Kessel, Seguin, Hall.
- james_tanner1

Okay. Thought you meant only Oilers players.

We could argue about Kessel since you’d never build a franchise with him as the center piece. Seguin and Hall you could.

true but you also dont put a guy like Yak on the 4th line or bottom 6 role, Embrace what he is and dont try to force him into roles that he isnt made to do.

He scores, come hug. Repeat

is it at all possible the guy just isnt that good? they realized this and moved on? They made their assessment, time will tell if they were right or wrong.

It happens believe it or not that some players are just not good enough for the nhl or not as good as one thought.

Fixed
- Tumbleweed

Rafi got a warning, you should have heeded it. I’m coming for my pound of flesh.

Eakins didn’t endorse hugging. Didn’t burn enough calories.
Nelson and Krueger on the other hand.😩

You chose the Leafs for your alt?

Ewwwww...

Hes doing pretty dang well with the Avs right now, especially with how they are using him. Sure he can falter and look like a KHL bound player, but right now when put in the right situations he is looking good and clicking

He is getting the Sam Gagner treatment, contol his 5v5 time, used as a trigger man on the PP 2nd unit.

Hes being rebuilt and right now hes looking like a steal at 850k.

It's fair to say that, I see your point, but that doesn't mean they had to give them away.
- james_tanner1

True in Eberle’s case. I’m satisfied with the Hall trade, though I’m definitely in the minority in that opinion.

Better than your Habs alt, Xizord.

I've been telling everyone the Avs are back...

But the Coyotes and Sabres should keep status quo?

How have the Sabres kept the status quo? New GM and coach this past off season.

You think I’m actually clever enough to create an alt?

Danke.

I actually do miss him. Very frustrating to watch, but no one ever questioned his enthusiasm.

Surprisingly, I don't think any players have said anything this season, they know it's on them why they're losing.

What a goofy (frank)er.

Yes. Each situation is different. On Bill Maher this weekend he was lamenting people's ability to differentiate between slightly similar events and to go with all or nothing analysis. I feel his pain.

The Coyotes GM has done a great job in my opinion and the team is a work in progress.

The Sabres are brutal, but that mostly on their Tim Murray. I don't think Botterill being fired six months into his job is going to change anything.

In fact, I think the Oilers and Canadiens could follow the leads of the Coyotes and Sabres who both recently fired their old-school GMs and went with younger, smarter, more progressive guys.

For the Oilers, there are millions of people out there who have never traded three franchise players for ten cents on the dollar. They should hire one of them.

But the Habs firing their coach after 6 months is acceptable?
