In fairness, I would have signed the Staal brothers given the chance. I never would have guessed things to go the way they did with those guys. Just goes to show how difficult it is to build chemistry.
- PeterThePuck

They've been fine. They aren't the issue. Issue is poor goaltending and a severe lack of talented depth.

Canes didn't draft worth a poop outside of round 1 for about 5 years. It's hurting bad now.

Well we ARE starting Cam Ward.

Please beat us
- BINGO!

Its not just those 4 guys but I dont believe Yak will pull in 6+ mil per season

Yak hasn't even earned a contract worth over $1m. If PC gives him an extended contract in the millions, I will personally find him and kick him in the cornhole with my frozen steel toed boot. They will need the millions to sign guys that are actually putting up results.

If we lose tonight- we should forefeit the whole (frank)ing season...

Should get Kevin Lowe to coach and GM, 2nd decade of the rebuild and still in last place! Pathetic

How can you say this ??! As if you can't see this team is better and has improved??! It's like you're purposefully ignoring that on ice they have improved !!! Totally ignoring the improvement they've made and solely focusing on standings!! You're so negative wanting to not be bottom of the league anymore


Furthermore, Only happy thoughts please.
It affects me deeply how u choose to cheer, and I'd appreciate it if you were lockstep with my opinions. Yay for positivity

I can't wait to hear all about moral victories not mattering any more for 10 pages thanks. HB77 please enlighten us with your wisdom.

In a way I sort of wish we needed to resign Yak this year and not next. If he plays a full year next year with McDavid and does well it will help his side in terms of contract negotiations. But I wouldn't be surprised if he would sign a 1-2 year deal for around $4 mil to play with McDavid and hope to get a big contract after that.

For Nurse it will either be a bridge deal or something similar to the Klefbom deal, which I hope is the case.

If Draisaitl keeps playing with Hall and they continue having the chemistry they do then I imagine we will try to lock him up at the $6 mil mark like all the others.

I think though when it comes close to resigning McDavid some decisions will have to be made, particularly involving Eberle and RNH.
- EastCoastOiler

Decisions may not have to happen THIS year but they will need to be made sooner or later because in this salary cap world not everyone can stay unless they are willing to take cheap discounts...we got lucky with Klefbom how many more times will that happen to us?

True, their next type of luck will be if guys like Hall and RNH don't ask to be traded by the end of the year. I certainly won't blame them if they do.

But really dude, This is getting weird. Get me outta your head.

I'm sorry, but We ain't happening. I'm way out of your league and I could never be with someone I don't respect. You're just making it uncomfortable now...

Haha that is funny. Anyways the Oilers should/need to win this one. It would be nice to see the Oilers torch the three rookie dmen that the Canes are using.

Oh, so you guys are gonna go at one another again tonight? Good to know so I can avoid reading that. There's a certain hypocrisy in you guys complaining about him complaining about his displeasure with the results. It's just as tiresome as his undying negativity.
