Don't ya just love how Alex Steen has 16 points in 10 games....what a great trade by fletcher.....
- ThePresident

Ya but he probably wouldn't have progressed into the player he is now. Plus, that was quite a few years ago now.

I'm guessing, that if he keeps it up, that RC trys out Bozak on the 3rd line and see how it pans out.

RC likes to roll out 3 lines that can score.

You know Bozak will be back on the first PP and hugging Kessly the second he returns. It's inevitable even if Kadri scores 19 points in one game with Kessel.

Oh my gawd, it's been 4 years, he wouldn't be the same player had he stayed in toronto

Kadri is clearly the better centre but the key to that line is Phil-JVR.

Best line combo could be

JVR-Bozak-Phil
Raymond-Kadri-Lupul
Kulemin-Bolland-Clarkson
Ashton/Mclaren-Mclement-Orr

Kadri and Lupul have been strong together.

Not true. If Bozak comes back and that line doesn't produce as well then i think we'll see Kadri on the top line quasi-permanent. Carlyle isn't stupid.

OMG!!! Cant beleive we put Sullivan on waivers to make room for Kristiscthschstch.

I like Raymond and all, but we need to get Clarkson going. I say keep giving Clarkson 2nd line minutes and some PP time. If Raymond earns his spot back so be it.

Whilst pricey, that's the best 3rd line I seen in years.

I think Kuli is the next to go. He has no friends left here.

That was Gunnar and Lupul... Kuli could come back and be a good fit. Hopefully he can learn a thing or two from JVR around the net though

Absolutely. I'd love to get him. But overpay x10?? that's insane.

yeah a defenseman you guys don't even like and have another 3 of his sort for one of the best defensive defensemen in the league who you really need is 10x overpayment?

I can get used to this Kessel-Kadri combo holy (frank)

Ah, yes...combo number 3....this is special, this not last long.






And good morning folks.

But, Im his friend!?

He'll have 20,000 friends stand up for him if he scores goals..

I find it funny that the Oilers play Will Acton simply because his dad is the assistant coach....cant stand that guy, hes such a Richard.

Why do you think Bodie got playing time?

Hopefully he can be a Carlyle type player. He works hard, solid, and plays defense first. Don't see why he couldn't be.

I know...but still that guy Acton is extremely irritating. He just stuck around with the Leafs forver, through every coaching change, never understood why the guy didn't get axed too...he brought nothing to the table. I just find it pathetic that Will Acton was in the Leafs system because of Acton and now that he moved on hes with the Oilers, how long are you going to rely on daddy.

He got nixed when Ronnie came in eh? Or shortly after? I think the head coach should hire the associates..
