It would be absolutely hilarious to watch one of the laziest skaters in the league (Arnott) skate on one of the fastest teams in the league. The Oilers would be up and down the ice three times before he even crossed the blue line.

Yep.... I certainly have, but I may also continue to as well.
Don't get me wrong, I like the Oil rebuild, and they will be awesome to watch. The only thing that gets me is Gagner has been such a disappointment .... and the Oil fans hold the course. I guess I'm not used to that, Leafs fans throw players under the bus too fast.

What makes you say that Gagner has been such a disappointment? He's been okay, with flashes of brilliance. And he's improving every year in terms of the quality of his three zone play.

You always hope that a top 10 pick will be your franchise guy, so in that sense one could be disappointed. But looking at what a top 10 pick usually becomes, Gagner's not really a disappointment.

Agree but they don't have a hope in hell if Horcoff is the 3line/defensive specialist.
- Oilnutz

We'll agree to disagree here I suppose. overpaid =/= bad player, and Horcoff is a solid option at #3.

Honestly, who are you looking for to be our defensive specialist? Name 15 centres that you would consider to be better 3rd line guys than Horcoff from a defensive standpoint.

I like horcoff at that 3rd line spot. Hes a a solid player in that role. Hes just paid like nash... When his contract is up hes resigning here for a candy bar tho.

Richard Cloutier: Arnott? Is So

Free agents Peter Mueller and Carlo Coliavacco. END of story!! Both you ng and cheap! Stop gaps in their own right!!

Mueller may be better than Gagner!

2nd line Mueller Gagner Yak!

Yeah, and I think there's a decent chance he will re-sign for cheap. I think he knows that contract was a gift. Obviously in three years I don't really wanna pay more than we paid Smyth this year (2.25)

Mueller is not better then Gags. If he was then he would be signed already

Or maybe hes too good to trade away?

Mueller would be a better option than Arnott and I believe I said could turn out better than Gagner! Which he very well could, not to mention gives us more options to actually make a deal. SAme age as the rest of the guys!

I think the problem is injuries...concussion injuries if I am not mistaken.

Arnott is a 3rd liner, even on the Oilers.

Gags is worse and he's a pansy he loses battles every time and I'm tired of hearing of his potential he has trade value now after this season he won't
