All roads leads back to we will be like Oilers.

We are the Oilers , mentors or not
- VANTEL

Maybe if we’re still talking about the same things in 5 years, but we’re not the Oilers quite yet.

What if you didn’t over pay, but just paid a fair price, would it be worth it then?

Like, what if we could sign Guddy to a 5 year, $5.5m contract ($1.1/year)?

For me, it’s still a no, one year at a time...

hilarious.

Well the Oilers GM is our GM's mentor....

That’s the most depressing thing i’ve seen all day

It’s amusing that the Oilers were praised last year for developing a balanced team with grit for the playoffs and now they are rediculed.

Who was praising them? I'm pretty sure everyone including their own fan base have been questioning there moves...

It's pretty obvious they won the McDavid lottery and have somehow made even worse moves than the previous regime.

Never had it but I'll keep my eye out for it.

Small size bottle comes in a wood box, pink label, limited edition so could be all gone now? I bought it in 2015. Aberfeldy is my fav right now, just such great balance and complexity of flavours and aromas. (Though, the 21 year is like $300 per bottle...)

Nah, I think he's OK as a bottom pairing dma so I'd take him at a lower cap hit for sure.



The Maroon deal was solid. Russell, Lucic, Strome, Reinhart, Larsson..not so much.

Mazarek to the flyers for a conditional 2018 4th and 2019 conditional 3 rd

I think that's good value and would love that deal.

I suggested 10 over 4 years would be a win win. Guddy gets term an 10 million. Canucks get a nice guy who can (in theory) play tough.

Funny, I just heard flyer fans say they were getting Mazar yesterday.

Don’t be fooled, it’s another leaf prospect.

I'll have to check with some of the guys at the whiskey club. There's always someone hoarding the good stuff!

Ok, but my “contract” was hyperbole. The real question was what if you didn’t over pay for intangibles? What if the contract was dollar for dollar comparable to similar players. Would a player like that be worth having?

Canada just got a gold if anyone cares

Just a general observation. I always thought they were too slow and the Eberle trade was bizarre

You must really dislike EG! Are you shorter than Codes?

For sure. I'm all for functional toughness, but I'm 100% against for overpaying big for it.

I care! Women’s half pipe is a great event as well!

Our 4 highest paid forwards have 4 more goals than rookie forward. 1/3 of cap space towards 31 goals combined. That is why you are close to the bottom not because Dorsett was paid a million more or Sbisa .

Lots of bad moves IMO.
