Boy, I hope Miller doesn't get traded to Edmonton. It will be ugly. What will happen first?

1. edm doesnt have the space. ***Well it would be a trade so...***
2. goaltending is probably 4th or 5th on their list of needs. **it shouldn't be***
3. dubs is signed to a much better contract. **Considering he sucks....No**
4. dubs actually put up better numbers. at half the price. and with an arguably worse defence. at least comparably bad anyways. **Miller was left to dry all year***
5. miller would prob cost a fair amount in a trade. and could walk in a year. **So could Dubnyk**
6. if edm is gonna give up a good package in a deal, theyd move for a big top 6 winger, a quality 3rd line winger or a top 4 dman, all before another goalie ** It should be***


even if miller is better than dubnyk (he has proven a lot more over his career-dubs is only 26) that deal makes no sense for edm. goaltending is NOT the issue.

ALL of this. The fact Dubnyk won't be on team Canada means absolutely nothing to his argument - he used logic and reason to argue that the Miller to Edm nonsense is, in fact, that. Nonsense. Your response displays your immaturity and lack of knowledge.

By the way, if Miller was from Toronto (that means he would be Canadian), he would have ZERO chance at making Team Canada. Not that THAT has anything to do with Miller to Edm being nonsense.

At least, that's what my sources indicate (tsc4)

My post displays how little I care about the Edmonton Oilers.

Your post displays how little you know about hockey. Dubs wouldn't crack a single Olympic roster. Maybe Switzerland or Austria.

NHL Network never should have made that "Oil change' series. They did way to good of making a 1-3-1 homestand look like progress. Ever since you have all become a bunch of crackpots and way to in love with your own team.

No, not at all. It's an opinion shared by many. Edmonton and buffalo are both poop holes.. Rivaled only by possibly Winnipeg. Get over it.

way out in front of the Miller situation? considering absolutely nothing has happened, that's quite a feat for GARTH.

GARTH is a joke by the way.

No one wants Miller. First he is terrible. Second, have you seen his legs? Its freaky. He has to get custom pads made. It is just weird. Like circus weird.

You are a typical moron. Impossible to discuss anything with you because you don't understand how to logically reason, instead you get angry and bring up things that are either: generalizations or irrelevant. I'm right about everything I'm saying because Miller wouldn't be the starting goalie for Team Canada (that's sarcasm).

Hilarious that YOU are the one referencing Oil Change - stop watching stupid. So that was easy. What else can I help you with?

1. miller costs 7 mill. it'd have to be a huge piece they're taking back. and then what with dubs' 3.5? i suppose its possible. but extremely unlikely. especially after all the reasons I attempted to explain.
do you play a lot of nhl 13?

2. no it shouldn't. look at dubs numbers last year. very reasonable behind that horrific defence. as I said, it's like 4th or 5th in terms of needs.

3. you don't have a clue about the oilers and read too many posts on hb to form your opinion. you're making that abundantly clear.
and your comment "it should be" is meant to be a reasonable retort??

4. and dubs defence was stellar in front of him? in relation they DIDNT leave dubs out to dry?? good point though.

5. but we already have dubs. so we don't have to pay a bunch for him and then watch him walk. see the difference??

no it's not. dubs had a solid year and his numbers prove it. especially behind that defence. size and grit in our forward core is a much bigger issue. as is depth and quality on our backend.


just a terrible post bud

EK: I am hearing Buffalo, who is indeed one of the teams "not set"

Buffalo may not be set, but I see a small chance that a trade happens in the next month.

League-wide we've been "promised" fireworks by the msm at each trade deadline and offseason for how many years? It's just not going to happen now. Maybe a few small trades and waiver pickups. That's about it.

Dubnyk will shut some people up this year (roughly 90% of HB people)
Myers would be nice.

I agree that Edmonton needs a top 4 dman like they need a hole in the head. Thats all they have. They need a top 2. They do however need a third line. Dubnyk is cheap and if they doubted his ability they would not have but Laberbabebabraere in net behind him. I don't think Either defense is going to be top 25 this year but with that said, Edmonton has shown they are not trying to win this year again. The only thing they want is to part with Hemsky for a couple of guys that will never play in the NHL or maybe our 11th NHL ready dman.

Lol, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and I highly doubt you are in Edm as we speak like you assert. Compare quality of living, discretionary income, wage growth, services etc. with some places in the US that have hockey teams. Then shut your (frank)ing yap. Didn't Detroit just go bankrupt? They have garbage piling up on the streets....meanwhile we are piling up DIRT and BUILDING because our economy is not in the toilet like most of North America...yeah, Edmonton sure is lousy.

Yeah it's nonsense.

It's a great city to live in. I lived there or a while. Not my home but I couldn't understand what people go on about saying its crappy. It's one of the most prosperous cities in the country. Nice people, and it's got everything you need/want in a big city.

It also constantly ranks very high in 'best places to live' measurements that Macleans and other media outlets put together from time to time.


What's so crappy about it to you? Pollution? Crime? Poverty? Standard of living?
