This is pretty huge for the Oilers though... perfect guy to add right now at no real cost.

Took Nail in the draft, and ended up with Schultz who can step in right away.

The future looks bright.

To listen to some die hard T.O haters and There gay coastal rival it was,and still will be. however ther's still tomorrow.

Are the Oilers a playoff team next year?

I realize this is NOT going to happen, but what if Suter looks at the Oilers and realizes that if he came here this team would be just deadly, that would be hilarious if he came here.
- ALEDDO

Not for 7-8 million. Such a weak crop this year...the Wideman price point makes me think Suter will take the full amount of how the market was set - and what it will bare.

Not sure he is worth the inflation.

Yes I'm gonna say it anyhow...Canucks still win division but oilers make it in 7th or 8th

Thats the idea.... I think anything less will be a fail... Pressure is on Tambs and co.

You dam skippy, still some work to be done... DOAN?

Not at this point imo.
I think with this roster we can be battling for a spot till the end though.


Another 'proven' defenceman, some more size, and the kids continue to develop..
And maybe

I don't like luongo but he's better than schneider, so who knows.

Goaltending is still a question mark.

What do you think about Schultz, Pajaarvi + 1st for Luongo?

- robin_steele264

Ya for sure - though I'm always reminded that Pitt picked in the top five for like five years.

It seems a lot still has to go right this coming year to make the playoffs.

What type of vets will Tambi bring in/ trade for?

Not at this point imo.

I wouldn't bring back Eager and Hordichuk.

No.

what? we ain't no where nears done.... are you not an oiler fan? we always make moves.

Goaltending is still a question mark.

What do you think about Schultz, Pajaarvi + 1st for Luongo?
- Scooby_Doo

Don't want that contract. Dubnyk had a superb second half last season. Given the opportunity to be the team's starter I think he will do well this year.

As of now, no.

Goaltending is still a question mark.

- Scooby_Doo

how about belanger, khabby and a 2nd.

You dam skippy, still some work to be done... DOAN?
- DrinkOil

I would be happy with signing one of the following Carle, Doan, Jagr, or Tootoo. But from the sounds of Tambi's interview this afternoon it looks like he is looking to make splash by going the trade route.

- DrinkOil

Throw in Horcs.

- Scooby_Doo

Take out those 3 assets and add in horcoff and a 2nd instead... And maybe.




On 2nd thought, nah. Rather give dubs his shot at number 1 with his price tag

- SteveTambellini

Really? Has everyone forgotten that stretch after Khabby started pooping himself where Dubnyk was letting in a softy a game.
The latter second half certainly got better and I can only hope that was his true development.

It's his year. They have to give him games and he has to run with it.

- Oil Tycoon

That's the way to go. To many bodies around

I wouldn't bring back Eager and Hordichuk.
- Scooby_Doo

we are still the softest team in the league, or near Eager was sougt after and signed a 3 yr deal he will remain, hes fast and rigid, and the toughest forward under contract, a bad yr but no problem

- robin_steele264

No Kidding. If Schultz steps in as expected (or even exceeds, like Gardiner did last year) then it's essentially as though you've been given two top 5 selections.

I wouldn't bring back Eager and Hordichuk.
- Scooby_Doo

Hordis pretty useless, but happy to keep eager
