Which is really depressing.

I do hope we can ink roy but he could very well use us to get his next contract in a desirable place.
- ystoil

Really depressing.


That or try and leverage us into a multi year contract we shouldn't be giving him.
But if he walks, people will be calling for mact's head.
And Roys prob upped his value abit.
He'll try and corner mact I'd wager. And why not? He's only got a couple contracts left in him

Fair point. I'm sure Gagner could have netted a decent center if the Oilers retained salary.
- Dangles13

Gagner was a better #2 center than we went into the season with. Even if we just held onto him the center depth would've been better.

No you're right, MacT is god. How dare I say he should've done his job and iced a NHL caliber lineup. Jesus (frank)in christ you get touchy whenever anyone even mentions MacT. I didn't say he was a bad GM. I said he should've done a better job. Does MacT have pics he's holding of you getting railed from behind in a Vancouver jersey or something?
- Ihatebrianburke

He should tell them that if they don't sign then he'll take them for a drive....

is that any better than Purcell? At least he comes off the books after next season. Weiss has 3 more years at 5m
- DDM-Coga

Weiss plays a more valuable position that the Oilers are craving.

Easy bro.
I don't think it's that black and white tho.

It's not mact is god.
Or
mact is a total failure.

It's somewhere in between.
And imo, considering what we know of EDM's desirability, it was probably far more difficult than many of us thought

true, but his back injury would have scared me,

I'd have no issues with 2 years... 3 years may a bit much. Don't want him too comfortable.

Pitts pick should be saved for him if you dont move it
- DDM-Coga

(frank) that. We have enough left shot defensive prospects. Especially if we take Hanifin. Brandon Carlo or Jordan Greenway are my choices if we use that pic. Nicholas Meloche for our 2nd rounder. Hell of a player and every time I say his name it reminds me of the tennis player from Seinfeld.

Revisionist history.

We finished last twice, 2nd last, 3rd last and 7th last with sam Gagner.

He's now in roughly the same position as 2c for another bad team that is probably gonna finish 2nd last.

I'm not saying how much of it was his fault, but he did not make us a decent team. Ever.
I'm pretty strong on this one
He is not a good center.
He's got decent hands. And every other part of his game his average or worse

I'm missing something here.

U mean if random wins the lottery and we're then in 4th spot, someone might offer a package to buf/Arizona for the 3rd to take hanifin?
It's possible yeah.


It sounds convuluted , but it's really not imo.
As of today, based on a few factors, I'm willing to bet that it's very very likely hanifin is an oiler
- Ihateallofu

Wouldnt hurt my feelings...

do not break up that first line
- Ihateallofu

Nope way would I break that up. Eberle and Nuge have picked up their play without Hall in the lineup. I think they're both more prone to diverting the puck to him when he's on the ice rather than making plays themselves.

I thought Strome was the target? If you are going Hanfin, yeah you take a big baby moose of a foward

That's what I said. I don't hate MacT but I do consider us going into the season with those centers a failure on his resume.

Gagner- goes into the books as another missed 1st rounder drafted by the Oilers...


(frank) that list really killed this team

I'm not a huge Gagner fan either but he was a better option than Draisaitl as 2nd line center. That's literally all I'm saying. No more than that.

even if we take Strome I still take Carlo over Kylington

Ya the Prendergast really (frank)ed us!!! Worst scout ever!!! Let him (frank) up Buffalo's multiple high picks this year

I'm not saying I don't but Chet and I did appoint ourselves as Co-GM's...
- Dangles13

this is fact.

Kylington isn't an option at all. There's no way in hell we take a guy ranked 24th by ISS in the top 5. If that happens I no longer cheer for this team.
- Ihatebrianburke

Kylington was top 5 most draft lists up until recently. ISS has been off the mark before.
I guess you know best though...

- Ihatebrianburke

I forgot him. What if we go with 2D in the first round? I wouldn't be upset at all.

- Iggysbff

Kylington also didn't play the WJC which effects rankings to a certain degree as well. I think he will be a great sleeper pick given his previous rankings and the prospect reports.

- ChetManly

easily could be there, draft is going to be fun to watch, I think there will be lots of trades bc of this. Teams will have probably drastically different rankings and will be willing up or down to grab guys if they think "they are falling"
