Or after Jero has a meal from a fine restaurant in his home neighborhood of Forest Lawn.

Listen to you with a silver spoon up your ass and your jokes about a low income neighborhood.
I guess no matter how pathetic your life is, you're still White Privileged enough to turn your nose up at peeps who have to live and eat in neighborhoods like that,eh?

Any thoughts/insights on Eberle? Do you think he's looking for a change of scenery? Is his heart in the game anymore (generally and/or specifically in EDM)? Think Chiarelli has seen enough?

No denying Eberle's skills, might have just been an off year - but with the new management, wondering what Oilers' fans thoughts are?

If Bieksa waives his NMC, it's not "wink wink" so he won't be traded. That's plain dumb. It's so the Ducks can protect Manson. Come on. Vegas isn't going to pick him. Also, the Ducks are going the 7-3-1 route. No way they expose Silfverberg.

He's the scapegoat of the year if you read these threads.

It's an off year.....now why in the (frank) would he want a change of scenery? Seriously, as a player who hasn't won at the NHL level, you would think Edmonton game he's you a pretty good chance in the next few years.

I dunno about that...I just think it's hilarious when a jealous guy like Rutts, who grew up in Lethbridge, never been anywhere further away than Prince George, worked dead end jobs his whole life until finally starting the process of getting his poop together at 40 criticizes anyone's station in life.
I guess people try to shield their insecurities any way they can.

Maybe he wants to go because he's had enough of the Edmonton market (i.e. scapegoatting?). It's a competitive league - there's a few teams a highly-skilled player could go to in order to win.

That sucked watching Shultz score that goal last night. Gets out of Edmonton and goes on to win one and possibly two cups in less than 18 months.

I'll buy that. This town rips players apart .Grant Fuhr, Jason Arnott, Justin Schultz...I imagine its pretty hard for players to escape the criticism.

I like Ebs, he's a sick talent. If he gets moved , I wonder where they real lace the 50+ points every year. Lucic has probably flatlined with last years totals, which she s fine production, as has Nuge , and I wouldn't expect any increases, Maroon likely had his career season last year and I expect a drop in goals next year...

The only thing I hate about it is that he's shooting from the point on the PP and its something he all but refused to do as an Oiler. The Penguins basically re-taught him how to play and now he's effective again. It only bothers me that nobody figured out how to get through to him here in Edm.

That's my point...everyone knew he had the skill...
But none of our coaches could get through to him.
That is on our coaches. Not Shultz imo.

Nah, it's not about him wanting out.

It's not about "effort" either. That's such a tired reason. He tried hard, just wasn't getting any bounces and had his worst shooting % in his career.
All that said, dude still had 20 goals, 51 points and was 3rd in team scoring.
The only reason it's spoken off like it was such a huge off year is cause hes scored at a first liner clip pretty much his whole career.

He struggled in the playoffs and that may have finished his career in edm cause he gets paid 6 mil, but I don't think pc is as shortsighted as most fans.
Depending on the right trade for a defender, we could be better off moving him, but it's a gamble with what we've got to replace him.
Or maybe if we make a move elsewhere, we can trade him for a loss/cap dollars savings

But I'll bet anything it's not a foregone conclusion that's ebs is done here just yet

Like Cogliano refusing to play anything resembling defence until he got to Anaheim
