.

How many years did it take the Sedin sisters to hit their potential?

Of course you do have a point writing off a 19 year old first overall pick is the wise thing to do, I mean he'll never be Sedin good. He sure has hell hasn't proven enough to be Corey Schneider untouchable.

Understandable . So do you wait for 5 years at the bottom to see if they develop?

I agree with the guy from Quebec , Eberle should be untradable . Everyone else should be available for the right piece.

What have we won with the Sedins?

I am still convinced we don't win a cup for years.

I like the Oilers, always have, but these days they're just proof that looking good on paper is an entirely different thing than being good on the field of play. Too much hype around their young core, which in the end, is not as awesome as their fans were led to believe. The Nuge and Yakupov are going to be above average NHLers at best. Maybe their next first rounder will live up to the hype...maybe!
