Fair enough.....

Are you sure your name isnt Strawman?

Im saying Lander and Corpse are barely NHL'ers and you're bringing up Bergeron?

RNH is the best defensive forward on the team. He's been facing the heavy lifting since he was 19. If they could afford him to play more PK they would. Lack of depth matters. Its a myth that Edmonton has this high octane forward corps. Lennart Petrell was an often used PK'er just a few seasons ago. PK does not justify employment.

you said thats why you don't play your Stars Hall and Nuge on the PK bc then they would be playing 30mins a night. Then why do other teams have Top 6 forwards logging big PK and PP time as well?

Ok....To reiterate. I claim Kassian sees less than ten games in Bakers' before his call up and that he is a fulltime roster player come deadline? Any takers?

Depth......why else?

Do you think that if Purcells production drops off that they may try Kassian up there? The way Teddy is producing right now he can almost sucker some one based on his numbers into another over payment of a contract for next year which would price him out of the Oilers budget.

I agree.....especially if there's a thinning of the herd come the deadline. Love this trade...we haven't had a real wiener in the line up in years!

Kassian isnt going to help that depth, he will hurt it since he is a 12/13th forward depth guy who will just play 5v5 and be taking away from a forward who plays special teams

Once changes are made, Kassian will slide in.

Were comparing how a 30th place team employs their PK to playoffs teams are we not? ...yeah I'm pretty sure the answer is depth

Kassian will afford the team to play skilled guys less 5x5 and more PK.....depth

Lets just agree to revisit this at the end of the year. I'll buy you a subway if I'm wrong.

Seeing as how you feel the need to be such an adult maybe you should start using the word your properly. It's you're there big adult man.
