They won't deal rantanen.
Doubt carolina considers Faulk either . At least until hanifin shows he is what they hoped.


ITs not like I don't think nuge for barrie is bad value - but not ONLY is that another big contract on the the backend we prob can't afford now, we can't hurt our forward group any further really at this point. Quite the opposite. WE need nuge to step up and get 50+

- Ihateallofu



I love Nuge and I have always been a fan but I wonder how he fits going into the season...lets say they decide to do a McD and Drai 1-2 punch down the middle...does that leave Nuge as a 3rd line C or perhaps a shift to the wing? Now if they put McD and Drai together then of course he fits as our 2nd line C and we would need him to hit 50+ points

I'd like to see 10 to 12 current Oilers sign endorsement deals with Rexall

McDavid signs an 8 year, 16 million dollar contract with the Oilers.

Two hours later, McDavid signs an 8 year, 100 million dollar endorsement deal with Rexall

Done...now just fax over the paper work so we can make it official

We'd be back to square one if we were to trade Nuge for Barrie. It'd be like the same had we kept Eberle and not signed Russell.

I really think they should dump Pouliot. Doesnt matter for what honestly.

- FransNielson

So at present

Maroon, Jesus , cagg
Lucic, Leon , puju
Slep, nuge, strome
Poo, letestu, kassian


I know poo had an awful year- but he's still a big guy and a wonderful skater that can kinda move up and down

Not sure I feel better with khaira in that spot over him . Probably keep the depth and let him go for nothing at seasons end handing that spot to khaira or benson or whoever .
Sorta hope they can get pitlick to sign short term as well

We get solid seasons outta puju, strome, nuge we'll prob be fine

But of course that's a big if

Your infatuation with Kris Russell is getting very tiresome. Can u please just look past it and continue writing about other things (which you're pretty good at).

Good solid signing for the Oilers.

I think that's exactly why nuge is useful. He can easily slot in as a solid 2c. Or a really high end 3c

He gives us flexibility to move Leon up when's we're desperate to kickstart some offence. Which will be needed at some point

What other things is he good at writing about? He was good for like 2 months and has been garbage ever since.

Maybe Strome plays with McDavid.

I don't think we should be playing out 3C 6 million. I really really really like nuge too, don't get me wrong. 44% faceoffs just doesn't cut it.

Cap hit. If he were like 4 million he'd be great.

They'll mix and match no doubt


Strome is a solid two way guy with some skill. And a natural center . Prob not all that much unlike nuge. You get those two guys goin and you can Troy them out as your 3rd line- pretty dangerous

Not ideal to pay 3c 6 mil but after the fact it don't really matter


Unless you're advocating moving him . Which I'd be very wary of until we know what we have in strome- puju

It will be needed of course we seen it last year but in the end and again I love Nuge but I dont know how ill feel paying someone 6 mil a year to be our 3rd line C but thats just me...but then again I look at Russell contract and think (frank) it why not

I honestly do not mind Hendo's writing when he isn't spouting/venting about Russell or Hall. He does the work and puts up blogs often and seems to keep up to date with the regular "goings on" around the Oilers.

The advanced stats stuff is total garbage and 100% doesn't matter. You can play "moneyball" in baseball but not in hockey. We're not trying to get more base hits here (shots)...we're trying to fkn hit home runs (goals). You score goals in this league with skill and heart...not having a higher "batting average".

(god I hate baseball!!!)
