Thread: Deadline defensemen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SwarmChair</b></div><div>Not actually. While he’s the least sexy of all the defenceman the Oilers have he is nowhere near the most mistake prone. He’s steady back there provides a bit of puck movement. Nothing special but he’s not a liability. He hasn’t been one for years.</div></div>

no, this past 8 game winning streak ceci has constantly been one of the oilers bottom 3 defensemen, When ceci is on the ice opponents shots, goals and chances go up while the oilers offense (especially draisaitl's) go wayyyy down, ceci's poor defending and offense are being covered up by the 5 man unit of 93-97-18, 14-2 who have been dominating every line they play against and scoring at a crazy rate IF the oilers want to be true contenders they need upgrade on ceci who is playing out of his depth range and acquire a true top4 D who can compliment nurses game as ceci takes away from his game

91-29-28, 25-5 has been the worst 5 man unit since being put together even being outplayed by the 4th line (brown and ceci put up some of the worst metrics in the WHOLE LEAGUE when on ice together)

Thread: getting drai real wingers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SwarmChair</b></div><div>I wouldn’t expect that cause I expected the Oilers to just stay the course. There’s no emergency reason to dump Campbell at this point, our goaltending has looked stellar recently. It makes no sense to pay up to dump Campbell, so we can do what? Go get a goaltender that won’t even be better than Skinner? Cause those are the types of goaltenders that are available on the market</div></div>

the oilers need someone to split the net with skinner before they burn him out again just like last year and pickard has played 1 game and looked good but his career numbers show that he is nothing more than an organizations great #3, trying to play him as a 1B until playoffs doesn't seem like a recipe for success there is no rush for a goalie now and other teams know it so maybe they won't high ball the oilers as much knowing they are not that desperate to move jack, Now might be the lowest it's going to cost to dump campbell so might as well get it over with
