3-3 Win one of the Cali games. Destroy the Oilers because they are terrible on the road and a small team. Win one of the Minnesota/Calgary games.

Edmonton worst record on the road I believe. Coming from far west to east is never easy either. First game with teams new rosters after deadline, Eichel extra motivated. 4-1 final. Eichel goal two assists. McDavid -2 one assist.

IMO Nuge, Eberle or Yak are gone.

I would actually try and take a flier on Yakupov.

Offer Bogo + and get Yakupov and either Griffin Reinhart or Brandon Davidson coming back the other way

Just threw up.

5 points in his last 27.

Interesting.

Matt Tennyson (young, speedy, hard shot, left hanged, makes the occasional questionably defensive play, been our 6/7 all year)

for

Johnson and one of your many 3rd rounders

- SJFreez19


I bet a prospect more along the lines of Cutzke would be thrown in before your 6th/7th Dman.

One could hope it was Jeremy Roy or Brodzkinski but I doubt it.

Has to be one of the worst 1st overall picks (so far) in the last what... decade or two?


He probably could have really used that time in the A or O.

The same team that absolutely destroyed us last time with no Connor McDavid? .. you're not getting how important RoR is you're going to see firsthand

We have many players going through are have gone through similar struggles.

It's a flier, not a commitment.

I'm not a huge fan of his, but there is 0 room for him in the top 6 in EDM unless Eberle is moved

Since Stefan in 99.


Might make a run at besting Daigle or Lawton for worst ever IMO.

I thought I heard that they are actively shopping Hall and Nuge though???

Hall got demoted to 3rd line the other night for not scoring in like his 13th game I think. I'd personally take Hall before anyone on that team not named McDavid.

- JVince11



From what they were saying on HNIC (or it might have been sports net), it's unlikely that the Oilers make any big moves until after the season, & possibly the draft...
Bc where they pick could heavily influence who they feel they can part with

A lot of people are going to understand how important our captain was and what little things he did during the game his voice is not going to be heard and this team is going to be horsepoop just like last year because Gionta doesn't know anything

Believe it or not but Bogo has negative value on this team.

He's not a competent partner for Risto, and is 3x as expensive as Pysyk or McCabe is.

If he were undoubtedly better than those 2 I'd say we need to keep him.

With Robin Lehner taking the number one spot and Ulmark looking good, what would it take to get UFA to be Chad Johnson from you? 7th rounder? Considering you're not making the playoffs (no offense) he's of no real value to you
- SJFreez19


We weren't going to make the playoffs last year either but we still managed to get good returns for both Enroth and Neuvirth.

I'd say you can have him for a 5th. I think a 7th is too low, considering that he actually held his own when Lehner was out.

According to his brother Cal he expects RoR to be back sooner than the original time frame and that Ryan is really mad about the injury. Taking into account that he's a workout freak and this is his first big injury I'd bet he's back by at least the original time frame.

Their 1st this year has move value in a trade to bring in defensive help then making the pick will.

I expect them to make the wrong choice again.

This has to be 100% true... Has to be. It can't be your blind hatred for the guy talking at all. Can't be.

This 25 year old Bogosian has NEGATIVE value on the team. Negative guys... You hear that.... NEGATIVE. Colia, Ruhwedel, and that ham sandwich the rats found in the press box are more important.

c'mon man... I get it.

Which is why if you can acquire him for a bad contract (Bogo) I would consider it.

I wouldn't trade for him, thinking he's a staple on the top 6 for the next 5 years, but Murray has shown he will take a chance on high draft picks

Not to mention that they aren't exactly going to rush him back either.



Ennis, Foligno, McGinn, one of Carrier/Baptiste (to sweeten a deal to bring back a better prospect or pick), Weber, and Franson will be dealt.

I doubt we can even get a 6th for Coliacovo. He has only played 20 games this year.

We also have a horrible home record and it's our 1st game back from a west coast road trip. It has stinker written all over it.

Yak is the only one who "might" move before the deadline
Eberle is basically untouchable right now, and they're waiting to decide what to do with RNH
Although, the RNH for PK rumors are interesting & make a lot of sense for the Oilers

He's Russian.

AKA Murray ain't interested.
