You’ve got 2 NHL players.

Try to get a 3rd one.

Baby steps!

You’re not very good at this trolling poop. Very low grades in being clever and even lower in creativity, F- in humour, same in originality. You need lessons from a master. Perhaps a 2 year apprenticeship?

Yea was cute watching elliot save him..but hey that's a great core of old players the flyers have. Gives you great pride and confidence to troll. To be fair though, hockey sticks look like canes upside down, so maybe they will enter their second prime years.

Our old core?

Giroux at 32, Jake at 31, and Provy at 23....yep just ancient.

Oldest guy on the team is Elliott at 35.

Only 6 guys over 30..Giroux, Jake, JVR, Elliott, Braun and Raffl.

We are actually one of the youngest teams in the league.

it's Bruce, he embarrasses us real fans all the time

Guess the oilers had no plans on solving goaltending...

Ennis turris barrie Smith?.guys nobody wanted...what a mess.

My favourite is how Barrie is going to redeem his defensive abilities by going to a team with as much defensive flaws, if not more, as his former team.

i dont think any Oilers fan thinks he’s gonna tighten up his defensive game but he is a superior puck mover to at least most of the rest of the D core on our team.

Yeah all fan bases have that one guy.....

I don't like the Smith signing but if Koskinen can play as well or better and Tippett is smart enough to play him more... it's not the end of the world. Smith is also only paid 1.5 and then .5 in various "performance" bonuses.

I don't like any of the players as two way guys but the Oilers added a poop ton of offense for dirt dirt dirt dirt cheap.

No shortage of talent or goals. Hopefully Tippett can harness that into consistent winning.

Oilers defensive play did not improve. Oilers top six did not improve. Oilers goaltending did not improve. All they did was find a third line center. No applause for these moves. Not shocked
