You say that but look at the blue jackets since he joined them...he is solid on d and a leader. a real steadying force on that team

If he was in edmonton instead of Yak, this would be a much better squad

You mean Murray, the DMAN who gets badly outshot when playing weaker comp and not with wiz?

Yakupov has been our second best forward and most improved player this year by a mile. I'd go as far as to say that he's our number 1 RW.

SHUT. UP.

HOW WOULD 40 GAME MURRAY HELP. YAK HAS PLAYED WELL. (frank) IM SICK OF THIS
- ystoil

look at how Boychuck has helped the Isles, a stead leader on defense makes a world of difference, even Capuano said before Boychuck the isles would have lost a game like last nights ranger game... the calming influence settles the defense

yakupov and Schultz
staal


1st rounder, nikitin,

myers

Comparing Boychuck with Murray

the oilers need to trade eberle or Yak, maybe both. collecting shiny toys instead of hard nosed hockey players doesnt work

they need a wake up call, yak instead of Ryan Murray is a killer,I said it then and its still true
- joeyp

Murray was and still is a complete band-aid.

ugh, another 1st rounder to buffalo.....another failed lotto team

im guessing that s what they want in exchange for myers. lock down their shot at mcdavid

and wasn't last year their first lottery pick?

Eberle + Lander
E Staal


1st rounder, Schultz

Bogosian (or Myers if I must)

Prefer something like that.

Thats what Nikitin/Fayne/Ferrence are in the line up for. They're not playing well? Different story. You can't guarantee Boychuck would come in and play well in this line up.


NYI is pretty solid defensively, even last year. something they were underrated for. Plus their offence is lighting it up right now and absolutely dominating.

Eakins blamed it all on bad luck/losing battles. Said we were positionally good. Please fire him.

Does he actually watch the games? Or are the guys in the right positions for his system and his system is just (frank)ed?

underpayment for staal. what do they want with lander? essentially that's straight up for eberle.

overpay for bogosian.
rather myers anyway

what system?

God forbid I bring logic into this but when you allow 7 goals.....7 GOALS AGAINST YOU....that is not being positionally good...in fact ill dare say its the exact opposite....so if that is GOOD then im worried about what bad is

Lets not bring in myers and ruin another developing defence man's career.

Kekolainen the blue jacket Gm has said that the team turn around started with Murray its not like Wiz or jack johnson were all that before with other teams

Id take their gms opinion over MacT anyday

how bad has schultz been since he's signed?

This team sent down Marancin, is likely trading Petry, how can you trust their judgement on a defender

the whole leadership thing I really don't know about.
but johnny boychuk is a better hockey player than those guys.
no guarantees he'd be dominant like he is in nyi by any means. but he'd step in and be our number 1 for sure

what you talking about?Buffalo already started that,if he comes to the Oil He will just get better
