Technically I didn't say it to him. My buddy Jazzca1974 was banned for this.

I don't watch much Oiler hockey.

My question for you guys: Is Nugent-Hopkins not a top line Center?

If anything my opinion is the Oilers need some defensemen. And maybe a second line center.

- Pikey Fan

yes.
or at the very least well on his way to being a true 1c. hes had some banger games this season and is a different player since hes bulked up
hes far ahead of some established 1'c at the same age.
but he does have nights where hes outplayed by his counterparts, which isn't surprising. and considering he still only 21 (!!), the 1c competiton he faces some nights, and what we have behind him down the middle, on defence, and in net, we're generally cooked on those nights.

and we certainly could use a quality 2c for now and the next year or two instead of thrusting draisaitl into minutes he cant handle at this stage in his career.

but yes, I agree that defence should be the priority

How about Eberle + 2015 1st for Big Joe + Niemi (based only on signing extension)??

Wonder how would this team be if we still had Kruger, The PP was unreal when he was the bench boss.

I had my little diatribe this morning.
u all know I don't think Krueger does much for this team, but I cant argue with Eakins results either. just terrible.
I just hope if Eakins gets fired, they also add some quality to the roster.

plus, I can only sporadically retort as im trying to work on a literary research paper on PTSD and its correlation with the short story "the things they carried" by tim Obrien.
painfull work, but the story is actually pretty good. I recommend it

What's wrong with it?? Gets us a #1 C and #1 G. Gets us out of the basement.

Don't be a chicken..... make the deal. Maybe swap 1st rounders within the deal??

I love Jumbo Joe but he is 35 already, I'd rather get someone 5 years younger.

At least you guys have the Eskies!!!

I'm sorry dudes, but everything Edmonton is turmoil. I'm sure McEichel will help.

Could care less about the age right now. He'd teach all of our kids a thing or two.

But 5 years younger..... are you suggesting E Staal?

Both players of course would have to waive first before accepting trade to the Oil.

I like Joe too but that price is way too steep. Niemi isn't that poop hot anyway but he's an upgrade.
How about David Perron, Justin Schultz and Ben Scrivens for Joe and Niemi ?

Exactly, the organization is afraid to make a move and lose the deal. Clearly picking top 5 isn't working so why not.

E.Staal, Dubinski, M.Richards, Brooks Laich are all guys I want. D.Roy, Cullen, Fisher from Nashville would be an upgrade over what we have.

Hey meatball, I disagree. Imagine that.. The goalies are not the issue as compared to your D. Through Gio and Brods on your team and you guys are right there.

First off go (frank) your self.
Secondly, go (frank) your self.
Thirdly, go (frank) yourself and
Lastly, Gio and Brodie are so (frank)ing good they would have the oilers at least close to a playoff spot.assuming Eakins didn't pair Gio with Aulie and banish Brodie to the press box.

Joe has a NTC and it' been rumoured that he's pretty reluctant to waive it. Is Edmonton of all places really gonna be the situation where he says "fine, (frank) you Wilson, I'll waive to go play there".

I no longer desire to trade Perron but I'd be ok with that.

My thoughts:


1. E.Staal - Sure!
2. Dubinski - Sure (gotta be low cost?)
3. M.Richards - Sure! (low cost again?)
4. Brooks Laich - Have always liked him.
5. D.Roy - Nah
6. Cullen - He'd be alright
7. Fisher - Ms Underwood signed his contract and for sure a 29 team no-movement
