Thread: Start of Next Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>Okay, I can agree with you there for sure, value would be quite low right now. If there is not fair deal, the Ducks should obviously hold onto him in hopes he can bounce back and if not, like you said maybe next year would make more sense to move him.</div></div>

If we havent traded guys like Steel, Jones, Mahura, Larsson, etc after disappointing healthy seasons, I dont understand the logic in trading Comtois after a bad half a season that he had major wrist surgery in.

Trading him for a second, or a package like the one here doesnt accomplish anything positive for us.

and for what its worth Dallas Eakins line-up decisions are some of the worst I've seen in 20+ years of watching hockey, for example Derek Grant regularly gets more ice time than 80% of our forwards

Not fully excusing Comers regression but there are some factors that are out of his control at play here

Thread: I got my wish welcome aboard woody
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>That should fix the lack of secondary scoring, pourous defence and questionable goaltending!

Man, Ken Holland really set you guys up for failure. The team *should* be better, but the issues this year are the same as they've been...I'd be pretty frustrated if I were an Oilers fan.

That being said, it's pretty clear that Tippett had lost the room, so change isn't a bad thing.</div></div>

I don’t think Holland has done anything wrong can look at not addressing goaltending last offseason but at the same time look at the season mike smith just finished posting. He did do a lot of good such as Hyman getting nuge signed long term for less than he was making. Nurse locked up long term granted think he rushed that signing and coulda gotten a better number on that contract if waited but it’s done. Most of the moves he’s made that haven’t worked are short term cheaper deals for depth. I think it’s a far better roster than we have been seeing pretty much all year. Nice part about woody leading the charge now is he knows the youth better than anyone and has gotten a lot of out them which Tippett for the most part wouldn’t trust leaning on.

Thread: Chiarot is a winner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>You're saying Gallagher isnt an asset? He drove the hottest goalie, outside Igor, crazy last night! The Oilers would be foolish not to go all in with McDrai's best years. They already dived in on EKane.</div></div>

I'm saying that Gallagher would be a bad addition for free. As your fellow Oiler adherent <a href="/users/Cbzblaze" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Cbzblaze</a> says, his cap hit would preclude much more beneficial moves, plus there's the cost of acquiring him and the $34 million cost in real money over the next five years. Trading away your best shot at an ELC top-6 forward for Gallagher would be just about the worst move I can imagine Edmonton making. But be my guest -- you guys are my two crummy local teams' direct competitor!
