We may need to trade Hall :/

If you are going to post topics like this I want to see reasoning behind it.

It's starting to happen but management is in tough. MacT needs to add a 2nd line center, two top pairing defenders and a starting goalie without moving out any roster pieces.

Has it gotten to the point where you just copy and paste this now? It seems like 10 times a day this has been repeated in these threads.

Why do you say we, you got crabs or something? I thought you were a Sharks, Ducks or Flames fan nowadays?

I repeat it very often for the people who accuse me of drinking the kool-aid because I don't see a quick fix for this team like they do.

We won't get that 1D, or a goalie that wins us games every game unless we trade him.

I know it sounds terrifying, but if we continue to play like this, we may need to. (Of course management wouldn't tho)

I like Oklahoma now..

Where Marincin is, that's who I cheer for.

A little better but I still expect more from you.

No offence, but that kinda sounds like how an expansion teams' management would outline their goals when they are about to play in the NHL for their first season.

JB and reasoning? That's like asking Jero to post something positive or optimistic

You trying to tell me that shipping out the core for picks, prospects and vets on the decline in their careers wont fix this team in one season....pshh.
I get sick and tired of hearing that poop all the time too. I'd just rather not respond to those kind of posters.....most of the time.

An expansion team that has yet to play in the NHL already has roster pieces they talk about not moving out???

Yeah, put in your time in the minors until you can become a real Oilers fan.

None taken. I didn't run this team into the ground.

MacT was given a poop roster and he is expected to turn it around over night. Tambellini traded so many NHL players for picks and none of our prospects turned into anything so we essentially had nothing to trade for roster players.

BTW an expansion team would wipe their ass with us.

I'd rather tell them where to go but I get banned for nothing nowadays so I'll try to behave and educate.

You do realize that we are one shot away from tying this game up and trying to score on arguably the best goalie in the league, right? Hall has that shot.

Nope. This is the game that is the pivotal point that means Hall needs to be traded vs. anyone else on this team.

Everyone thinks we need D and better G but we cant score. Most games have been losses by 1 or 2 goals. There never is anyone in front of the net for a tip or rebound or screen.

We're on pace for 50 points for (frank)s sake

Well I guess Hall better start packing his bags then. RNH, Yak, Ebs, Perron, Schultz and anyone else that has been rumored to be on the move just dodged a bullet there.

Yup we need some more heart and soul kind of guys. I mean we were supposed to have worked on our net front presence and this is what we get?



and this?

Ah bullpoop. He probably can't make the moves to get all those pieces but he can do enough. I've said it a million times . All we or anyone else needs ( of any real significance) is :
2 Scoring Centers
2 scoring Wingers
1 checking Center
1 Checking Winger of quality
1 Stud 1st pair D-man
2 quality top 4 D-men
1 offensive D man
1 quality starting goalie
Pretty much the rest of the roster can be filled with depth players, AHL'ers and flawed NHL players ( old, rookies, defensive liabilities, 1 demensional, etc).

I'm gonna throw names in just to better articulate my point.

Hall Nuge purcell
perron Hanzal Draisaitl
Hendricks Gordon Pitlick
Gazdic Yakimov Pinnizotto
OEL Marincin
Klefbom fayne
Aulie Ference
Anderson*

In all Honesty, How hard can it be to turn Eberle, Yak, Schultz, Petry, Lander and maybe Moroz or Khaira and a couple 2nds into those types of guys?

I don't get it. I watch other teams play and there is always tip in, rebounds, dirty goals. We cant get a goal. Are top players aren't playing like they should.

They played scared to make a mistake tonight.

My god did Taylor Hall suck tonight
