Thread: Edmonton fans come Lets discuss
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlickWilly</b></div><div>I mean, the only game EDM won in the season series was the game that Lehner was in instead of Crow and McDavid wasnt playing. The two games the Hawks won it was essentially the same lineups they are both presenting today. Not saying I think the Hawks will sweep, but I think that speaks to their ability to match up just fine</div></div>

First loss to the Hawks was no where near the current Oilers roster. There was no Larsson, Yamamoto, Ennis, or AA they replace Persson, Nygard, Granlund and Jurco. Second loss Oilers were missing Klefbom while 1 player missing shouldn't mean too much Oilers D for some reason always falters without Klefbom's 24+ minutes

Both games lost also were the last game of a road trip and like game #3 in 4 days if I remember correctly.

Thread: Big Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sarakas</b></div><div>St. Louis has been playing tandem goalies for years because it's easier to find a strong tandem pair and more reliable then a goalie of Vasilevskiy's caliber. No idea what happens with Mike Smith's contract next year but either way, Allen's an improvement over both of them. If you think the oilers can win a cup with Koskinen who'se a 32 year old goalie with subpar stats, then I think Edmonton is wasting years of mcdavid and draisaitl.</div></div>

Allen was decent this year but only played 25 games behind a top 3 defence core by no means would I consider him an upgrade til he puts up numbers on a bad defensive team. Plus the last like 5 cups have all gone to teams that run tandem goalies. Yes, 1 goalie takes over in the playoffs but that's the point to have a goalie that has played 20-25 less games during the season so they don't burnout for the playoffs. Also don't know if you know what subpar means.. because Koskinen was better than league average in both GAA and SV%

Thread: Mark Spector has lost it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>Spector is doing what he does, he carries water for the Oilers Management group.
They were getting a lot of slack on the Broberg pick back then and after recently prospect rankings, they were getting slack again</div></div>

You mean Craig Buttons list? Guy doesn't even have Bouchard in is top 50 but has defensemen like Thomas Harley, Ville Heinola, Lassi Thomson, Alexander Alexeyev, Bernard-Docker. Using Dobbers NHL certainty and fantasy numbers Bouchard with 8.8 certainty beats Thomson(6.0), Bernard-Docker(8.0), Alexeyev(8.5), Harley(8.2), Heinola(8.5). Also Broberg has a 9.3 certainty rating so its not just Spector that's rating him highly. By no means does that mean I think he has passed Bouchard but he is showing promise of becoming a NHL top 4 guy in couple years.
