Pysyk will instantly probably be the best defensive prospect in EDM's system.. Enroth is better than any goalie currently on EDM's roster

Leo was the biggest minute eater on the Sabres last year and probably had more points than all but 1 of the EDM's dmen last year..

then you get Ennis who had 25 points in 25 games to end the season last year.

I like your use of the word "probably"

Klefbom > Pysyk

Dubnyk = Enroth

Leopold is 32, RNH is 19. Doesn't matter how many minutes he eats (even though the Oilers have 2 dmen very capable of eating the same minutes)

Don't want him. Very talented player but he is small and I would worry about durability. I hope I'm wrong, the league needs more natural talent though.
- Dwight K. Schrute

I really questions some peoples intelligence...RNH is 6' 1" and gaining muscle every day. He is not small and anyone that actually watched him play would not say he is small or weak. RNH is not going anywhere, so stop the ridiculous (that what they are...completly ridiculous) trade scenarios with him.

Change Pysyk to McNabb then... Shultz and McNabb can be their top pair for 10 years... else it will be Myers/McNabb here in BUF. Ennis is a 2nd line C. Leopold is a 2nd pair D in a contract year. Enroth could compete to be the starter with the depth at G EDM has.

It's a trade that gives 4 roster players to EDM and has them give up 1. RNH will be great, but people over value stars over depth... did anyone watch the Kings win? Not 1 player had a Pt/Gm... Kopitar was closest at 76... next? Williams and Brown at 59 and 56 respectively... all 3 players missed 0 games.
- UBBob713

Depth players can be got through free agency and trades.


Stars cannot.

Leopold is 31 and on his 6th team. He's a replaceable part. RNH is not.

Subban is going nowhere Ek.... stop fishing for page views using the Habs faithfull.

2nd last in goals against...they played no D
- flashfire

Better check again.

I would say Bozak is comparable.
Look at stats from last year and tell me otherwise.
- BoBBeR56

One season is all that matters, hell lets just pick one game and compare that instead.

how about the fact that the Oilers were the 29th place team and scored 212 goals? you don't think its easier to score when you don't play a defensive system? Also, the Oilers haven't played a meaningful game in 5 years they have ZERO pressure. Teams contending for playoff spots play low scoring defensive games down the stretch where the Oilers are just looking to have some fun
- flashfire

there is zero pressure to win in EDM? have you been to EDM? nobody wanted them to finish where they did. The first third of the season they were two games above .500. did those games mean nothing. You must not watch a lot of oilers games, there weren't a lot of 6-1 games where they made the game look interesting at 6-4

Clueless!

Kadri can't crack a team that all centermen on can barely crack 50+ pts
- oilersfanatic

Kadri was Wilson's victim under the run and gun system. He was brought up and sent down enough time that would shatter anyone's confidence. This kid has magic hands, amazing hockey IQ, tremendous ice vision and plays physical. He's training like an animal with Roberts and he is coming to camp with a vengence.

All the ones who bashed him will be sorry for not being patient and being blind to his potential. His name will be know in the NHL soon.

I would say Bozak is comparable.
Look at stats from last year and tell me otherwise.
- BoBBeR56

Yes Bozak is comparable, 3 years older and finally after 2 NHL season manages to get the same amount of points as Gagner has had 5 straight season, almost the same

Subban is going nowhere Ek.... stop fishing for page views using the Habs faithfull.
- mlindsay

I heard he was going to Jamaica for the week......are you saying he is not a World traveller?

BREAKING NEWS.....Edmonton is talking to Calgary about a trade that sends JBO to Edmonton and prospects to Calgary!

Not that I believe any of the twitter phonies out there.. but this is interesting..


LegitimateHockeyNews ‏@RumorExpress
Names being involved are Omark/Hemsky/Paajarvi

Probably because he's playing in the AHL and not getting his confidence up.
- willey101

What? Play 3rd line mins in NHL getting no special teams play vs playing 1st line mins and playing special teams...

2nd last in goals against...they played no D
- flashfire

really wish Flames fans were learn how to count. Unless you take Western Conference alone, the Oilers were not 2nd last in GAs

Better check again.
- robin_steele264

23rd actually

One season is all that matters, hell lets just pick one game and compare that instead.
- HuileHab

Gomez 33, 2 goals 9 assists and $27.9 million per year.

Better check again.
- robin_steele264

in the west, whatever...if the Oilers ever wanna win they will have to lock it down a little more. Are you saying the Oilers don't run and gun? because they do

RNH will not be traded.

That is all.

What? Play 3rd line mins in NHL getting no special teams play vs playing 1st line mins and playing special teams...
- BoBBeR56

he could always play 3rd line minutes and then play speciality teams on the Leafs. besides 3rd liners don;t get much less ice time anymore.

Subban>>>Myers and that's not even debatable

Subban for Hall, 1st pick, conditional 5th round pick
- Le_Moderateur

I have to disagree.

I would take Myers over Subban.

But I wouldnt be upset if I had Subban.

Well Bozak has only played 2 full seasons in the NHL so hard to compare 5 vs. 2

pretty easy actually. 5 is more.

366 gp.

So which two of Weber, Karlson, Doughty and Pietrangelo do you see Myers beating out to be a Norris trophy Candidate in the next 10 years?
- stormeyAlterEgo

Uhhhh, all of them. If Myers hits his ceiling (which is Charra), yes, definitely, all of them.

Remember, big guys take a but longer to come into their own. And really, its a crime that a forward won the Norris this year.
