if edmonton can't do better than ference nikitin aulie for upgrades on defence, I'm sorry they're never making it out of the bottom 3 - oilerfan94
Which is why he's tried to fill in until our guys mature. There are no big upgrades out there to be had without ripping the teams youth out. |

Ference absolutely made sense at the time.
Faynes better than those u mentioned.
And no, they couldn't. Even nikitin wanted to test the market before he agreed to come here for an overpay.
we wait on our picks or hope to rip off a desperate team. - Ihateallofu
going into summer #3 on the job, how long do u wait. i like fayne too, good #4 or #5 who plays against top comp. W/o Petry edmonton now need about 3 top 3 defenceman and they've fetched precisely zero of those in 7-8 years so I'm hard pressed to give my stamp of approval |

In case you're forgetting, Schultz also got a goddam 1-year "prove it" contract. A fact everyone seems to neglect when this argument happens. - MaximumBone
Yeah. A great bridge contrac without any of the benefits of a bridge contract.
And even better is he has to be QO'd at basically 4M this summer. Great GM-ing.
Oh, and remember when he offered more money to David Clarkson than he ended up getting?
MacT isn't far off from Feaster level "I don't need to trade for Seguin because I think I can sign Bozak this summer" stupid |

I do believe we've upset Matt.
- Dangles13
you're suggesting he needs more than a season to fix a garbage fire and no big name free agents will come or waive ntc's? !!
Apologists!!!
I'm actually surprised at how stupid he sounds.
he had me convinced he wasn't this dumb

I would love to see the Oilers sign some top notch free agents but it'll never happen, they were just declared the most undesirable NHL franchise. Even Derek Roy turned down the Oilers offer in the summer. |

Alternative free agents banging down our door?
It's like you people haven't been paying attention. - Ihateallofu
free agents the only way of attaining players? i'm no MacT hater but the amount of forgiveness for a pretty subpar job up to this point surprises me. personally don't see edmonton competing for at least the next 3 years and he's done not much to help |

Jagr had a run towsrds middle-end of century. But these things are short lived for guys who aren't named crosby/Gretzky.
Joe was certainly the best player in the world for a stretch of a solid 3-5 5 years imo - Ihateallofu
Im not sure Joe was the best player on his team for that long. |

U keep saying this.
I'm aware.
But if petry just wanted out (which is far from out of the ordinary for free agents and edm) what can one do?
Wayyy overpay?
Then you're screaming for his head again.
If uve got a link to the big name free agents mact passed up, I'd love to read it |

They qualify him and take him to arbitration and he won't be awarded anything special. |

Something along the lines of how Clarkson felt "I should have taken the extra money and gone to Edmonton" |

If you qualify him and he accepts you don't go to arb, unless he turns it down. |

The team has been worse under him than it was before, he cant get a handle on his defense at all, cant get a handle on his goaltending at all, wasn't able to secure 4 centermen for the beginning of the year, tried to outbid Toronto for Clarkson, hired Eakins, fired Krueger via Skype, Nikitin, Belov, Larsen, Grebeshkov, bold moves never happened, and has taken no responsibility for his mistakes at all while being here.
One of those things he can get a free pass on. Not all of them. - Matt_Henderson
I live how you point out a bunch of low risk stop gap D signings as a failure.....like he chose those guys over OEL, PK Subban and Shea Weber.... |

You still don't get it. What alternatives did he have?
I guess he should have traded for Weber and Price.
Stupid gm. - Iggysbff
Not signing Nikitin. Signing Petry. Not gone into a season with Arcobello-Draistal as 2 of his 4 centers. Keeping Marincin in the NHL. Keeping Perron.
This comment section could have put together a more competent team this summer. |
