LOL no joke, if you are thinking otherwise, you must be joking. hate to go into a year with only McDavid and no other offence, at least we have 2 right now. Bouchard our future number 1 center will be here next year as well as Broberg who is compared to Lidstrom like and Samorukov a 1st pair D who is NHL ready next year as well. Also we have Bear who looks great on our 1st pair right now. Like do we seriously give up 1 of our 2 offensive men for another D. That would be a joke to do!

Hahaahaha, this made my Friday.
Thanks for those comparisons... Bouchard so good he hasn't made the roster out of camp 2 years in a row.
Broberg already being compared to Lidstrom a Hall of Famer before he's even stepped foot on NHL ice... LOL
Ethan Bear who wouldn't be a top 2 defenseman on 3/4 of the league rosters but is in EDM because THEY HAVE NO D DEPTH...

This may be post of the year.
ahahahahahah Oilers have no D depth, that is very funny. Do you know what depth mean, we have Jones, Manning, Bochard, Lagesson, Persson and Day who all can play in the NHL, Oilers for once are trying not to rush players up for the first time in 20 years, not sure how that is a problem with you all of a sudden. Holland is also known for slow moving the prospects. Every player has a comparison, if you dont agree with the whole comparison thing, that is up to you. Even Savoie has a comparison to Crosby already. Another hall of famer who is still young and hasnt even been drafted yet.
None of those guys are top 4 defeseman... how is that depth?
Lots of organizations have plethora of servicable bottom pairing defenseman... your D depth is weak, just own up to it.
Its been the EDM crutch for YEARS now.

So depth just means top 4 d only now, not to me, depth means to me that during an injury or 3 injuries someone can be called up and be serviceable, also it means we will have lots of talent in that position, D depth is the only thing oilers have, we have zero forward depth and still drafted another D this past year again. Who is not top 4 D on the oilers. Nurse and Klefbomb certainly are. Bear is playing amazing and has played the most minutes out of rookies in the NHl. Geo in Calgary is one of the top 5 d in the league, he didnt make it his first 2 years, got sent down, dont know how that is a bad thing to be patient.
