Don't worry guys, it'll be ok. Tambellini said it himself he is going to try and sign a "depth" defensemen! All our problems will be solved!!

Willis has good article up on Moroz.
- TaterNuts

I know what I need to know on Moroz. I said all along if we are going to draft plugs, lets draft some plugs that are unique.

I think I know why we took moroz instead of Finn, Burke probably called us up and said hey listen if we sign schultz we are gonna get in trouble so will we back off on him but you have to take a poopty prospect with your 2nd and let us pick up Finn

Somebody find a word for fail that rhymes with MacKinnon.. that's the plan. Go.

Spinnin' for MacKinnon!?

Or Tambellini has his head so far up Lowe's ass that he now has brain damage.

Ha! That's what I was thinking too. Sounds more like a sentence than a slogan, but probably the best option.

I think its a reach that Moroz becomes Lucic but I guess you never know.

Since the draft has been like our version of winning the cup, we could say winnin' for MacKinnon

Actually, I think the pick was an admission by Toronto that Schultz has made up his mind, and it isn't them.

I can't help but wonder if Burke knows he was caught tampering, and had to back off because of it. It looks more and more likely to me that Schultz will be signing with the Oilers. The lack of a big trade to acquire a D man on Friday suggests Oilers management are not willing to give up quality prospects to bring in a top pairing player. Hemsky is definitely available, and the Oilers could move draft picks and other less-impressive prospects to bring in someone.

My belief is, the Oilers are prepared to go forth with Petry, Smid, Whitney, J. Schultz, and Nick Schultz as their first five. The 6th will be dealt for...and if no one can be acquired, they could go with Sutton, Potter, Teubert or Peckham in the #6 role. I've been insisting for a while now that the Oilers won't be a playoff team in 2012/2013, mainly because management is not prepared to move out assets like Paajarvi or Hartikainen in order to make a big deal.

With teams like the Penguins being hella deep with quality D prospects, you never know...a huge deal could occur. Yandle is still available, from what I hear.

My real problem is the past couple years we drafted Lander and Musil, sure they have a couple good qualities, but they are guys you can sign for under a mil ever July 1st. We might as well take a 3rd liner that is harder to acquire.

Marc Methot, wowie! A 5-6 defenseman for $3 million a year. He will sure round out the Oiler's top pairing.. what a bargain

Seriously, though. If all we get is Methot, Tambellini needs to be fired.

I have a really bad feeling that the Oiler's destroyed some of Lander's potential last year. Let's hope not.

Nah. I think he's just the type of prospect that develops on a longer timeline.

with the Leafs picking dmen through 3 rounds the Schultz front looks better all the time.

I doubt it. Lander played the position he'll most likely end up playing. I always thought he'd be a very long shot to be a 2nd liner anyway.

I really, really hope the Oilers get him. But something tells we have no better a chance than most teams.

Thank goodness. We dont have nearly enough wingers. We've really shored up that position of need.

The TSN guys had some good stuff to say about it him. That's great. But apparently, the Oilers don't need D..
