Oilers are going to live and die with Dubnyk this year. MacT doesn't have the assets to get a good goalie, we have no prospects in OKC, we can't afford to trade any of our decent players, so we're stuck with this bunch of crap on the ice for another season. The best we could do is trade this year's first (Top 5 pick for sure) to get Ryan Miller and try desperately to resign him. No other starting goalie is on the market. Dubnyk has screwed us all. Another year of looking up at the Flames and their rather successful rebuild.

Oh stfu. I know they've started poorly but seriously dude it's only a few games in. Check back and see how quickly the Oilers have started in previous seasons.

It wouldn't be straight up i dont think. I doubt Sens would have to add much though, he showed what he can do last night, keeping the Sens in a game vs The sharks they had no business being in
- david22

Yes but the Sens still need to add more specially if they want Eberle.

No thanks.
- AlEx_OiL

Lol but you would trade Yak or Eberle to the Sens

You mean like Scott pushed Kessel?
- Al Hacker

Ya i'm pretty sure that was the same..

You mean like Scott pushed Kessel?
- Al Hacker

no

Trade Hall. That's what would be best....get a goalie + and have rnh/ebs be the leaders. Too many cooks in the kitchen now.
- FLflames34

You're retarded.

Lol but you would trade Yak or Eberle to the Sens
- SiloCity

For Lehner + yesssssss

How abou trade none of the four and act like this when calgary has there stars
- Oilers42

Right so hand on to everyone and list them all as UNTOUCHABLES and continue the never ending rebuild as if everything is right on course . It might be early but I think the Flames are maybe proving that sometimes you have to let go of someone in order to bring in pieces that the team needs. A team with 14 franchise players might not be that well off when they come up agains a team that has the heart and the desire to win

Only problem is Millers age.
- david22

He has at least 4-5 years of solid performance in him. Hes been relatively healthy minus some groin issues that hes always rebounded from. Hes shown no signs of breaking down or anything that would indicate hes getting "old"

Leafs were missing there best defensive forward Kulimen, best defensive D Fraser and Clarkson who has yet to play. Had they been playing not a chance the Oilers would have scored 5 goals
- sarasotamike

Lol, even when you win the excuse train fires up. I remember Kulemin being trade bait for tons of you last year.

As much as I'm enjoying this at the moment, I still think we will have a tough year. But unless you guys find an answer to your goaltending issues... Anything is possible...

and how did those seasons end for them?

- Svensational47

The year before last the Oilers were near the top of the western conference until sometime in November. Might be early? Lol.

- Zombie27

Yes. That's the point.

You're retarded.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

The point is that allot of people say that we have all of these untouchables. It's sure nice watching the Oilers lose with them. You have to give to get, and Smid will not cut it in a trade. even with an Omark throw in,

Now this here, this is a logical statement.

He was suggesting trading Hall for a goalie.

- geta02it

Agreed. Goaltending is still the wild card for Calgary too...but at least they can afford it to be. The Oil need to at least be 9th if not better this year.

HOLDING! Wtf??!!??
- JLO961

Know what? you're right....he held him up, then pushed him away with a foot over foot trip...all within a second...while the puck was still there...so holding would prob be the right call...if the ref wanted to call it

- TheTaoOfSemenko

Depends on the goalie I guess. What if there was a deal with the Rangers? Won't happen but.......

Miller (3 mill retained $) + Tyler Ennis for Hall + poop contract you want to dump
- SiloCity

No

He has at least 4-5 years of solid performance in him. Hes been relatively healthy minus some groin issues that hes always rebounded from. Hes shown no signs of breaking down or anything that would indicate hes getting "old"
- SiloCity

Still no thanks,Lehner should be the Oil target,and if the Oil do go for Miller,I don't believe the Oil would not offer any of the Hall/Nudge/Yak/Eberle,The Oil need a Goalie for the Future no just a One season or two Goalie,Lehner fits well for the Oil Future.

Now this here, this is a logical statement.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

And good luck addressing it, the right way, without giving up a blue chipper. A developed goalie is going to cost one of them....but of course, it is retarded to consider this. Riiiiiight.

Now this here, this is a logical statement.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

Same as you guys making the playoffs... Hmmm...

He was suggesting trading Hall for a goalie.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

I was suggesting Hall for a goalie + . And lehrer would be a logical starting point.
