Thread: Oilers fans complain about forwards not being able to defend
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>I don't agree with the philosophy surrounding our entire bottom six as a whole. We have two defensive checking lines: if the Oilers want to seriously capitalize on a meek pacific division, then middle-of-the-road production behind the top six isn't exactly good enough. It might suffice, but the road ahead becomes easier of they opt to reinforce the third line.

I like a 4th line of Nygard-Sheahan-Haas and am open to having Archibald as the 13th forward. Names like Glendening aren't moving the needle in a third line scoring role, no matter how defensively brilliant he is. Names like Benson, Bonino, Fast, Pageau, etc are the guys that Edmonton should be looking at. The defensive assignments that will be forced into big minutes in the playoffs against McDavid or a Draisaitl-Nuge line will open up a lot more opportunities for those 30+ point players and would give the Oilers a phenomenal edge in any game against any team.</div></div>

I would push for Tierney over any of the guys you listed (Pageau has been amazing but likely too expensive) Maybe JP+Pick gets you Tierney who is still under team control

Thread: Winnipeg needs D
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>I'm not sure, probably not much given his age and contract as you say but I'm a big Little fan so I really hope he can return from this and get back to the player he was and shut up all his effing naysayers!

If Little does return he likely goes to 3rd line RW and struggles cause Adam Lowry is the worst 3C in the league and it's a line where offense goes to die!
Ugh, it's so frustrating, so much depth and the opportunity to have an actual 3rd offensive line that'd still be defensively responsible but I just know that Maurice won't put Little or Copp at 3C, he'll leave Lowry there and the entire bottom 6 will struggle because of it. Who knows though maybe Little and Copp or Perreault could drag Lowry to respectability but I highly doubt it, there's also a chance he drops Roslovic down to the 3rd line and either puts Little on Wheeler's wing or makes Little 2C again and puts Wheeler on his wing, hope that he keeps Scheiffele and Wheeler separated whatever happens.

On a positive note it sounds like Little is skating again every other day so that's encouraging, hope the guy is alright regardless of if he ever plays again, he seems like a class act.</div></div>

Was selfishly thinking he actually fits into what Edmonton needs currently maybe in the offseason for a bit of retained salary he could be had for a decent price :D
