We've improved out bottom six, we kinda downgraded our top six though..
- Oilers4Life14

I dont agree at all about the top 6 downgrade.

Both the oilers and gagner are better off

I figure when you lead the team in goals you should be able to play more than 5 minutes to start the season. Are you (frank)ing serious with this retarded comment?
- SpoiledByOil


Even in the first year, Yak scored most of his goals in one month. He wasn't a consistent player whatsoever in the first year.
He needs to learn how to play the game. And to say if he had the puck more in the offensive zone, you're talking about the Oilers here. They couldn't keep possession in the offensive zone to save his life.

I agree he scored a lot of goals his first year, but learning defensive play and constancy is also another.

Maybe it was a little harsh but something needed to be done with Yak to make him a better player in the long run and motivate him.

Pretty sure Yak will come back to camp a bit more open minded and with a better understanding of what he needs to, and I'm 100% sure Eakins will take a different approach and they meet somewhere in the middle. Yak scores minimum 20 this year.

Mact didnt even want gagner playing center this season. Cause hes not great at it. And the type of guys we have to surround him with didnt help.

Purcell > gagner

At least in terms of edm

He doesn't match up well against the other C's in the west. Kind of like Derek Roy.

I dunno.

Hopefully soon.

But either way, i think he might believe we're better off with the guy we got back for gags, plus a mixture of draisaitl, arcobello and lander.

He even sorta mentioned it. Hes not too concerned about a ton of talent in that position.
But someone defensively aware and kinda versatile
