Oh when he can't even break up one play in the d zone then it's time to move on.

I don't think the Oilers are excusing Schultz, and I hope Schultz isn't excusing himself. I'm just saying that it's ridiculous: No player in the NHL should not expected to be physical. Every player has to make contact when it's needed.

No evidence of that at all. Pure assumption.

Morris, Yeti, there are two of you here now so like the killer Bee's you need to tag team these (frank)ing trolls and banish them.

No evidence they didn't. Pure assumption.

By RW I assume you mean on an Eastern team right?

Maybe it would help get his trade value up.

top price for what d-man? u have to draft those guys these days..

Erik Johnson, Sekera, Goligoski, Burns, Bouwmeester, Phaneuf. All top pairing guys who were acquired in trade. Not all are top players but play on the first pairing on their teams.

Dion shouldn't be a top pairing guy.

How about Eberle + 2015 1st + Marincin + Perron +etc. etc. etc. . What do you mean? Not saying we should give that up, but it's not like we couldn't.

Management had not to date appraised the need as acute enough.

EDM needs a star back there. like a Ryan Suter.

they didn't get Schneider. So there is evidence they didn't offer enough

It's called competing in my books. You need to want to beat players to the puck.

I'd take any upgrade. Beggars can't be choosers.

Congrats on the ref promo...

Dion might not be a true #1 but he is easily a top pairing defender.

CHeD is hilarious. Rob Brown is challenging the core. Bout (frank)ing time.

I never thought I would miss Strudwick.

MacT was pissed and the consensus was that the Oilers offered more VAN just wasn't interested in facing Schneider in their own division.

JP is (frank)ing awesome

I'd take any upgrade. Beggars can't be choosers.

have Kindl. for nothing.
