Good idea for sure.

no way the Blues move him, if they do, they are in the same situation as the oilers. Hoping to find good value in other teams unwanted UFAs

Maybe Subban out of Boston or Mrazek out Detroit as other options since Howard and Rask are not going anywhere soon

Hold on a second Bubba. Eakins is a piece of poop, but I don't see this steady improvement you're talking about. Who did they beat from the East? Habs and Rangers,and TBay, great! Buffalo , Washington and Carolina, woopTipoo. Most those wins were at home too.
This team can't win. In fact, name 1 winning team that built around a winger? Toronto? Washington? Columbus?Atlanta?
Name a current team that is good that doesn't have at least 2 NHL Centers I. Their top 2 lines, a legit top pair Defensemen and a starting goalie?
Yet you think the Oilers can win despite all this with a different coach? Gimme a break kid.

Junior, there's every chance this team could have won a few games with a real coach. You know, one that doesn't make worthless excuses, and one that has a clue how to motivate a group of men. This coach can do none of this. This lost season is built on a mountain of uncertainty, and at that center lies a lost puppy dog clueless Eakins.

But evidently these guys are counting on supplemental moves.

Unless they think the exact same team + McDavid is going to bring the oilers to success. ..

Now that I got you on here......

1.Alex_oil can make intelligent comments, but zero tolerance should be had for his over usage of emoticons. Bans should occur swiftly.
2.whipper can hang out cuz he's pretty funny.
3. BigErnfor MVP can hang out long enough for 3 posts where we reply using his handle as a synonym for poop.
4. GardinerExpress, Jake24242 , Bieksa#3 and Whiskey Tango must be banned immideatly because they're stupid.
5. HandyJ can make an appearance, we don't need to battle him because he makes himself look stupid anyway, but by the end of the night he should be banned for a week.Ditto for Newmy .
6. Bad trade proposals should not be tolerated. Bangable offence.
7. Graphic Gifs of a sexual nature shall not be punished. If they are too offensive , a simple deletion will do.
8. Yzermanistheman and DDM-Coga should be treated as brothers, DTF69 is a goof and should not be welcomed.
9. If Vancity whines about how is being treated by any Oilers fan, he should be banned.
10. Bloated Mosquito should be given a 1 hr ban after every post. He's pretty funny, but less is more in his case.

Sound reasonable?

I would hope to get a somewhat proven goaltender. Allen is somewhat proven and I'm sure he would like a chance to be a starting goaltender.

Based on what? A couple good players? And you must be an old fart if you're calling this grizzled veteran Junior.

Look...he ain't ready to play behind the Oilers.

It starts with the net out though. Till we start building the right we are effed.
- Yeti1181

I somewhat agree. We need to fix our goaltending so that we can have a chance to win on nights when we're not playing well.

But I think building from the net out can blow up in your face more often than it really helps. Goaltending is volatile in the NHL, and the guys we were talking about even 2 years ago as cornerstones of franchises are often either on another team and/or absolute jokes now.

Do you think Thornton will waive his NMC to play here? I do t think that has been considered yet.

Agreed. Their are only about 5 true, consistant reliable elite goalies anyway. But we need a solid tender at least, but only when we can support him with a solid defense.

He's not playing great but he is still on pace for 55 points.
