More like I just finished school (especially finals week) and summer has started, so I'm got some time to spare and allocate.

Didn't really strive to find one, but yeah, still nothing. Regardless, gonna focus my time on projects I wanna work on this summer. Got some things I wanna finish by summer's end. Anything extra is a plus from me.

They wouldn't trade their current best Dman for anything other than a similarly-capable young Dman that maybe better fits their team needs (defensively more sound). Hence why Klefbom is about the only ones that make sense.

So isn't that what the 10th pick would be used for in their case, especially in a draft deep in defenders? Of course, development and impact would come into effect though.

Either way, I see RoR leaving before Risto goes, but just for kicks....

Because they want and need to get better now. Even if they view a Dman available at #10 very highly, he more than likely won't make an impact before 2.5 years (if ever). Their situation is pretty much where Edmonton was prior to the 2015-16 season: they've been granted the opportunity to add a generational talent to a strong collection of youth and need to get a lot better and do it quickly.

There is no more appetite for the "be patient and wait" approach among the fanbase and the fact that you can't see this and relate is surprising considering we just went through it.

Equally surprising is your use of the words “just” and “went”. I feel as though nothing has changed, despite the success that was 2015-16.

We are in a worse position today than we were heading into the draft two years ago...pathetic.

So many things, man. Where to even start? The education system? The failures of news media? The demonization of western (pretty much Judeo-Christian) values? The continued indoctrination of children into the ideology of group identity? The many problems with addiction? The wholesale lack of understanding of what a healthy diet is? There's a lot...

Yeah, I recognize we're not exactly in a great place but we at least had a taste of success. There's still a lot of clamouring for immediate results and change but it's balanced pretty well with calm voices understanding patience (while simultaneously calling for Chiarelli's head).

Are we actually calm, or are we damaged to the point that we no longer struggle?🤔

Not gonna disagree if you extend the definition of a "plague" to include nuclear destruction, another Carrington event or the sudden release of the Arctic stores of methane and the aftermath of each respective situation So many ways the natural world can "regulate" population.

A selective virus that takes out half of China, half of India, all of the Arab world, and everyone else in the world in the lower 20% in iq.

I don't think we need to limit it to any countries cause that kinda settles into racially-charged eugenics territory

Every country has idiots and ideologues who are detrimental to society and those who have the capacity to do great things.

If he made that trade I'd be officially done with the Oilers... next season is make or break.

I’m pretty much already done with the Oilers.
