Thread: TDL Cup Run

The current lineup is better.
Barrie is better than Klingberg and has chemistry with the guys.
Desharnais is as good as Edmundson at this point in his career.

Thread: 2023 Stanley Cup

I'm not a fan of Bouchard; a very low sense of urgency. I think Broberg is already better than him and don't want to move him or Holloway. I thought the ask was equivalent to 3 first-rounders for Chychrun and those are my three least valuable. I don't see anyone offering more and I think it is time to go all in with a weak West and expiring contracts. Overpay is OK as long as we get the right guy.

Toews is the other key component as he brings actual leadership, not the kind Keith brought. They need someone to guide Connor and Leon and legitimately hold them accountable. The first-rounder along with 2 serviceable contracts works for Chicago and helps with the Oiler cap. Chicago could flip Ceci, but in my opinion he is overpaid for a mid to bottom pairing defenceman on a cup contender.

Thread: Best use of Cap Space

If you look a little closer, both Kane's are on this roster with the intent to win now. I prefer EK91 over Patrick, but what a first line. Need more physicality on defense; hence Soucy over Barrie. Barrie is expensive and unnecessary for future Oiler's success. Need to give some of the younger guys an opportunity to grow on an NHL roster with 3rd pairing protection and limited cost. My biggest concern is Murray, but I don't think Keumper or Soup resolve the issue either and are more expensive.

Thread: help

Why bother making any trades if you plan on running Derek Ryan as your third center? Eliminating his team-leading -13 needs to be addressed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>My question is why did he really want out of Chicago? Timing of investigation timing of the trade way it all went down I’m sorry he’s already in my eyes to be full of bs to use his son as an excuse on top of this matter I can’t help but to see it that way and I’m fully on board telling him to stay home not attend a single oilers event game or practice or charity event nothing that involves the oilers organization.</div></div>

Totally agree. Holland should be held to task for overpaying for a guy who is clearly still not a leader.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>When multiple players come out admitting the team knew it’s hard to believe a couple of the “leaders” happened to not know.

Keith is a liar; he knew as did Toews and Kane. The NHL should void all of those contracts. I can't believe the mismanagement of this from the onset. Even more incredulous, is allowing this abuse to completely destroy an 11th overall pick and still not have the fortitude to correct their actions. Disgraceful.

Not sure what you expect to get for him at the trade deadline; but it won't be as good as Yams, a 1st and Benson. You are right though; Gaudreau probably declines so he doesn't have to participate in the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Flames and Gaudreau decline that trade</div></div>

I wouldn't trade Yamamoto straight across for Gaudreau, who is a perennial playoff underperformer. Oiler need playoff studs.

Thread: 2021

I'm assuming you didn't watch how difficult it was to play against Hedman, McDonough, Sergachev or guys like Weber and Edmundson. Barrie, Russel, Bouchard, Keith don't even compare physically. Need some toughness on D and seriously; you would rather have Koskinen who started how many games with a goal on the first shot than a young Georgiev? Did you watch the guys faces as the started so many games down 1 nothing before it even started; so demoralizing. Koskinen is a proven loser and you need to pay rid yourself of that mistake.

I sweetened the other deals to ensure they go to Edmonton. I like the defense better without Bear, but maybe he has more value elsewhere. Just need to get Neal and Koskinen off the books this summer and preferably without paying for years to come.

Have you seen Ethan Bear play? Everyone is talking about Nurse's inconsistency. It coincides with Bear's return to the line up. He has value now, so move him.
