Yeah. That was about a small pathetic as i thought from Chiarelli. Eberle is worth way more than STrome (even though STROMe is better than Larson). If he couldn't get a better deal then don't trade.

Russel is a brutal signing unless he was going to trade him but then he put the NMC in. Why does he feel like every contract needs one? Russel has value in the range of a third round pick. He is only good as a 7th dmen unless they are trading Sekeras finally and using Russel as the third guy. They should also ship off Larsson too.

Then they draft the only midget in the first round. Strome's brother would have been a great pick. There was a bunch of great players left and we grab a guy that isn't strong enough to wear equipment.

I hate Chiarelli

The fun part is that he doesn't give a sh!t about the heat he gets. He just keeps writing with the same rookie mistakes

So, as far as UFA is concerned, I can see the Oilers looking at another 3-4C, a top-9 RW and a bottom-4 Dman. They've got cap space to commit for a year and might pony up for the right 3C and move Nuge next year. My ideal list features Hanzal (longer term), Boyle (short term) as the C, Sharp (short term) at RW and either Campbell, Del Zotto or- gods be willing- Markov on a short term deal. Resigning Gryba or Oesterle would leave us with:

Maroon- McDavid- Draisaitl
Lucic- Nugent-Hopkins- Strome
Caggiula- Hanzal- Sharp
Slepyshev- Letestu- Kassian
Khaira,

Puljujarvi, Gambardella and maybe Foo in the AHL

Yammers and Benson in the CHL

Klefbom- Larsson
Markov- Russell
Nurse- Benning
Gryba or Oesterle

Sekera injured

Simpson, Jones, Bear and Paigin in the AHL

Talbot
Brossoit

Ellis and Starrett in the AHL

Wells in the CHL

If that UFA D is Markov on a 1-year deal pursuing a Cup, that is one hell of an attractive line-up to my eye. If it's one of the other two, it's still got some great depth.

That's likely my realistically ideal summer.

Was a big supporter of Hanzal years ago but his injury history is very concerning. Combine that with the $ he could get on the open market and I would be cautious. Though if his price tag isn't too high he would be a great fit and we have the centre depth to cover him when he is injured.

I think I would stay away from sharp. If he does play this year, I think he is one more injury away from retirement.

I really like the Markov signing for 1 year. Gives us a guy we know can handle 2nd pairing minutes and allows Benning and Nurse to continue to develop on the 3rd pairing.

The fun part is that he doesn't give a sh!t about the heat he gets. He just keeps writing with the same rookie mistakes

His retardation is out of control though.

Its not so much hate...more like pity, and the kind of frustration unprepared parents experience when the birth a child with downs syndrome.

Chia Pet failed to get Hamonic... instead he signs Russell to a long term contract for more money. Treiliving should be GM of the year!!!

Why do you still post here?
No one respects a word you say.
You're unequivocally the dumbest, least informed poster on the boards.
Just stop embarrassing yourself and go away
