Which is true, but it's concerning when a guy like Frideman says "this one will end soon" with regards to one of our best d-men. I want to move the guy, but what's worse is this cig rigged defense is about as good as my cawk after a bottle of rye.

Fayne and Nikitin are just more Ference's like d at this point. Neither showed much in the past either that would make me think that all of a sudden they will salvage this d.

Talking about McDavid now! Are you kidding me?

He's the one. He's the savior.

We have seniority.

NOPE!

The Oilers have been given their chance.

Even if they finish last, Bettman will see that McDavid and Eichel land with either the Sabres, Canes and possibly the Panthers. My guess is the latter two considering how stable Buffalo's fan base and ownership are.

What up Chet? Just got your pm... Just couldent stay away could ya.

I'm pretty far from throwin in the towel just yet.....but you gotta ask yourself.......Is Eakins Insane or what? If you're David Perron wouldn't you be upstairs begging to be traded....asking..."after scoring the most goals on the team last season and 3rd overall in points.....Why the hell am I on the 3rd line?"
Petry was our steadiest D-Man last season....albiet of a lousy team....yet he sits him because of lack of playing time in the preseason Going up against a team that is going to hand you your ass anyway....especially with RNH aka "the goon" and Eberle sitting this on out.
Why would you not send Hall out for the shoot out in Vancouver? Why would you send Marincin down to the minors after the surprising body of work he did last? Why would you sit Nurse in 2 games we could have won and play him in the LA game? LA has psycho's too.....Nolan, Clifford, Regehr......if you thought you were protecting the kid.
Why would any sane man leave the "C" hanging the on Ferance after last season resounding success?
You don't have to fire the man....just take him out back and explain it to him...Oh wait....I forgot ...there's nobody left that is willing to do that.

We want to win now. That's the way to do it. Trade that pick so we're forced to start winning now

(frank)- Ference should be stripped from the 'C' - he is tied with Nikitin for the pooptiest Oilers dman... I know Hunt has problems skating but at least the (frank)ing can get point shots on net... (frank) is it painful when Nurse is in his first game and be it some sheltered minutes or not- he could make passes and not sprawl all out on the ice like some sliding starfish...

I think holding out for McDavid is the same approach that has gotten Edmonton into the problem they are in. You need to trade the pick!! Leafs: Bozak, Phaneuf, Antoine Bibeau, Josh Leivo PLUS the Leafs first pick. At some point the Oilers have to start building a team based on their needs; not who the top forward is available in the draft. It hasn't and will not work.

You guys already have three, can't we just have this one

That first rounder would land you someone far better than Brouwer or Carlsson tho. As much as I love to rip on the lowly oilers and I say things like "blow it up" or "tank" the best thing to do is stay the course. Maybe trade one of your guns if the deal is right.

"Management focused on building an NHL team, rather than assembling a squad that can compete with other NHL teams." Did you really write this? Please explain, you continue to amaze me.

Can't imagine there are too many teams out there ready to give fair value for a guy like Hall or Nuge. Carlson would be a great pick up for Oilers (is he even available?)

i'll be lingering, just not too much. Not happy with results, but i have no patience for all the freaking out.
