Key part of the season. Oilers prove that they are in dire need of a top 6 two way LW since Lucic sucks and a better RHD than the 3 they have. Coming to crunch time. Oilers could very well have home ice advantage these playoffs or just miss out. Neither are surprising. If only there was something they could have done in the offseason to get them a top 20 LW with elite two way skills that costs about as much as Lucic and wants to win. I just don't think they had any option of that. Or a way to get rid of some salary on the RD so they could go after Vatenen, Dumba, Hedman, Lindholm or numerous others on the market.

Still some on here claim they did good in the offseason. I say, find a way to lock up Shattenkirk long term and get Sekeras to waive his NMC to go to Vegas(don't worry, they won't take him) or find a new GM. Yes. I am also suggesting that Puljarvi would be the trade piece in question. Unless our first and second would work.

1) Hedman isn't on the market. At. All.
2) Shattenkirk has already done the western conference a solid by saying he wants to play out east. Him signing long term with the Oil is about as likely as you remembering that Hedman isn't available.
3) Vegas would claim him in a heart beat.
4) We don't have a 2nd round pick this year as of now.

2010... Wow, you are so lucky. I was always a fan, but it wasn't until 2016 that I became a devoted follower. I've had a couple of rough years... I became an angry young man, who lost his way. I'd find myself staring in the mirror somedays, and not knowing who I was, or even what my purpose was for that matter...I questioned everything... Everything. Then we shipped that waste of skin (Hall) out for Lord Larsson... I consider June 29th, 2016 my date of birth.

I really hope you're institutionalized....Because if you are out roaming free in the world there is a big problem.

Can the Oil give him a conditioning stint in the AHL when he gets the green light to play again?

I'd be cool with playing him over Davidson but would prefer he didn't come in cold.

Id say yeh. The D isn't all world even with him but they hold up well enough. The last two games have been a parade of defensive errors by our (frank)in forwards. The cross ice offensive blueline pass by Drai last night...jesus christ...

Totally agree. Hall and Henrique each with a shorty to power the Devils to a 3-1 win.
