The only reason I keep checking these blogs is to see if EDM has made any changes yet.

Theres a guy saying get rid of Lowe. Maybe. However Last time we made the playoffs we went the farthest you can go. I give a pile of credit to Kevin for that. He made a winning team. Sure Pronger was a goner before he hit the showers in game 7, but he and Peca played huge rolls for that season. Its not a curse. It's a matter of the right pieces. People like to compare it to the Pittsburgh rebuild. Crosby played with Lemieux. Who's Hall got? Horcoff? Smyth? One or two more older guys. If that means Ebs goes then so be it. One last thing too. Please Edmonton don't ruin Yakapuv. This guy has the potential to retire his jersey and let it hang from the rafters.

Please let us score a goal against Florida tonite

Doubt we pick THAT high, but if we're in the top-5 (hopefully not, but this group hasn't inspired much confidence), I'd be looking at Nick Ritchie. He's a 6'3 230ish (according to OHL.com) demon-on-skates!

The only way to fix the Oilers is to hire Chris Pronger in some capacity. We need right the wrong that has sent this team down a spiral staircase of poop and disappointment.

i think so too, but it doesn't make sense from a rangers standpoint to give up our only healthy scoring winger for another scoring winger. i still think it's a package based around MDZ.

you have already have elite offensive talent, what you lack is depth and grit. a guy like miller would be great on your squad. young, hard-working, very similar to dubinsky but more offensive upside or mike richards but less offensive upside. MDZ isn't as bad defensively as people make him out to be. he's kind of the team's whipping boy when things go badly. maybe mcilrath is involved in the deal?

Oh yes he is. Go on the Rangers thread and see what this guy ^ says about him during a game

lol... really

MacKinnon vs. Yak (both on ELC)
O'Rielly / Duchene / Landeskog (16.5 million) vs Hall/Nuge/Ebs (18 million)
- Reveen

Nuge is still on ELC. So the Oilers cost less. nevermind

Guys seriously oilers need to start winning. You are getting far to close to 30th and our first round pick. We will trade you Meyers for someone decent on offense, I'm not familiar with your roster so pick someone. Hell ill throw in stafford if you want.

suck it

rangers will never give up mcdonagh. if there's a deal in the works, i think it's more of a package for yakupov than a straight up deal. i'm thinking MDZ + JT Miller + 1st + prospect like Lindberg or Fast or Kristo.

Here's the package that would help us:

Oilers receive
Brian Boyle + Taylor Pyatt

Rangers Receive
whatever they happen to cost

Or maybe we need to hire the illegitimate kid he fathered with the weathergirl

Here's the package that would help us:

- Morris

Dmitry Kulikov + Shawn Matthias and Nick Bjugstad for Jordan Eberle

Boyle would be ok. I'm indifferent about Pyatt.

I was surprised to see jt miller in the nhl this soon. Statistically it didn't look like he was dominating the ahl.

I am interested in jt miller but kreider and McDonagh would help this team a lot. If there was a way to get all three that'd be great. Something like yak + 1st + klefbom + smid for McDonagh + kreider + jt miller.

We get a big winger, a big centre and a top pairing dman. I would prob put miller in the ahl but I haven't really seen him play.

Pipe dream.

Yakupov. I don't want my Eberle jersey to be any more worthless

if you can find 1 post where i bash MDZ, then i will never post in the isles thread again.

only way you get mcdonagh + kreider is for hall +

Dmitry Kulikov + Shawn Matthias and Nick Bjugstad for Jordan Eberle
- AdamFrench

I've been preaching for Matthias. That deal really makes me think. Bjugstad has huge potential. How about barkov

Huberdeau-Barkov-Yakupov

The rebuild line!

I'm more hesitant but still consider it.

Here is my daily reaction as an Oilers fan.

The ideal scenario being

RNH
Gagner
Bjugstad
Gordon

Then if the big lug ever develops his scoring enough you can move out Gagner for a big winger or a dif defenseman and have a big (frank)er as your 2nd line c.

Yeah, let's trade Hall, the only guy that works his ass off on the physical side. That's a great idea.

Why do you keep spelling Barkov wrong?

Dmitry Kulikov + Shawn Matthias and Nick Bjugstad for Jordan Eberle
- AdamFrench

Counter-offer: just Shawn Matthias for a D prospect and a 2015 2nd.
