Career statistics
Hall-0.85Points per game in 3Years
RNH-0.75 points per game injured for more than half of his career with the same injury
Yakupov-0.65 in first year
Tavares-0.85 in 4 years
the obvious Hall>Tavares RNH>Tavares Yakupov>Tavares
Through every year oilers 1st overalls have played all 3 have had a higher ppg through the years they have played

Tavares 202 pts after 3 years, Hall - 145
Tavares 121 pts after 2 years, RNH - 76
Tavares 54 pts after 1 year, Yak - 31

I'm sure you wanna talk about PPG pace, but they gotta play the games for their points to count. And your guys have had real trouble staying on the ice.

This is the worst argument I may have ever seen.

Did you black out when you come up with this logic?

Yak hasn't missed a game yet and was on pace for 53 points after year 1... Tavares is clearly well ahead of him...

JT >> any Oiler player. End of a true, but brief, story.
- systemtool

Maybe. But he and Hall are very, very close.

I don't know what this stat represents. Are you saying Crosby has those points totals? Using extremes is a sign of desperation.
- djamon

WOW! You seriously don't understand that post?



And you're the one bringing up people's addition???

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Ryan, your're not much of a genius if you think RNH is worth 6 million/year.

We'll see how is health holds up since he gets banged around like a rag doll.

I hope he actually fails & makes the Oilers look as stupid as they really are - & the people of Deadmonton for allowing an owner like Katz to rape everyone including the city in a deal which makes zero sense for Edmonton.

Keep spending that money, we'll see if they keep all their young guns!!

Pascal Dupuis led the league in plus/minus last season. Best player in the NHL.
- woopstash

Difference being for example... Tavares being a minus on a plus team, while Hall being a plus player on a minus team.

Ben Eager points after 2005 - 84
RNH points after 2005 - 76

Eager >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RNH

Not targeted at anyone, but I saw this on the Edmonton sun site and thought it probably was thought a few times in this thread

The same guys who ragged on the oilers for never being able to afford the young guns are now in here crapping on the long term contract


Can't win

So I guess this means Yakupov is gone.

- Aerchon

So if Yak had kept scoring at his pace last year (with a torrid finish) he still would have been worse than JT?

I never said Tavares was "well ahead" of anyone. I was just responding to another deluded poster who really wanted to hear how anyone could say he was better than any of those players after each year. I think I showed it pretty clearly.

They come to the Internet to feel superior, they can't feel that way if they stay consistent.

So I guess this means Yakupov is gone.

How so? We have more than enough cap space for him.
