So how much ass kissing did you do to Pisani after talking so much smack about him?

So how much ass kissing did you do to Pisani after talking so much smack about him? Not that everyone else didn't say the same stuff

Woops

Hey Clouts, did you read Lowetides Blog on ON. He talked about a WOW trade. Not saying it's going to happen (nobody can), but what do you think of this deal if it actually happened?
Gagner,Hemmer,Marincin
For
R.Johanson, Tyutin,and Umberger

Another Brutal season? Depends on your definition of Brutal. I can see some improvement.Maybe a 10th place finish in the West.All depends on the quality coming in.

Where do you get your reading from? FFS he has been saying we are officially rebuilding, so yeah we're gonna suck, no we're not going to sign the next contender with UFA's & I hope he isnt successful trying to trade all 3 1st's for the #1 or #2 overall. This Feaster bashing is getting old, get some new relevant material please. Lets wait until after the draft & free agency & if he does all the things you haters believe he's gonna do, then go ahead & embrace your hate & bash away. Right now you sound like you are in elementary school.

He does make a good point. Trade picks in a deep draft year and go to free agency in a weak year? Seems kindof backwards.

I know Dallas Eakins will get the Oilers into the playoffs next season.

I hope you're right but doubt it. Even if we get in we're gonna get destroyed in the playoffs by bigger teams. Lucic and his 10 hits tonight wouldve injured Hemsky, Nuge, Ebs and J.Shultz.

feaster was offered avs cgy three first round picks for the 1st overall. avs say no. probably have to throw in jankowski??!

edm and hurricanes talking for edm to move to 5th pick.

Good blog sir. But i do feel the need to point out as good as J Schultz is he was a second round pick.

It was actually stated that Edmonton and Carolina were the only ones willing to move their picks if the price is right. Also it sounds like the Phoenix deal is falling apart yet again. They're giving one more group that's kicking tires the chance to get it done and if not the team is going to Seattle.

Did you find a job yet?

Technically Schultz wasn't a 1st overall pick.

But last year almost all the teams coveted him. His value and rep
was that of a high draft pick.

Thank you . Care to elaborate?

I believe that Ovechkin went back on the steroids... Some of you may call that an unfair accusation, but I don't give a sh1t. With every ounce of my being, I truly feel that he is taking steroids. What's the penalty if he gets caught? Suspended for a while, and maybe get canned from the NHL... Oh no!!! Please don't send me back to my home country, where I can make just as much money and sleep with Russian models every day... Oh no!!!

And that's BS, RC... Don't just limit it to hockey fans being stupid -- when it comes to sports, everyone is an idiot... Hockey analysts/writers/GMs all fail in their predictions FAR more than they succeed. Nobody really knows anything.

What did he say about Pisani?

Ugh

There's no reason the team needs to be brutal again in year 4 of a rebuild. If they concentrate on draft picks, unknown russians and giving huge minutes to rookies, then yes it's almost guaranteed. Predicting this doesnt make you some sort of seer. It's inevitable.

But that's not what's gonna happen imo.. Forever losing isn't the only way to build a team. and probably isn't great for the development of our kids either. at least in a prolonged manner like you've suggested.
And we dont only need superstar signings to become competitive either. We need solid pieces and the right role players put in the right positions to succeed. Look at bostons 4th line. dominant.

In fact, financially speaking, outside of throwing some assets at a quality top 4 dman, we probably shouldnt be going after superstar players.

It's about depth. Which we dont have. But are certainly capable of acquiring whether the free agent list this year has a ton of superstar names or not. because what it does have is some quality pieces that can fit well into our needs and could absolutely get us to the next level along with the further maturation of our core.

What did he say about Pisani?

Pretty much what everyone else said about him. He was an overpaid bum that only really ever had a good playoff run. You know. The truth.
