I really think we should trade someone. Possibly someone from the "core". It'd open up the eyes of the other members.

Has anyone ever thought about giving uo Hall? :/

I have, I think Hall - Giroux - Voracek would be a good combination.

Go back to class

Possible that Petry just wants out? Can't see why he wouldn't at this stage.

MacT: So Dallas, good to see ya. As you know we're looking for an associate coach who has a record of developing young talent. Interested?

Eakins: ME LIKE PUSHUPS AND RUNNING

MacT: Hmmm, you've given me a lot to think about... I think our team should be good at those things too... Head coach sound ok?

Eakins: ME LIKEY

And he couldn't wait 80 games?

Back to going full derp-tard eh?

You'd have to give up quite a bit for that Simmonds, Coburn, A first.

At least

No seriously we will trade you the Staals.

It's not derp-tard.

You have to give up value to get it. Stop ignoring thr fact this team is bad with or without Hall.

So lets give up a top 5 scorer in the nhl. Who do we replace him with on the top line? And how does it make us better in any situation?

Do you think they'd get full value for Hall? or that Hall wouldn't be the best player in that trade? Give me a semi-realistic scenario where trading Hall makes this team better, and keep in mind that every GM knows the Oil are bent over a barrel right now.

Easy Hendo, don't want to piss off the homers who think they understand hockey.

Good write up, decisions so far (and in recent seasons) have been an absolute joke, and painfully obvious to anyone with any kind of sense. This team is embarrassing

No seriously we will trade you the Staals.
- BINGO!

I know nobody wants to trade Hall....but does anyone think that he might be the big problem??

We only want Eric. You can keep Jordan "It Turns Out I Really Was Just A 3C" Staal. Eberle for E. Staal ($1 mil retained)?

I can't see how he could possibly be the biggest reason why this rebuild is failing.

That's like the Colin Fraser argument except reversed. Hall is the nega-Fraser

I don't think Hall is the problem.

They have other players they could trade for a center, how about Yaks?

I guess Hall may be the problem if people think the Oil should have drafter Seguin.

While he might not have the best attitude, he's really the only guy to take this team on his back and get the win for us the past few years. The other guys you just don't see this.

He was our 1st 1st overall, therefore all his fault.

If we could pull off a Petry + Ebs for Yandle and Vermette deal, we could have this:

Hall-Nuge-Perron
Pouliot-Vermette-Yakupov
Draisaitl-Arcobello-Purcell
Hendricks-Gordon-Joensuu

Yandle-Fayne
Marincin-Schultz
Ference-Nikitin

Better? Worse? The same?

Oils coaches always seem to be the excuse amongst the fans... They are just a bad team and if they get a new coach AGAIN, this team will be a complete trainwreck. Ive never seen the coaches being an excuse soooo much on a team in the past few years. Eakins isn't sitting out guys or not playing them because he is a "bad" coach.. its cause those players are playing like crap and need to sit. This whole team is getting too used to losing and its a shame to see all these high picks fail(even though the rest of the GM's in the NHL are extremely happy seeing all this talent go to waste on 1 team)

You clearly have no clue wtf you're talking about.

Defense, goalie, centre, all an issue.

The problem I have with it is we don't really address the defense that much. Nothing against Yandle, but if he's in I'm dealing Schultz for a more rounded guy on the backend. Yandle just doesn't make this team harder to play against. Unless we outright abandon defense and play an offense only system.
