All I was saying is if he was coaching a more proven veteran team I don't think people would be talking about how bad of a coach he is. His mistakes were amplified because of the mistakes our players consistently make.

I don't know really lol been busy with life stuff I guess.

Although I will add this kids+xmas=insanity

A realistic trade possibility for you Oilers fans for Hall, from Buffalo

Does Myers, Compher, Grigorenko, Makarov (goalie prospect), & either the St. Louis or NY Islanders 1st this year get it done?

Is it in the ballpark?

Whoa- his coaching strategies were far from perfect- but he had a team willing to work or at least had players willing to get dirty and work which gave him results that went against the grain (2006 SCF)- but how long ago was that??? When was he last coaching and what was his record- further most large organizations rarely bring back old recycled goods... cept for the oilers...

Do you remember who the core of MacT's last team was? What's next? Based on his last year in Buffalo, Lindy Ruff is a garbage coach? You're just grasping for half truths in an effort to reinforce your argument that none of the old boys club can fix this and are the sole reason this team sucks.

I'm not jumping on the Hall hate because I can't blame the guy for being angry at this situation but how many of you would entertain a trade that revolved around Hall and Oliver Ekman Larsson, considering Maloney is also looking to make a big splash.

Are you kidding? I would do that in a second.

Maloney wouldn't though. He wants to make a splash. He's not stupid.

Honestly, not for me. Not that it isn't a good offer, it just doesn't really do much tom address the teams most glaring weaknesses. Myers is the only thing that makes it even worth considering.

Time to up your bids, clowns.

This is the longest "rebuild phase" in history. They've screwed up so many times they're almost beyond saving... This is what their problem is, of coarse people will disagree but its the truth. THEIR DRAFTING SUCKS.
Drafting Yakupov instead of Galchenyuk, Forsberg, M. Rielly, Dumba, Trouba or Pearson... All who have amounted to more.
Drafting RNH instead of Landeskog, Huberdeau, Scheifele, Couturier or D. Hamilton... RNH is way to small and weak.
Hell even Hall over Seguin, Gudbranson, Johansen, Skinner, Schwartz and Tarasenko... Yes Hall puts up points but he's got an attitude and seeing as how the others are doing, I'd of at least picked Seguin, Johansen or Tarasenko over him...
Paajarvi over Zack Kassian in 2009? Practically the same size but Kassian is way tougher and has a lot more grit.
2007 they had 3 1st round picks... Gagner, Plante and Riley Nash. When they could've had Voracek, Couture, McDonagh, Shattenkirk or Pacioretty lol.
Yes their whole team needs to be reworked but the people in charge of scouting and drafting should be first to go. Then the coach and get someone in who will trade for size and toughness. They really should've tried harder for a Lucic or E.Kane to go with Hall.


Found it on a youtube clip of when Fasth was going nuts. I love the internet, it's allowed the world to realize just how dumb we are as a species.
