"Top centre" could mean a lot of things.

In an NHL where Tyler Bozak is a 1st line centre and Mike Richards is a 4th line centre, I have no idea what "top centre" means.

Also, Dreger is a moron.
- Morris

It means LA is a Stanley Cup Champion and the Leafs are a laughing stock.

Even if we just traded Perron, Purcell or Pouliot for a player of equivalent talent but who played centre, and even added in a 3rd as a sweetener, we'd be better than we are right now.

I still think Arizona makes sense. Yandle and Hanzal/Vermette for Perron and other stuff.

Would improve us big time. Question is what and how much other stuff....

Time to hire Glenn Healy.

What if it was Yandle + Vermette for Perron + Nurse?

Would hurt. But I think I do it.

Yandle would help so much. Pp. Breakout. Mean.

He seems to have really good advice for goalies who are being scored on. Usually that they drop to their knees too soon, or their glove is too slow or they are faking an injury the pussies. Seems like the perfect goalie coach, Scrivens will be standing up the whole time with three gloves (one on his stick) while standing at the blueline.

You'd almost have to at this point.

Yeah, I feel like playing respectably over the next 10 games could seriously make it the difference between other GMs having us over a barrel and demanding the 1st be included in any major deal and us being able to approach with slightly more equal footing.

On the other hand, the sooner roster changes come, the more effective a team we can be.

Tough times for MacT.

Nothing wrong with dropping to your knees too soon.

Perron being traded because he's frustrated and has value, or because of perceived and cryptic slight against teammates and coaches?
- Morris

Want to send a real message to the team, give Perron the C after his comments.

I know your pain of being a fan of a mismanaged team. Luckily, we picked up a GM who seems to know what he's doing. Hopefully MacT can keep this sinking ship afloat. Now, would you want Myers and Hodgson...

Coburn for your 1st.

This has been an underrated factor when people seem to think he's just a better Schultz. Would make a big time difference.

Well I mean (frank), enough is enough, even I'm pissed off at this point.

Sometimes you need a little addition by subtraction. All I know is standing pat is the WORST possible idea.

I think it is the kind of trade Edmonton has to do, but I can see why they are in such a tough position. I would be hesitant also.

Sure... how about Perron and Aulie??

What did he say?

Oilers need help everywhere. Please trade your first round selection this year. Please keep McDavid and Eichel out of Edmonton. Please get a competent GM that knows how to build a team. Get players that can keep pucks out of your own net instead of stockpiling players that can (supposedly) put the puck in the net. Get help on the back end instead of this hodgepodge of underwhelming players.

You have the pieces, go get leadership and a winning attitude. And if your GM cant do it, go get a new GM too.

Quite frankly I dont care much for the Oilers, but I am sick of seeing them stockpile top talent and ruin their confidence.

Hall Arco aulie for kreijci, mcquaid/Hamilton and Reilly smith

We suck? I miss St.Louis?

Hasn't change been coming for past 5 years or so?

I wouldn't trade Perron... sure he hasn't been good this year, but who has?.. This team is a mess. I am not a Oil fan but thought that when they traded for him last year, it was a brilliant move and I thought he was Oils most effective player last season. He's the exact type of player they need. Here are a few ideas...

Fire Lowe ASAP
Fire Eakins and hire Bylsma
Trade away Yakupov and Eberle.
Keep Hall and RNH.
Trade for some damn veterans to teach the kids how to win.
Trade for Chris Stewart so he can crash and bang and make room for the skilled guys and put up points
Build a time machine and send Draisaitl back to WHL and not expose him to this mess and let him develop.. hes not NHL ready!!
Somehow find a real good fit partner for Schultz because I still think he is real special and will put up a ton of points

I realize Oilers are in a horrible situation cause other GM's know how desperately they need to make trades and will make the Oilers pay HUGE to trade. So they may have to just bite the bullet and just not get what they hope for in return. I am very curious to see what they do and I am still real shocked they haven't done anything yet.

Bunch of comedians showing up again.
- Iggysbff

Oh, sorry. Let's get serious.

Hall for Crosby and 3 1sts

We suck? I miss St.Louis?



- Nucker101

Our bet though......

don't do it, stand pat. guarantee trading Eberle and co. for 60 cents on the dollar will backfire.
- TheJerseyDevil1

60 cents looks pretty good if you got a hole in your pocket.

Hodgson? He doesn't understand defence.
