A good way to prove that is ask yourself if you took the best player off of every NHL team how would they fare? Out of the 31 teams, I say Edmonton would struggle the most. bustamente, Floyd and Goalie 3

FrostyWinnipeg Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Was checking up on Andy Ladd and turns out the reason he's only played 14 games is due to lower body injury and there's no timeline to return.
Brandon Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 Quote This in from Chris Johnston of Sportsnet on Mikko Koskinen’s new three year deal at $4.5 million per season: “2019-2020: $5.2M2020-2021: $3.3M+$500,000 SB, 2021-2022: $4.5M.” What the fack are they doing in Edmonton? Spend 4.5 million on a guy with only 30 games to his name???? So how is Noeller and 17to85 going to spin this in a positive way?? How can Edmonton woes not be blamed on the GM??? Brossoit is making what again? 650 k? Floyd 1

U have no idea or patience with young guys.
The Unknown Poster Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Posted January 23, 2019 It’s amazing that he was allowed to make the moves he did recently. Seems he was fired more because of the public backlash.

They can wait another 20 years collecting first round draft picks on the way. It's our time now. Brandon and FrostyWinnipeg 1 1

Jimmy Pop Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 So ol Pete makes Joe Mack look like a competent GM. That said, EDM's problems go way beyond Petey. Gretzky, Gretzky 2, Lowe, McTavish, Nicholson... too many cooks in the kitchen. Jets list Chevy, Zinger and Simmonds in their mgmt team... that's it, that's all. Then a few dozen scouts. Oilers would be wise to follow suit... I hope they don't, tbh.

Noeller Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Keith Gretzky had been the Asst GM for a long time...there was literally nobody else currently in the organization to take on the role of interim. They'll find someone at the end of the year, I'm sure...
Jimmy Pop Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Jeff O'Neill joking he'll throw his hat in the ring.... Which would be awesome!! Simultaneously keep the Oilers putrid (as god intended) and make TSN way more enjoyable. HardCoreBlue 1
HardCoreBlue Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Chiarelli’s successor facing NHL's most challenging fix . Jermain Franklin Challenging? Ask McDavid what he needs and make it happen. :-)

I ran in to him out for dinner last Friday and had this very conversation. He’s an RFA but is hungry to be a starter in this league. Feels he has the game for it and is ready. Only slight against would be he like to hang out with Petan... The Unknown Poster 1
