We're lucky they hired Chia, but they'll still be a decent team long-term.

Just thinking back on ppl wanting Lucic makes me ill. LE while most don’t like him is a far better choice still.

I wanted Looch... not for that $ though
But i wanted hulksmash Looch to play with JV.
Both seem to have forgot about that part of their games.

Lucic will be an anchor when or if the Oil ever get it together. Chiapet won’t be there.

LE started slow but only matters once we are truly on an upswing in a year or more.

I've never had the hate for Loui.
He has always started slow on new teams and is playing fine now.
All good in my books.

I think both will end up being overpaid bottom 6 players for multiple years of their contracts.

Only the type of move you make when you're a contending team that's willing to swallow the pill later.

It was also three years ago things change. Three years ago there was a lot more fighting at the time.

He's played well so far this year for sure, and yeah you're right about that trend with him, but he's going to lose another step before his contract here is up.

More hits then too, a lot of players forecheck with speed and stick work now.

Let's hope they don't stink enough to get another top 3 pick

Since their WHA roster days they have been a pathetic organization. A graveyard for high picks.

They gave McJesus the keys to the bus a little early, look at how Crosby was handled in Pits. He was made captain early but the locker room still had the voice of Lemieux, Gonchar, Recchi etc as leaders.

McD is good, he just is so young to lead a really young NHL squad.

He got traded because he wanted to be a leader in the locker room and they told him, No this is Connor McDavids team now.

That's what I was told.

holy sh!t.
When you put it like that...
Those are some pretty lopsided deals imo.

Vattenen > larson
Hall > henrique

Someone was working hard to swallow those deals.

Gotta love NHL parity and loser points, if the Flyers win tomorrow they could be only 3 points out of a wildcard spot..all this after losing 10 straight games

Loser points are strange.

Work Christmas parties, who has the best gig? We’re going to a Fairmont for dinner/drinks.

The Sens are a hot mess, time to take advantage!

Jewish and self employed so I'll probably hit the woodpile and A&W, just like any Friday.
