its abit hasty I realize;
but looking at the races down the wire, various team needs, percentages of the lottery etc etc

im highly certain its gonna be hanifin

Most likely. Poor Macdavid, at least the next 3 years will be in either Buffalo, Arizona or Edmonton.

Id be hoping like hell Zona tanks their asses off down the stretch. At least it's warm there.

well said.
if abit graphic...

I would always start a team from the net out if I could. It is easier to have a solid goalie and a good defense with hardworking forwards than it is to have good offense with solid defense and a hardworking goalie.

Cool beans. I;m gonna be up late anyways cause H.A. was silly and needs to go to the hospital. That (frank)er just better have made a new will leaving me the snakes and crocs so I can make clothes.

Sorry I hurt your feminine pride. But you are a chump. You have a womans job. You're a ginger. You dont add anything to hockey talk at all. All you ever do on here is throw out petty insults, talk like you're a doctor, which you will never be, and rub dinks with guys on here. You even tried bragging earlier about how cool you are texting a random guy you met on the internet. That, along with your female dogy attitude, and feminine job??? Hmm I wonder what kinda things get put in your orange haired poop shoot??? Maybe I should add a bunch of emoticons now like you to try and make my point look better?

You literally just made a bunch of sh1t up, and exaggerated as usual. Dangles said to quit, and he is right, besides there is no reasoning with someone who is incapable of reason. Enjoy your backwards outdated view of the world, karma will be a b!tch when you have your first stroke or myocardial infarction before your 45th bday, and you are surrounded by male nurses.

Still my favorite show of all time. I watch every rerun I come across.

I watched the Shrinkage episode earlier. Still unequaled as a sitcom.

I share this sentiment but Kopitar is one of my favourite players. Where was Colorado before EJ? Where was Minnesota until Suter? Where was Tampa until Hedman emereged? Until the Oilers have a guy that can lick the sack of one of those guys they will suck monster cock.

Tampa did win a cup without Hedman. That's a while back though. I don't remember who was their #1 dman at that time.

As much as Handjob can suck my Richard, I do think that Buffalo has a good prospect pipeline to work with. I do also think that Edmonton is not as far off as most people think.

I already told you I was content to just talk hockey but you just don't quit. So (frank) off already.

As far as living locales, Zona is the best one.

I still maintain that if Edmonton happened to get him....trade him to the Yotes for OEL and Hanzal.

I spent a couple weeks around Yuma a couple years ago. Gorgeous place. I can see why the snowbirds all flock there. The old ladies get sunshine and shopping, the old men get golfing and hot young girls to ogle.

Oh ya forgot all about him. I just looked up the year. Holy poop! 11 years ago already

It's all personal though, I'd personally choose Edmonton or Buffalo over Arizona 8 days a week, so who really knows what that kid wants? If Arizona would pony up OEL and Hanzal I would hope MacT tries for a little more but in the end still take it.

we need a goalie
and a defender.

im stoked for hanifin, but he doesn't solve any immediate issues. even through a trade as we wouldn't get fair value.

macts gonna have to work some magic.

we cant be here next year or its pretty much a failed rebuild.
those kids will never be able to get it done together

I can't believe that Pavel (frank)ing Kubina sniped home 17 goals that season.

Meh. I've dealt with enough snow. Come retirement...well actually, unless my kids move somewhere warm I'll probably wind up staying here. But I'll be a damn snowbird too.

The way the team is playing, if we add another elite forward, I wouldn't be opposed to trading them Hall to play on the wing of which ever center they draft, for OEL.

this

if we hit that 11%, this is exactly what id do. for that exact package. and theyd do it I bet

that's preferable to hoping he changes our fortunes singlehandedly next year. its preferable to dealing a nuge whos just now coming into true 1c status. and preferable to the package wed get for draisaitl

A goalie should be easy enough to acquire when you hold 6 picks in the first 3 rounds at this draft. Hanifin could be another Exblad which would still help the Oilers immensely but they would be better served by having a veteran that can play to a similar level.

I hate sweating my balls off anytime I do anything remotely physical outside. -15 would be my ideal all year weather.
