McLeod for Jost. E4.

Linden said the Canucks want to bring in a winger to help with scoring. "I think we have a need on the wings"...

Good Thing Benning picked A dman over a Winger and traded a previous high draft pick winger for a Dman
Good to be on the same page Canucks

McLeod for Jost. E4.
- Mr.Bobby

You guys battle it out for Jost. I'll keep Ms. Jost company.

A bunch of quality picks. A couple less-than-ideal ones. No trades. All in all, your average draft day.

Every year a bunch of hype about huge deals going down....then nothing....

Hey you guys want Franson?

We're willing to trade him for a 2085 7th round pick

Now go get a dman

Your asking for too much

Feels like Tyler benson could be that type of piece that we're lucky fell in our Laps cause of so many gms unwillingness to take risks


Also,

Hall, Leon, pulujarvi

I got banned for using some rationale and logic in the Hawks thread arguing with JJ about the bs rumour game

He didn't appreciate my contentions that malkin was not going to be traded apparently

Not impressed by PC at all. If we get saddled with some mediocre UFA defenders for 5+ years I'm gonna cheer for someone else.

Once teams miss out of UFA's it should open up more options for PC. Having said that I'm not all that confident he gets what we need

As an outsider looking in I agree. Oilers are so talented up front its almost ridiculous, but nothing will change if you can't get more than one guy to stop the opposing team.

Just watched that day 2 interview

"Productive talks and we'll see how things go"

Plus a reference to some gms softening abit from an earlier rigid stance


Doesn't sound super positive to me

I'm Now starting to even hope on dumba whereas I wasn't interested much at all not long ago when there were a decent amount of options

These gms don't wanna make a move unless we bend over


I'll agree that it's at a pretty desperate state as of now, but you can't just throw away assets for the sake of a deal

Exactly that though. Hype created by people creating baseless rumors, and then people run with it viola, bloggers and sites like this are born.

Yup, no GM wants to give the Oilers that top dman to get them over the hump. I know I wouldn't want to be the guy that gives Edmonton it's final piece

I think you mean VOILA. A viola is a violin type instrument. Solid post otherwise though!

I thinks that's exactly what is happening. Everyone else can smell the desperation, and until PC realizes he's going to have to overpay, not much is likely to happen.

Oh Bullpoop. We we've already seen some 2nd pair guys moved. PC just over values his assets.

He's got balls the size of sesame seeds.

I'm surprised I'm not banned yet. Been going back and forth with Dozzer over the leafs picking up his cousin Rychel.

Exactly what I meant. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
