Keith Acton adding to the coaching staff. Bucky and Smith stick around

This thread is a joke.

Non-Oiler fans:
-You guys Need Letang
-Letang would never sign an extension to live in Sh!tty Edmonton

(most) Oiler fans:
Letang is a great player,but wants too much money,trade cost is too high,and is not really the ideal D-Man for the Oilers.

Non-Oiler fans:
-You can't get him without Eberle,your 1st,and Klefbom

(most Oiler fans):
- But we don't really want him?

Non Oiler fans:
-Fine. Make it Hall,Klef and your first and the Pens will talk to you.

(most) Oilers fans:
-Huh? WTF?

I always liked orange

Doesn't Letang remind anyone of the french guy in 'Goon'?

Maybe it's just me.

ridiculous if you ask me.

Richard, seriously would love to see Letang
in an Oiler uniform but not at the expense of our future. Trading our first round pick and Klefbom plus another young forward is over payment! Lots of Canuck and leaf fans rambling that it will take one of the top six to as well are drinking tainted L'Tang. These Leaf and Canuck fans are living in a state of sugar plums they always over rate their own players and bash other Canadian teams...it's all about being insecure folks!!
Stay the course MacT ....keep the core and build around them

This is it exactly...

No matter how much we say we don't want someone they keep trying to push them on us for ridiculous prices. Garth and Buffalo Fans with Miller, this Letang poop, TO and Phaneuf....

How about just let Letang play out his last year in Pitt then sign him as a UFA if we wanted him? No need to give up the world.

Per reports, Pelss had been out partying and stated he had wanted to swim in the river, but friends talked him out of it. #oilers #OKCBarons

@AHLBarons
After they left, Pelss went on his own and jumped from the bridge a little ways out from the shore. #OKCBarons #oilers

Well- I guess we will see but for the most part I was hoping Eakins would bring in his own staff...

It's a good will move by the new coach. He'll let the old guys have a shot at staying, but don't be surprised to see one or both of the oldguard replaced before the end of the year.

Yeah I'd say if there's a team that has the assets they could use to land Letang it'd be the Oilers


But...Would Letang want to sign long-term there?

I don't see why not, it'd be like playing with the Penguins all over again

Once again....no thanks. Don't want him. Especially not for the price. Not the type of guy we need.

I thought there would be more action with the oil... guess its the same old poop... either that or I am very impatient... MacT is on the clock...

Just finished watching Big Bang theory... Is it just me or is penny really, really (frank)able.
- HouseArrest187

Very much so

Everything is suggesting he had the choice of keeping them or not. What kinda gets me is he didn't interview anyone other than Acton though.

I can't remember where I read it, but MacT has been wanting to deal for quite some time. Sounds like the old vet GM's aren't in a panic. Not surprising though these (frank)ing guys need deadlines to get poop done.

Said he was his top choice so ill respect him for that. As for bucky and smith I was hoping they would bring in new guys too but Eakins made a good point with keeping some form of continuity with young players

I think you have to be more patient. Even if he is anxious to do something, he needs a partner. Not always easy to just go out and pull the trigger on a deal. I think we'll see something this weekend.

Edit:

Anyone catch the episode of Oil change during trade deadline? When the deal between Wash/Nash was announced with Forsberg/Erat and they were all standing around talking about it. Lowe did not look to pleased and Tambo had a sheepish look. I think that was when Lowe decided that it was time for change. I think he believed Edmonton could have made that deal by sweetening the pot a little.

Fair enough. Personally like MacT with his process, would've been nice to see Eakins interview more just simply to get some more opinions.

Fact is we weren't looking for a head coach, but Eakins said something and MacT loved him for it. At the very least Eakins could've heard what more people think the Oil should do.
