You were saying?

These are statements released by the club itself? Oh I get it. If you see it on the internet it's true. Wish I could use Facebook and Wikipedia to write my research papers in school.

Why Mac T is an idiot....

Signing Pouliot
Signing Fayne
Signing Nikitin
Rushing Drasatyl
Hiring Eakins

Genuis?

Getting OK value for Perron?

- RoloTahmasee


But if you consider that those moves do nothing but buy him time, then they're good. As for putting Draisaitl in the NHL, I doubt it hurts him and Eakins - whatever, if Oilers didn't hire him, someone else would have and its not like he was the reason they sucked.

Burn one wagon and jump on another, Vancouver fans are a riot.

It takes a stroke of genius to draft 3rd overall in your first year as GM, and then be on pace to finish dead last in the NHL in your second year as GM.

You would think the league would want to see the #1 & #2 in a US market. It's more about $$ than stockpiling EDM with a high first rounder year in and year out.

Ahh, yes. The NHL will ensure that the Edmonton Oilers never get another first overall pick EVER AGAIN. That'll make them better.

It should be spread around no?

The purpose of the draft is to help the worst teams improve not spread the talent around the NHL. If you want to just put the best kids wherever then you should also force the best free agents to sign where you want them to.

Why would EDM deserve the #1 or 2 ahead of BUFF, ARI, or CAR?

Frank it every few years the league should have a dispersal draft where everyone is available in the entire league. Just to balance things out for everybody.

Because we are worse? Why not just have 1 gm for the entire league and he can just make all the teams how he sees fit?

Well if they finish 30th that means they were the worst team in the league.

"Useful Klinkhammer"

Shall I go back to when the Pens got Klinkhammer.. and you SLAMMED and TRASHED him, praising his being gone?

Trying to buy views by hitting on the hot topic is fine, but don't contradict yourself so horridly. Its shameful.

Season OR lottery is not over yet, not a done deal. You have competition!! (probably not a term you are used to hearing in EDM)
