We are going to compete for 1st overall yet again. And it is now 9 years since we drafted Taylor Hall 1st overall. This is (frank)ing pathetic. I’m not buying any more merchandise or hockey tickets. I urge everyone else to do the same. Nothing will ever change as long as they keep making money off of us.

I still can't wrap my head around that Sekera buyout. If you put Sekera in the Russell spot there, I really don't mind that D corp. So you have a little less to spend this year, big deal. Sekera paired with Nurse would have really helped his development too.

Chaisson is a little too much $, good to have Khaira back but need to see more from him, Smith is whatever considering the term and the fact that Koskinen needs to be the starter, and I like the Granlund signing (can't see him at center though, will be a winger).

Roster is still a trainwreck.

I think the only shot we have left for a top 6 forward and it's no guarantee to work, is Gusev. We may have just enough cap space to get it done but it depends on the cost to acquire him.

Best to start brushing up on 2020 top prospects because I feel like we are picking top 10 again. At least this year is very very strong!

2020/21 is likely when we can compete if we make the right moves next July.

Everyone giving up on the team one day after free agency, granted times have been tough for a long time now but, this teams fans suck. And always will. I’m going to reserve judgement and wait until this roster is complete or wait another 2 months. It’s july 2nd people give me a break. The amount of whining and complaining from oilers fans is unreal.

-The worst record of all teams over the last decade.
-4 first overalls.
-One playoff appearance in 12 years.
-Missing the playoffs 3/4 years with the best player in the world.
-The worst group of wingers in the league 9 years after a rebuild.
-9 years after a rebuild, a bottom 10 finish, and no cap space to actually do anything about it. >which has been the case for 2 years now.
- just bought out their 4th best dman on an already weak group and we don’t actually know if they’ll do anything with the money.
-Sellouts every year for 13 years.
-Top 10 in attendance every season for a decade.
-A very real possibility of the leagues best player since Mario demanding a trade if the oilers don’t turn it around very soon cause the organization has long ago reached historic levels of futility.

But super douche here wants people to blindly shake the poms poms for home team cause he’s too stupid to know the difference between rational expectation and blind love.


Oiler fans are the best and most loyal in the league bar none.

I dont think anyone is giving up, but oiler fans are allowed to complain after basically 15 years of sucking balls. In my opinion , people complaining means that they still care

That pretty much covers it You can disagree with the negativity all you want, but any argument that it's unwarranted is beyond asinine.

Hang on Pee wee;

Kenny is up to something. Perhaps packaging Lucic and a top prospect like Bouchard to the Leafs for Nylander and a first. Something like that is about to go down. Take it to the bank and put it in your savings account.

Puljujarvi will get thrown in mixed with something for something also. Oilers fans got two more potentially ground shaking events coming before season starts. Two more months of summer boys and girls.

So quit crying over your burnt toast. We got a new chef in town.

Frank you and frank that, after 13 years of drinking the kool aid, oiler fans have the right to be upset with the mismanagement.

Uhh if you look at what it costs to dump salary it's more like Lucic and Bouchard for a 3rd or 4th round pick...

I mean there’s no reason to actually believe this is the case tho. Ken holland hasn’t made a organizational changing trade in like a decade. (While That “inexperienced” kid in Toronto made about 3 in the last week)

I hope you’re right tho. not the dealing Bouchard part, but a move that at least gives us a chance at making the dance next year

Well Kenny was yapping about getting a 20 goal scorer but prior to saying that he said 5.5 was too rich for Nyquist....I actually got a headache listening to him

If im still here b1tching and moaning after the last decade, pretty sure I will be no matter what happens.
That said, Connor demanding a trade because of our ineptitude of surrounding the best player in the world with even a somewhat competent roster might go a long way towards testing that...
