And it's not the dumbest post I've read from him either

Quality attempt at it though

You still have the same core group absent McDavid, and it has yielded you what exactly what aside from a continued losing attitude?

Every offseason we hear Edmonton is going to do something to help its roster, but yet, crickets. Still early, but I will believe it when I see it.

It's not a dumb post to those outside of Edmonton. Nothing I posted was inaccurate.

It's the way you say it, or are you socially inept?

Besides, every team intends on improving but few actually do. Because it's difficult. Is there a good trade to be had for Edmonton? Please, let us know what's out there so we can contact Chiarelli.

It's a dumb post regardless of geographical location. Although outsiders regurgitating the same tired no nothing narratives are in fact common place. I'll give you that much

Ebs is a true top line right winger by the numbers. He had a season of 76 at 21 years old. And averaged 65pts/82gp over half a decade which is good for like 5th in rw scoring over that time. And he's just getting into his prime.
Overrated like how ?
I suppose there's something to be said about nuges less than huge numbers though. Especially from someone who doesn't see him lots. Butt At 23 his ceiling is still very high.

Two of them dont necessarily have to go. Just the right one(s) in the right deal.


At this point, if one hasn't been able to piece together that gms are clearly trying to take advantage and ask huge prices in a deal with what they see as a desperate oilers team, those same people probably also struggle to formulate basic logic.
If it was just on the table- it'd be done ages ago.
Or Are you under the impression that you alone know the oilers need defence ?

You're confusing 'helping their team' with making a trade for the sake of it and getting raped

A deal will come...


The insinuation that what we really need is more young question mark defenders that might help in a few years instead of taking puljujarvi was sort of the cherry on top of your ill Informed post

Edmonton is going to be fine. It's just taking them longer to turn things around than most other teams. They will be a threat to compete, imo. It's a matter of when, not if. I applaud their patience and not rushing to make a move which is when teams make their worst decisions. I also think it wise for them to keep Hall. Trade Eberle RNH and yak. Or just 2of the 3. That should net them a good return and still leave them with an embarrassment of riches when it comes to high level young talent.

We're all hopeful that happens....and to Hell with fair returns or winning trades. If a D man costs us more than the next team, so be it.

For the right dman sure but not one just for the sake of getting one. Very few of those type available out there. Definitely need to over pay.

And at this point that's not an issue for me. There's still Oilers fans that are in love with the group of forwards that have brought us nothing, but I'm not one of them. The Oilers are at the point where they need to make offers other teams can't refuse.

I agree but not for the Bogosians of the league. It's a shame you guys couldn't have gotten Jones from Nashville for RNH amd maybe plus.

Yup. And that's the thing. If Nashville coveted Johanson over Nuge, no amount of sweetening the deal is gonna make them prefer Nuge.
