Thread: Team Canada WCOH

I'm a big skinner fan but with the way his play has been so far this season I don't think he's above hart right now.

Thread: Oilers

you kind of just made the team worse
Ceci > lyub
kulak is a very effective 3LD and is still better than broberg
foegele is also a good 3rd liner but he just has no finish hopefully lavoie can help with that
Kane is not the same player he used to be, He's a defensive liability who needs to carry the puck to be effective which would hinder 97 and 29's game.

also lavoie doesn't play C and hasn't played there in a long time, putting him there now in the NHL would just be a recipe for disaster

if you don't think jarry is a good goaltender then why would someone pay a 2nd rd pick for him??

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Very nice set up. I would start Skinner though.</div></div>

I forgot to switch them but yeah skinner is more than likely the 1A this year again, I think he'll play 40-48 games this year ideally if soup can bounce back and handle starts again

Thread: JarnkrokLilegren for cap space

trading linjegren would be a big mistake he's still only 24.

Thread: Easy route

no way bouchard signs that, he will be looking for a short bridge deal to cash in when the cap raises or an 8yr deal and walking him to FA would be bad asset management
Foegele > Janmark tbh

Thread: if was wants mic

Edmonton declines, with Nurse-Ekholm-kulak/broberg our left side is fine, it's RD they need to improve so trading a prospect in a position they're weak at makes no sense

Thread: Offseason acquisitions

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SidTheKid99</b></div><div>How does it differ from any other year?</div></div>

thankfully there are rumblings that bob Nicolson might retire, Kenny then moves to President of hockey ops for the final year of his contract then Steve Staios or Brad holland move in as GM, both value analytics so either would make me happy if true

No more picking up the leafs garbage or players on career high Sh% or PDO merchants just like Bo Horvat

Thread: Just a few more tweaks

i think ceci might not be as negative as people think, Everyone seems to forget that he plays against the best players every night and his Comp is always in the 100th Percentile, moving him to a team that will move him down and playing against 2nd-3rd liners would be massive for him

Thread: Space for the young guns

yevseyev is going to be a very very interesting prospect to watch when he comes over from Russia, He just wrapped up his season in the KHL and had the best season for 18 year old defender ever**
he's someone i'm going to really have my eye on

*I could be wrong and it could be only LD but either way he has put up good numbers as an 18 year old in arguably the 2nd best league in the world

bouchard-ekholm works a lot better with mcdavid's line and Nurse-ceci works well with drai's line

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Are Oilers fans liking this 11F/7D lineup?

I'd totally have Kostin in there.</div></div>

yeah Vinny.D is now an important part of our PK and arguably our best D PKer but he isn't that good 5v5 which is where broberg-kulak come in to limit his minutes. Kostin SH% heater has come to an end and he isn't as effective as everyone thought Bjugstad can bring the size play on the PK and smart in his own zone, Ryan is a good 4 C/RW and foegele is really picking it up which makes shore, Kostin and janmark the players out

i'd be hesitant to move petrov, he has an unreal shot and has 23g-53a-76p in 50gp in the O he looks like a 6th round steal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>When did he say he wouldn't sign an extension in Canada? Not arguing, just asking.</div></div>

I think Eliot Friedman or jeff marek said that on the podcast a few days ago but i cant remember, I have seen numerus tweets about it from reliable sources tho, think it might have something to do with a visa or conditions

Thread: Can the Oilers actually get Karlsson

Gavrinkov is not the type of D man the oilers players want, they want a D man who can actually move the puck out himself and not just bank it off the glass which is all gav does, he's so washed this year
gavrinkov also said he wouldn't sign an extension in canada so i doubt he even wants to come here

Thread: Stay put Holland

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilednGreasy</b></div><div>Show me where they said this, please. This AC GM is my opinion. Don't make things up, or try and speak for the team me</div></div>

Scheafer and yamamoto are probably going to be good 3rd liners and that's about it, players like that aren't difference makers in the playoffs keeping those picks and wasting mcdavid and draisaitls prime years is not a good idea the gap between gretzky/messier to Mcd/Drai is about 30ish years do you really want to wait that long and go through another decade of darkness for another chance with players like these???

also Eliot Friedman reported on the Oilers players wanting a puck mover on his 32 thoughts podcast today with jeff marek about 2 hrs ago

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BouchBomb</b></div><div>holding onto 1st rd picks that'll most likely be in the 25-32 range and most likely wont make the nhl for a few years when mcdavid and draisaitl have 4 and 3 more years on their contracts isn't a very smart move, If we want to win something before Drai's bargin contract is over we need to win NOW. Do you really think a few more ried schafer's or kailer yamamoto's are going to put us over the top like a Erik karlson, jakob Chychrun or timo miere can????</div></div>

the Top player such as Mcdavid, Draisaitl and Nuge have also made it clear they want some who can actually move the puck and not just bank it off the glass so that rules out Ghost, Edmundson and gavrinkov as trade options and leaves us with chychrun, karlson or potentially ekholm

i'd stay away from McLeod until he clears his name from the 2018 WCJ Sexual assault scandal, We have enough crooks and criminals in this organization as it is

Thread: Opening Night Roster

We are not trading Puljujarvi, Mcdavid already said he wants JP on this team. If anyone is going its foegele because we have so many LW's and not as many RW's
Paying 2.75M for a 4th liner is not very smart

Thread: Kostin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>1) I put no thought into the lines. It was meant solely for the announced trade.

2) Kostin requires waivers, which is why St. Louis traded him instead of sending him down. They would of lost him for nothing if they had.

Which is why he won't be sent down. Oilers will lose him for nothing if they do. Not the brightest idea after trading Samurokov for the guy.</div></div>

as per bob stauffer via twitter "kostin will report to the condors"
