Shayne Gostisbehere, Connor McDavid and Artemi Panarin have been named the three finalists for the Calder Trophy, awarded to the NHL’s top rookie.

any hawt takes, garf?

the 4th for Hamonic and the 22nd

After years and years of picking in the 4th-8th overall no-man's land (MDC,G Reinhart, R Strome, Niederrreiter, Bailey) to middling results, there's no way Snow trades for privilege of having to do it again.

they do Michael Pachla, the problem is that somehow Garth is a feature blogger on this site. If he wants a parody blogger they can just use James Tanner cause at least hes legible and entertaining. This has been a farce for awhile now.

And he is from Canada.

Sometimes it's just hard for others to read between the lines. Some have problems just reading the lines.

well if garth wrote them, its no wonder...

I'm not sure how an Edmonton Buffalo draft pick trade is good for both teams? For Buffalo to move from 8 to 4 it's going to cost something decent, Pysyk, 2nd and 3rd round picks, prospects, basically some combination of those. Now why do it if you're Buffalo? To get Tkachuk, he'll be BPA at #4. Sure, the Sabres can really use him, but odds are that one of DuBois or Nylander will be there at #8, so is it worth it? I'm not sure, Nylander looks pretty good, I think I'll take my chances on one of these guys. And I think Edmonton just trading the pick straight up for an established defenseman might be their best bet.

I still wouldn't be unwilling to trade Edmonton native players to the Oil. If they like Pysyk, Ennis, or other of our assets I'm sure a deal could be swung for something that's mutually beneficial.

"Eichel flat out dominated the true rookie class of forwards in the NHL."

Who is mark pysyk?

It's the between the lines work we should be worrying about. That makes sense.


The Pegulas shocked the hockey world when they charmed NHL a-listers Steve Ott, Robyn Regehr and Christian Ehrhoff to Buffalo to play for their Sabres.


So this was a shot at management for not getting real talent? That says "a-listers"

Seriously though, when it comes to actual writing, it's that Pachla fella you guys read right? Nothing wrong with having a little sliver of homerism, but some people take it to the next level.

forget how awful the hall proposal is, why would anaheim acquire RNH? They have Getzlaf, Kesler, (Rackell), Cogliano. They're fine, Anaheim needs wingers. They will move an RFA D for top 6 winger (Hall? Eberle?). Also, how does Fowler help the logjam on Oilers left side? They have 3 NHL defencemen to play the left side and none on the right.

Yes Mike is our guy and happy we have him. Plus a vet poster with us from years back.

Garf we are counting on you for a rational take on the Calder nominations

He dominated so much that he wasn't named today as one of the three candidates for rookie of the year

What does his nationality have to do with anything?

Not a Damn thing.

GARTH'S CORNER: Offended By Oilers Defense
- garth

If you really want the Oilers #4 pick a trade will need to look like this

To Edmonton
Pysyk
Buffalo #1 8th overall
2 3rd rounders in this years draft

To Buffalo
Maybe Nurse or Reinhart
Edmonton #1 4th overall

I am not sure if Edmonton is frustrated enough with Nurse to trade him but so far it looks like it.

I know that Edmonton wants Pysyk the questions is who defense wise is young and could be a top 4 they can send back in the trade.

Just when you thought the offers for Hall were bad on our thread.

Well played

poops gonna hit the fan

Gostisbehere, McDavid and Panarin nominated for the calder. All well Deserved. Waiting for the Conspiracy theory blog of why Eichel wasnt nominated.

Oops, went from three pages worth of comments back down to two. I wonder who is doing that? Hmmm...

Can it even be explained to Garth why this trade makes absolutely no sense?
