And is why they need the help, just bring Hall back.....or Toffoli,Pageau and something else.
- AlEx_OiL

Toffoli would be the one I would go after

I’m thinking to a degree it probably has.....both had moments this game where I was thinking wtf and I’m aware McDavid got his points....in other news for what it’s worth we are 3 points better at this stage then we were during our last playoff year

Saw that too. Doesn’t feel that way.

Really?

You gonna have space for him cap wise?
- Wildschwein

Yeah, probably. Have $18 million coming off the books next summer and not many guys to sign.

I think they will need more then Toffoli....

- Wildschwein

No it doesn’t.....in a perfect world the Oilers just get pissed off after tonight and play like it the next game.....but given recent events I fear more of the same is on the horizon

Toffoli, Pageau, Tierney, Namestnikov, Duclair, Ennis, Athanasiou, Palmieri, Bratt, Wood...

I think they will need more then Toffoli....

I know who we don’t need.....

- BINGO!

Well (frank) me...

Carolina will become the next Pittsburgh.

Easy.....we sign/trade for 2 talented wingers then we can force the others into their proper spots so that won’t be bad.....blueline won’t be bad once the others are ready.....could certainly use a new goalie and I’m not 100% sold on Koskenin yet.....see? It’s all very simple solutions

Only concern is getting Dougie locked up. He's gonna be expensive.

Please trade Russell. He is a (frank)ing team killer.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I miss Benning.
- Oilers4Life14

He and his 55% goal share is the "team killer" while Klef and his 37% goal share (-20 @ 33 games in) and Larsson and his 18% goal share are?

Don't get me wrong; I'm not heaping all the blame on our best players, but Klefbom absolutely NEEDS to better. Larsson shouldn't be played with him.

Yes, you should miss having a bottom pairing that can win its minutes. Benning has done this every. Single. Season. Of his. Career.

Only concern is getting Dougie locked up. He's gonna be expensive.
- BINGO!

Josi kinda money?

Dougie is only what? 26? Lots of years left in him at any rate.

- BINGO!

Svech needs a new contract after next year, though. Given where 2nd contracts have gone lately, that won't be a low cost affair, either.

With the right guy to play with Benning is a good 3rd pairing option

I don’t mind him. Seems to be pretty good at getting shots on net.

Terrible haircut though. Terrible.

Don’t see how this can be argued at this point or the importance of resigning him
