Thread: Contract and Prospect overview for the offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruceBanner</b></div><div>I think they will have to go higher on Desharnais. He can get more on the market for his size age and play.

Why do you have Wanner over Akey?

Absolutely loved ve your analysis. Brilliant work. Otherwise completely agree.</div></div>

Oilers Management and coaching staff during Training camp/midseason openly discussed the idea that Wanner is maybe 1-2 years out and just has to fine tune some aspects. I really like Akey thought he was a slam dunk of a pick when they got him but with his Injury very early on in the season with the Barrie Colts which kinda f'ed his development, if he didn't get injured he would be at #2 .

The Oilers also have planned out their right side on defense to where in potentially 3 years it could be Bouchard, Wanner, Akey.

thanks man

Thread: What if
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I don't really see the point from Anaheims perspective. We don't need to be getting a 3rd center with a top 3 pick.

Is the gap between Zegras and KJ covered by the separation of Celebrini to Lindstrom? Probably, but I also ask why CBJ would do this when it's known they could use another top 6 C. This just feels like shuffling pieces around for sh*ts and giggles.

I also fail to see what bringing up Gauthier has to do with anything.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruceBanner</b></div><div>I don't understand why Columbus would think to do this. Even if Kent wants out ( rumours) you would not miss on Celebrini even if you are wealthy at centre.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Celebrini is projected to be a franchise player. Zegras, Johnson, and Lindstrom are probably elite when it's all said and done, but not franchise cornerstones.

If we get 1OA for the first time in franchise history and<em> trade it</em>, I'm personally moving the team to Arizona.</div></div>

I agree. I was just posting this bc a friend of mine asked me what I thought about this. I told him very similar things. You all gave the same reasons I explained to my friend about.

That backend is disgusting.
This definitely makes them a better team.

What do you do about coaching??</div></div>

I think granato stays. Our owner can't get out of his own way, when it comes to the Sabres. When he bought the team, he threw money around without a second thought, but he's become more conservative with the Sabres the last few years. Granato has a three year contract that hasn't started yet, pegula wants the Sabres to be a lean operation. I think what's likely is granato has to throw his assistants into the volcano, then the Sabres will blame the rest of this season on injuries. I can see granato refusing to fire his assistants and getting fired, but that's about it. The Sabres have developed a bad history of looking for coaches with ties to the organization- so if you wanna guess at who the next coach would be, I would say Seth appert (Sabres ahl coach) would be the runaway favorite, with some other former Sabres rounding out the field, i suppose ruff is an option, but we need to stop making the same mistakes over and over again. I don't see a torts or gallant coming here, which is really too bad.
