Well, you guys are in good hands. When a team is this bad it is always good to know you have that front office locked in place for no performance related reasons at all.

The rest about Hall is quite alarming. Something tells me he asked for a trade out.

Seeing his spirit animal inside Eakins,

The rest about Hall is quite alarming.

I call such BS.

"Hall hasn't been willing to adapt"

To what? He's been resistance because the team consistently blows and he doesn't want to?

They want Hall to be something he isn't.

I like how when teams are bad, the go to is "(Prominent player) doesn't provide the right type of (culture/compete)"

But when the team is good that same player "Set the tone of (culture/compete)"

Hell, you can change good/bad team to winning/losing streak

They want Hall to be something he isn't.

This.

He already did.

He wants a new challenge

Which is why we'll show him a tape of the Blues playoff performances for the last half century. Scotty Bowman, Al Arbour, Joel Quenville, Mike Keenan, Ken Hitchcock... 5 of the top 7 coaches in all-time regular season wins, 17 Cups as Head Coach between them, and none could win one while they were in St. Louis. Talk about a challenge...

This.

And he gets a new coach like every 6 weeks or whatever.

Agree 100%. That's the biggest issue. And Goaltending.

I thought that it was scoring. You need forwards who are willing to stand in front of the opposing net and get some garbage goals.

Dreger hasn't had a clue about the oilers in years. I don't put a second of thought into anything out of his mouth.

I don't think he knows jack all about what is going on inside of the dressing room, but I think he's well enough connected at the top.

I feel bad for all you Oiler fans. You shouldn't have to deal with the level of ineptitude that has gone on in EDM the past 10 years or whatnot. They need to blow up this core post haste. I feel bad seeing Taylor Hall waste prime years of his career dealing with this dumpster fire. I mention Taylor only because I'm a huge Spitfire fan from Ontario. Don't GIVE anyone away. But no one can really be considered untouchable here. I hope your boy Nurse turns out to be a stud. You at least deserve that.

We need a dman that can actually shoot and hit the net. And can run a pp. And shut down the other team and make a first pass out of our zone. All that equates to more offense. We are last or second last I believe in the league in scoring from our d.

Ya.

Odd amount of certainty from Dreger than neither Klefbom nor Marincin will ever be top pairing guys.

There were 11 dmen taken in the top 25 picks, and only 3 have played more than 60 games at the NHL level. One of those guys is the universally maligned Adam Larsson. Is he saying Brodin and Hamilton are the only two who have a shot of coming out of that draft as top pairing guys?

Well the guys at the top don't even know what's going on in their dressing room...

Yet he's the one that broke the Eakins hiring and firing.

I dont get the hate for dreger by oilers fans? He's one of the top 4 or 5 most credible and reliable sources along with renaud, bob, brooks.

Do you guys hate him for the same reason you hate pronman (he insulted the oilers somehow)?

He's full of poop. Arrogant know nothing pos.

At least guys like Bob, Friedman, Lebrun say when they are speculating. Dreger makes poop up and tries to pass it as fact.
