I know he has been very slow out of the gate compared to what we had from him last year. I'm not saying he isn't performing though. But judging from what you are saying, it's like saying Lucic is a waste because he isn't doing what he usually does this season.

Perron has a hip injury he's battled through all year.

I guess what I'm really arguing is that Dubnyk/Labarbara should be in the terrible pile too. Some victory
- Morris

Yeah Labs was terrible, kinda forgot about him. Point is that I was right behind Mac T, didn't care about the boys club chatter, thought he was a smart hockey man and then the Perron trade and I thought that was a sign of things to come.
A year later and clearly it was not.

Morning, whats up man?
- Oilers4Life14

Took the day off so I'm actually trying to be productive. I give it an hour tops before I'm sitting on my ass playing games.

Well - when you lose and in last place in the west for what the 4th or 5th time in 8 years- there is plenty of finger pointing to go round... Perron is a vet on this team
- saskoil21

Definitely agree on finger pointing. Perron is hit and miss. But Perron is not the problem with the team. We all know where the problem lies. But, yes, Perron needs to get his offensive prowness going again.

Hasn't done enough so far for sure.

I was just thinking about it like this: Matt Bartkowski is a pretty neutral acquisition by Chiarelli. If he does well, it will be called a good move even though he's simply in a good situation and plays passably. If he does badly, it'd be called a bad move even though most of the reason for his lack of success would be larger events like Chara getting injured or them trading Boychuk.

MacT hasn't made enough good big moves, and the characterization of his neutral moves has suffered accordingly.

, id wait atlas till the 41 game mark. If CGY's goalies are able to keep posting numbers like this, ill agree they are. They defensive system is allowing mainly low quality shots. But if it decreases significantly, the flames are plummeting.

The Flames are building from the back end out. Unlike the oilers who tried building from the forwards back. Calgary and all other franchises (buffalo and what not) are gonna do exactly opposite of this inept management and make the playoffs before us.

Eakin's was right. defense wins championships. Only issue, we have ZERO, and we clearly don't have a system that gets the most out of the defenders we do that.

When your Top 10 players are offensive players, don't try to win by playing defensive hockey. The key is to attack!

Ebs, 2nd/3rd and 4th this year for OEL?
If not what will it take to get him out of ARZ? Minus this years 1st rounder obviously

- JasonDh

I'm not sure edm has one player on their roster worth OEL. Hall included. But I'm guess if ebs is your bait it gonna cost either Draisetal or Nurse as well. Oel is elite. Bona fide #1 d man with huge room to grow. (frank) I'm positive the canucks couldn't even put a package together for him
