Eichel is going to fix them too

its nonsense

has no logic it to it for so many reasons. i enjoy the site and the banter, but ek is the garth of hockey rumors



nuge wont be traded in any realistic deal.

hes super important to the oilers.


if they get to a point where puljujarvi and draisaitl are dominant on a nightly basis, you might see nuge or ebs on the block going forward. but not now

I thought Garth was the Garth of hockey rumors.


I understand trading Hall because the Oilers need defense, but why trade RNH? You gotta give the team some time to jell.

Idk who u think they're going to get?

The Sabres get to protect 6 forwards, so...
They'll basically have a choice between Moulson and then maybe Girgensons is the other decent guy we leave unprotected (maybe Ennis?)
Or Gorges on the backend

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they take Carrier
They have to pick 30 guys...
which means they have to send down 7-8 to the AHL

So in a situation like with Buffalo...
would they prefer an aging Moulson or Gorges?
Or a 3rd/4th liner they can't send down like Girgensons? (He'd get claimed)
With those not so stellar options,
They might rather have a guy who still has some upside & is young enough they can still stash in the AHL

You're missing the whole point

So Eichel coming back means we can score 2 goals a game instead of just 1.

hes that too

but yeah, yours is just one of the many obvious reasons its a silly rumour.
why shake things up now?

plus, we're far from perfect for sure, but we arent absolutely desperate for defence at present and trading from a position of total weakness.

klefbom is turning into a true top pair guy. (id say he unequivocally is already). an maybe even more than that. hes been fantastic lately.
larsson has been a capable shut down guy and a solid partner for him.
nurse is coming around and carrying the 3rd pair. etc etc
plus, we need the offensive depth with nuge.

not happening

Him, Kulikov, Bogo and a healthy RoR and I'd give it 3-4

He will score 76 goals a year

You're lucky to get 3-4 goals between Bogo and Kulikov combined.

He'll need to for us to go from last to second to last.

Just think the D is a big part of the equation. We played much better as a team with Kulikov in the lineup. Fedun is probably pretty close to Bogo, but RoR looks like he's walking wounded right now.

He wont be the savior with this coach

Hopefully Disco isn't fibbing about changing tactics once health returns.

Bc u aren't explaining yourself


You said they aren't taking our garbage
I'm saying, they kind of are going to have to
They aren't gonna get someone good from us!

I still think they protect 4 up front and 4 d men

Ror
Kane
Okposo
And either larsson or foligno

IF they are going 8 skaters. Can just do the 7/3/1 and avoid any decision on Foligno/Larsson.

It's 6/3/1

From my understanding they HAVE to take one player from each team. If we do 7/3/1:

RoR, Okposo, Kane, Larsson, Foligno, Carrier, Girgs/D-LO???
McCabe, Risto, Bogo (thought we had to but have heard it both ways)
Lehner

Really thought was 7 forwards 3 defenders 1 tender:
