jjgallow Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Oilers suckage seem to know no limits either time or space related. Bedard has to be getting nervous now, I would not blame him if he refuses to be drafted by any team named after petroleum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oiler blogosphere has other crazy ideas. Erik Karlsson. The Oilers have $10M available cap next season. 10F, 5D and 1G signed with that little remaining. This year they are close to max LTIR used. The Karlsson rumor was Barrie and Pooly for Karlsson with money retained. Slightly sideways trade for offence, losing a top 9 F as well. And they have zero depth beyond the 2nd line. They need a shutdown D and scoring forwards, but go ahead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good. I hope the Oilers continue to move out good assets for players who won't address their weaknesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And might have either traded Mony much, much sooner for a good return, or held on and worked with him through his issues. Maybe done a yearly MRI. But ..yeah..lol. You wold know better than me if Lucic would have been a better desperation move. Organization should have bought Lucic out if they actually cared about winning. Was their mistake to begin with and there are paying fans. Almost zero point in buying out Lucic other than creating a vacant spot. No cap savings. Doesn't help other than sink us for two years. Neal was the problem, where scouting identified him as a viable target. Very few of the trades have worked out recently; Lucic, Jarnkrok, Carpenter, Lazar to name a few. I don't have a problem with Kadri or Huberdeau or Weegar. Rooney was before the Tkachuk situation was an issue. Other than him, we are paying the cost it takes to play here. Kadri went for less than was expected. But that doesn't absolve him for keeping Lucic. At worst Monahan would be on IR for part of the the season again and we have a real player as opposed to Lucic. At best, we have a Backlund level player that we can re-sign next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oilers suck. Need McPoints to score on the McPowerplay. Puljujarvi is getting to the point of giving up. Yet, he is no less a hockey player than little Yamamoto. Who needs defense other than to score a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had any desire to trade Lucic, then we don't need to sign Lewis. Just saying. It was probably next to impossible to trade Lucic, but who knows. There was no suggestion of it.

travel_dude Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Good thing the suckage continues up north. Oilers lose to Ducks with their new starter (Skinner) on 17 shots from the Ducks. They had 49 but many of those were 3 or 4 on the same initial shot. How do you lose 4-3 when you have 49 shots and 6 powerplays. And yes, all but one of their goals scored on the PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Oilers give Skinner essentially the Vladar deal. I actually like this for the Oilers as I like Skinner but it's hilarious they are now are paying their backup, who honestly should have been their starter this year I thought, half as much as their starter and he's out playing him. Will never get tired of the Oilers shooting themselves in the foot with bad personnel mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sak22 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Worth noting McDavid recorded 33 PP points that season and already has 34 this season. He was +3 that season and is currently +3. In 2019 you could essentially say they were a team carried by McDavid and Draisatl, nowadays they are only carried by them when the other team is minus 1 or 2. 5 on 4 they are like the Harlem Globetrotters playing the Washington Generals, 5 on 5 they are like the Harlem Globetrotters playing an actual NBA team and yes that includes when the big 2 are on the ice.

Yeah, that's a pretty good description. I would boil it down to the Oiler can only win when they get at least 2 PP's in a game and almost always lose when the whistles are put away.

medatswhoP Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 Like Oilers need more offence lmao, the greasers will continue to be a one trick pony with only power play goals to win games. 5 on 5 they are a horrific team. One injury away from being a complete disaster not that I wish that but its inevitable. Until they get serious and look at defense they will be a bubble team. I cant wait until either Mclottoball or Draisaitl ask to be traded, its not the team I loathe but merely their whiney bandwagon fans. When they win they see Stanley, when they lose a game the sky is falling lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big winning streak, McD with 92 points including 46 PP points, and $9M of cap relief used to ice a team. 4 forwards with > 60 points and the next highest poinst by a forward is 15. $32M buys you 118 goals.
