Oilers will get it together. McJesus and Draisaitl are just too good to be kept down.

But they do need help though and Chia Pet needs to pull something out of his arse.

They had to shed salary but I for one did not think losing Eberle was going to affect them that much...

- LordHumungous

Hope the fail, I hate that organization and it goes back a long way.

They have 8 million in cap space. Didn't need to shed till next year.

So you're saying this is not the best coach you've ever seen?
- A_SteamingLombardi

dont remember ever stating such a thing but okay.

Guys got too many cards to play with and a complete dead weight player in Eriksson who he has to play and brings nothing to the table.

Theirs so many players on this roster its hard to fit all the pieces in the right places.

Not to mention its a team that consists of nothing but second and third liners.


Ganger on the point is stupid. Head back to the drawing board on that one for sure.

I never once claimed Green to be our lord and saviour. Before the season begun I said entertain me and quite frankly I wont give a shyt about their record.

They've done that. I'll save my level of "record shyt giving" for a few years from now.

They're fun to watch again, thats all that matters to me.

Til we have a point shot threat or QB idk if it matters who it is runs the PP. most teams play us all 4 down low & stifle & clog up passing. Nuckers observation 👍👍

Signing LE to play with the Sedins was an epic fail but since no other C is around for LE’s game it is more apparent. Once the Sedins retire & a C prospect matriculates it might bring LE’s game to the level JB expected. Other than that hopeful possibility its not a good signing. If we had a point threat then LE would be better on the PP for net front presence.

The talent is in need of a big upgrade. Believe it or not I am quite content to let this year play out. I just hope they don't feel a debt to bring back the twins next year.

I want a top 5 pick but am happy with a top 10 . I think Bo JV and BB are doing good.

I am no a fan of Benning as a GM and I don't think paying 20 mil for 3 players with 4 goals combined is too smart.

- VANTEL

I think once the twins are gone and he can get some decent linemates, LE could be better than he has been. I think our lines should look like this:

Baer-Horvat-Boeser
Vanek-Granny-Gagner
LE-Sutter-Dorsett
Sedin-Sedin-JV
Gaunce, Burmy

That looks like the best possible line combination our forward group can do.

Sad line up, but sure better than what’s being tried by Green

Although i maintained the PP was a top priority going into this season & then go on we lack a PP QB point threat is very contradictory but is still a focus for TG & NB. I don’t see any immediate remedy any time soon but OJ is looming down the road & JB stating an offensive top RHD is his big wish it says to me thats a draft top priority.

I pose to folks here which D prospect(s) in the next draft we like in preferential order?

Looking at this roster I don't see one top line player. It is 3 years plus since Benning signed on and still has not brought in a top 3 player or a top 2 Dman

Bo and Boeser could be second line talent Sven is not .JB has really only shuffled deck chairs IMO

Bo/Boeser are producing at 1st line level though. Sur enot as good as TB 1st line, but still 1st line.

I disagree. I see Bo BB Sven as a legit top line but they lack protection without another scoring line. Usually will mean feast or famine for us til the new wave makes noise. EP Gaudette Goldy Dahlen r healthy upgrades if they can transition smoothly.

Dahlin
Boqvist
Merkley
Wilde

All RHD impress me albeit still early

Bo and BB have put together about 3 really good games to produce top line numbers early in the year . I am not sure they will maintain it.

If they got a legit player to play with them on LW they would produce more. Though Sven works for them, i think he drags them down a bit. Guddy + Sven for Kane(w/ extension) and a 2nd when Stetcher is back.

JVR is another free agent I would look at . I don't think the Leafs can afford him.

Canucks have led the possession battle 8 times so far this season (including last night). They have led in scoring chances 8 times, and they have led in high danger chances 6 times. In all cases, they won only 2 of those games. #moralvictories

He would be a good pick up as well, again with a contract in place. I would pay either around 6mil per for 5 years(or around there) as an offer with a 10 team NTC or a 5 team MNTC.

Makes no sense to trade for Kane when he will gladly sign with JB as a UFA. So you are giving Guddy away for nothing. Sven was acquired for a high 2nd as an undeveloped prospect. Now he's been developed into a legit top 6 giving him away for a second also is counterproductive. But I guess you think that is a value deal posting it often so agree to disagree.
