BUZZCAST?!?!?!?!?!

Oilers hire Babcock as coach/GM when season over!

the reasons why:

DET or for that matter any other team are going to give him total control like EDM

i would bet he wants this challenge to build his own team.

wants to coach a Canadian team!

338 miles from his family home in Saskatoon

talent level there and and the picks coming this year.

knows and has good rapport and respect of almost all players in the league.could be the difference of FA's and trades coming to EDM.

this just seems to be the right situation for this coach at the right time to have total control and bring his experience to a team an organization that needs it badly.

He's made the playoffs how many years in a row? Why would he want to end that streak?

McDavid, Eichel and Hannifin are going to start tanking, and playing like complete garbage in hopes of dropping down the draft board to avoid the oilers.

Or pull a John Elway/Eli Manning and refuse to play for them.

Huh? Babs has already built his own team/dynasty. Why would he need the challenge of a new team when he's still fighting the challenge of getting his perennial playoff team to another cup?

So he'd dump a well established team/program that has struggled in the post season for the last several years for a team that has struggled to actually make it TO the postseason for the last several years?

Okay!

Brutal decision...lol.

Even worse is MacTavish taking over...lol.



He is the saviour!!!

you guys posting pics of injured players need to stop now.

its absolutely tasteless and without class.

bans come next.

On another note.

Voynovs prelim hearing is under way with gruesome details.

He is all but gone. I highly doubt he's getting away with this one, way too much detail.




Oh well gets about 4.2 off the books but losing the contract is a big loss in a good player. Win/lose situation.

I Knew it!

Don Cherry is the new coach of the Oilers.

I can't wait to hear him pronounce Draisatl's name.

oh my

Ugh. With every ridiculous trade rumour that makes no sense, and threads with nonsense titles lime this you just come off more and more clueless ek.

Are u attempting to imply they're liars...and thus that mact saying no trades are coming is false as well, so u can post more bs rumours and justify them?
Watch the interview, he was never full of it. He still doesn't believe that it's all Eakins fault. It's not. He's a gm that's desperate for some wins and was forced into doing something. Anything. They've won 1 in 16 for eff sakes.
And for those who can understand the meanings behind words; he never said he won't trade anyone either. But Since He's getting offered pennies on the dollar, he's forced to wait.

I don't know. You sure you don't want Hall in there, too? Maybe send Moulson and/or Mezsaros the other way?
- Snowblind

If I was a Penguins fan I would. I would send Malkin to Edmonton for Hall in a heartbeat. Hall and Sid on the same line. Dam. In Buffalo no I dont want him here. I want Eberle. The Funny thing is I dont know why a Hockey Trade is not made here. Eberle for Myers. A 1 for 1 trade. Edmonton has a need in the back end and Myers could help that, Sabres have a problem scoring goals Eberle could help in that department. Its a need for need and honestly I think they are both fairly valued in that type of trade. Problem is hockey trades seem to lacking in todays NHL

. But Since He's getting offered pennies on the dollar, he's forced to wait.

The penny no longer exists in Canada.

The real question is... Is Don Cherry really Col. Sanders?

smart move

- MnGump

Or maybe Colonel Sanders is Don Cherry....

Also since Edm was not getting far value in a trade package here is a bit better package for them

Stafford
Myers
Gorges
Enroth
NYI and STL 1sts

Eberle
1st
Scrivens
Nikitin
Petry

Edm gets a number 1 goalie in Enroth, They get a Top pair of defensmen. We take over an expiring contract in Petry and a bad contract in Nikitin. We also get Eberle and Edm 1st because lets be honest, McDavid Or Eichel. And lets be honest here, Neither McDavid or Eichel will help save this team. The team lacks Defense and goaltending no scoring power. Also with 2 later round firsts they can pick up some more defensemen in the draft. And Drew Stafford is just a throw in to replace Eberle on the wing.
- danwest58

Um

As crazy as my idea is I could see the NHL stepping in here and saying Edmonton forfeits their 1st because how many #1 picks they have had as well as top end #1 picks and 9 years later Edmonton is still in a pile bs. Hell the NHL is changing their draft rules because of Edmonton. So I can see the NHL not wanting McDavid or Eichel in Edmonton. Thats sad.
- danwest58

Yeah thats going to happen.
