He's the third best player to come from that draft. Kane, JVR, Gagner.

So who goes when Bryz comes in ? Labarbara or Dubnyk ?
- Reveen

La bye bye....


Bryz cant be any worse. Hope its still just a one year deal and we get someone longterm as a ufa this summer.

Blows my mind the Bruins took Hamill ahead of Couture, McDonagh and Brandon Sutter

you act as if he's 33 years old and on the decline. he's 25. he scored 28 goals as a 23 year old, and was on pace for 27 as a 24 year old. to say he's going to regress for the rest of his career is a little crazy.

he's young, and he's going to get better, and he will score 30 a few times in a his career. every single year? maybe not. but i can't imagine him not scoring at least 20-25 barring a bad year or 2.

Fine. I think he sucks, you think he doesn't.

He still sucks though.

And you don't buy high on poopty stock just because you hope it recovers.

It's interesting to consider that ad Dubnyk and Labarbara had even put up the numbers Bryz put up in Philly (.900 to .909), Smid is likely still an Oiler and this team's record is likely closer to 7-8-2 as opposed to 4-11-2. There have been a number of games where even a .900 save percentage could've salvaged the team a win, but they just couldn't get a save when they needed it.

couture? mcdonagh? subban?

simmonds?

but there are a lot of other players that can compete like voracek, shattenkirk, pacioretty, etc.

for someone who poops on simmonds for never scoring 50 points, you do realize that gagner has never scored more than 50 points?

I can't fckin' believe Dubey poop the bed this hard...

10 years the Oil put into him, he did fine until this, his contract year... the starters job was handed to him on a freakin' platter...

HOW IN THE SH!T DID THIS GO SO WRONG!!!

40-10-6 for the playoffs boys... let's see it happen

- BigDre

I read a website today that suggested going 38-19-8 over the last 65 would give us a 62% chance of making it. That's pretty difficult, but not as bad as I would have expected.

Bryz gets first period, LaBackup the second and Dubnyk the third.. to ensure no Oiler lead is safe. Bachman if it goes to overtime/shootout somehow

The difference between Dubnyk's .878 and .905 is like 8 goals or something. Think about 8 goals you'd want back this season, and how many wins that would get you.

Saw the Calgary Sun tweeted out his locker in Philly is cleared out. Can't imagine he would net a huge return given his UFA status this summer. Maybe Islanders?

While we're at it, Hemsky for Meszaros Injury prone, overpaid, and soon-to-be UFA winger for injury prone, overpaid, and soon-to-be UFA Dman!

Less than 70 games played, 18 career goals.

Thats a lot different than buying low on a plug who's been good at being bad for a while who's 7 years older.

We could have had Pacioretty instead of Riley Nash...the Plante pick sucked for us, but that was kind of dead zone in terms of players that came right after him.
