end of the day, even if we finish dead last, 80% chance we wont get him.

we'll prob end up picking 4th and not even get hanifin

If you finish last the worst pick you can get is number 2

first of all, i never said they drafted poorly on purpose. i said that this year specifically they stripped down to tank. as for the list you just provided, there is not a single front-line NHLer in the group.

Also untrue. We've been selling off our vets since the 2011-2012 season. It's a long process to get rid of mediocre talent to try and bring new, hopefully better talent. Sorry, are we doing something wrong in rebuilding? We're hardly tanking on purpose for the sake of tanking. I see no proof in us purposely tanking.

So Buffalo, the team that is intentionally rebuilding is worse then EDM? Seems to me one team is transparently sucking while the other brought in all these new guys and yet ends up worse then the other

Ted Nolan is your coach, so there's that.

i'm saying that a poopty franchise is a poopty franchise and arguing that one deserves McDavid over the other is stupid.

One tiiiime, win a game for me Edmonton

Your record is preposterous.

Your argument has all to do with the poster and nothing to do with the team itself. Every franchise at some point in time was "poopty" until someone else stepped in a righted the ship. And now we've got that. Stop losing to us.

I see nothing wrong with this

That's where my mind went too.

I honestly thought "Wait, is Katz even Jewish?"
- BINGO!

1 win in 16 games and the team has done nothing- management coach or otherwise... I think its great that fans have now stopped going to games... Laraque's interview with Gene was telling and I think its good for someone to say it how it is... I dont know when or if but I sure as heck hope Katz cleans house... Quick question management, coaching and players- are they the same to start the 2015-16 season or???

Not if the league's board of governors has anything to say about it...

Yeah us Oilerfans think very highly of this team right now. Especially our C depth....

(frank) I hope this. It's ridiculous. It's like these guys don't give 2 poops at all and they are happy to just get a paycheck. And the owner is content with hanging out with his old boys club. The league or someone needs to step in and stop this ridiculousness.

Honestly I wonder if we just try be bad enough to guarantee us a top pick and then clean house.

The other issue is if a management change was to happen, do we do it now or just wait until the summer when there are better candidates?

Coaching change can happen at least with an interim coach of Ramsay or someone like Byslma/Murray.

Not if the seats continue to empty. Edmonton fans have been as loyal as any fan base could reasonably be expected to but they have a limit. I suspect season ticket sales will fall as well. Katz will pay attention to the bottom line, even if it means he has to fire Lowe and MacT and throw out his 88 Stanley Cup winners lunch box.
