You know who could have? GM Max (The) Boner

You would have made that trade?

You still think Yak was ruined by Eakins? I think he is uncoachable. Nelson did nothing for him. Derek Roy did most the heavy lifting.
Schultz was ruined by expectations and a poor defence that forced him up the line up. Not sure how Todd Nelson was turning things around for him.
- Larsson_fan

Todd Nelson was sheltering Schultz and playing him in a more appropriate spot in the line up. Yak and Eakins didn't see eye to eye.

Eakins made some weird coaching decisions.

Starting from draft day ? I would have drafted Bennett over Draisaitl which would have been a mistake.

We were always going to lose a trade for a d-man... everyone knew the team was desparate.

Well what trade was available that Mac T didn't have the happen to make amen would have made the Oilers better?

You sure about that? He led the defence in ice time when Klef was out with Bosnia foot fungus.

I sure as (frank) would have. Frankly I was legitly shocked that Jersey traded Larsson.

Johnny Boychuk and Nick Leddy were available and didn't go for high prices

What makes you cynical is coming in and preaching doom and gloom based on "what ifs" and completely ignoring anything positive that's happened.

I am in the middle ground...

Hall Trade - Hated the return and was pissed as hell but came around and saw the positives in it rather than still dwelling on it a year later.

Reinhart Trade - Just (frank)ing terrible.

Eberle Trade - Remains to be seen but I was soured on Eberle (if that doesn't make me a jizz chugger) and was underwhelmed with the return.

Maroon Trade - Brilliant

Kassian Trade - Brilliant

Talbot Trade - Brilliant (Giving Mac-T partial credit)

There is always some good with the bad but its sad that if anyone sees a positive with Chiarelli then Iggy and Jero to a lesser extent say "you're chugging his jizz" or "drinking the kool-aid"
- Reveen.

What doom and gloom? Wtf are you talking about ?
When ?



I retorted to a narrow minded viewpoint that it isn't wholly fair to compare macts tenure to chiarellis tenure. I made no reference to the upcoming season at any point.
Dude, You need to get some context before you fly off the handle and chirp.
Even the post you replied to was tongue In cheek by using the same dumb parameters that whatshisface used. That was the point . I don't actually think chias ineptitude is what got us puju. But if one is gonna say macts ineptitude got us Connor, then the shoe fits I guess, no?

ANd I've never said we're fuked this year. Am I concerned? For sure. But hell, I've never even implied I don't think we'll make the playoffs out loud.
I even accepted the eberle trade for cap reasons.
Other than the awful contract Russel got, I haven't really said much negative about the future of the oilers.

I mean whatever, if that's not good enough, then sure. Say what you will. But I think you've imagined this .

Now go get your fukin shine box..

Hahaha....they were moved late in the summer....Good for Snow, but we ALL know what would have happened if macT waited and still lost out. WEak.

See this is what I meant. It's all or nothing.
No, I agree with him on some things, and disagree with him on others. Which is generally how rational people Behave.

But yeah sure, label me whatever, it's only a hockey discussion board and really not important. But I won't have my opinion marginalized because it doesn't happen to emulate the masses
- HB77

but it is ok for you to marginalize others?

As you say. It is only a hockey discussion forum, why take it so serious?

You could still trade us Sekera and a pick for DDK

Who gives a poop what time of the summer they were moved... they were available and not at a high cost.

True...who's the idiot GM that held out for so long until only a handful of teams could make an offer for Boychuck anyway?

He didn't hold out, he made a last minute decision to become cap compliant. It's too bad another idiot GM who really needed a right shot d-man didn't pony up a package to beat Garf Snow.
