It was tough not adding Bailey and Baptiste and since I haven't seen Fasching play, I couldn't add him either in the top 10. I went with Schaller because he is playing in the system atm and having a solid year as a pro.

Baptiste is another I continue to forget about. Same with Possler. It seems like Possler is injury prone though

Pretty confident we get McDavid huh? Also, I would bet that Pysyk and Ruhwedel get switched around.

Also, what Norris trophy candidate or winner is making $5.5M? His salary is not an issue and won't be going forward. If he's a very good number 2, what's wrong with that?

Duncan Keith.

5.538.

100% confident we get McDaivid. No way we lose out on the lottery 2 years in a row. You could flip/flop Pysyk and Ruhwedel but atm I'll give the edge to Ruhwedel.

Looks like the salary cap will stay at $70M, due to the Canadian dollar. If that happens, a few teams will be up against the cap next year.

Im not even 100% sure we finish last (highly likely but still) I admire the confidence i just can't see it happening. But then again, I couldn't imagine reinhart in a sabres jersey so what do i know

Well, now that the travel ban here has officially been lifted, I may try and make it to the store again.

My top 10

1. Risto
2. Reinhart
3. Armia
4. Zadorov
5. Grigorenko
6. Compher
7. Lemieux
8. McCabe
9. Pysyk
10. Schaller
- mhp

Schaller is going to be 25 by seasons end.

He is nothing more than a 4th line/13th forward player in the NHL.

Kane-Reinhart-Eberle

Foligno-Girgensons-Compher

Which Kane? And are you talking a Myers trade here?

All things considered, well.


How's by you?

The Oilers could screw up my plan.

Getting a lot better. The melting might cause some problems though.

Evander, and yes.

So far so good here. No water in the basement and the roof didn't have much snow to begin with, but most of what was on there fell off over night.

The Oilers could screw up my plan.
- mhp

A loss like that usually equals a firing of some sort. Can't imagine that 7 years later ownership would want them to tank yet again.

Watching Ryan mallet throw a football is painful. He should play here.

They are going to make moves and get better.


IMO Edmonton's problem starts with Lowe and Mac.

Another example of an organization not going outside their history for employees.

Evander, and yes.

Interesting idea.

Their main problem is ownership imo.
