I didn't actually expect Edmonton to make the playoffs this season but I thought they would compete, hang in there but finish 6 to 8 points out when all was said & done but then only after pulling the plug when they realized it wasn't going to happen. I certainly didn't expect this, 18 points out with 21 games to go. I assumed we would see some form of improvement.

As a long time seasons ticket holder I'm shocked & seriously disappointed. 2 seasons tickets aren't cheap & watching the ineptitude defensively of almost all forwards with this team many that have been full time NHLer's for 4, 5 even 6 years is mind boggling. It just appears that it has nothing to do with if they can they play 2 way hockey they just refuse to.

It has to get better, it can't get worse. I'm just not sure I'm prepared to wait as a seasons ticket holder. I probably fork out again even though my wife has said no for the last seasons in a row. She won't even go with me any more.

no clue...I just know that Bergie was impressed with Yak's character off the ice etc.

I also think Yak hasn't gotten a fair look in EDM, personally I'd keep him.

(someone taught Ovechkin to play better D, and he was horrid).

I don't think we're a good fit as a trade partner with the Habs.... Now if Chia could land Vatanen for Yak the Ducks want a scoring winger.

I don't get why any Leaf fan would have any animosity towards the Oilers (at least until they steal Matthews). Animosity should be completely focused on the Sens/Habs/Canucks. Otherwise it's just wasted energy.

Totally agree. But it's hard to say anything about the oilers and not sound like a troll. Especially now that people are extra sensitive because of all the first overall crap that they have to listen to constantly.

A lot of gloom in this thread.

Same phases every year:

1. Fan base gains hubris from 1st overall pick. Writers that don't know the Oil start talking playoffs.

2. Hope builds as 1st overall pick dazzles in preseason. The sh*t talk starts with other fanbases.

3. Oilers go .500 in October. Sh*t talk continues.

4. Oil start dropping below .500 by second week of November. Goldfish sh*t talking fans disperse until next Draft.

5. Real fans commiserate through a last place season and debate options to fix team.

6. Playoffs

7. Fan base gains hubris from 1st overall pick. Writers that don't know the Oil start talking playoffs.

Hah wonder when it ends.

Agree the Oilers have more right than any fan base to be frustrated at this point. Agree with Sticker777 ...

Thought Oilers would have a much stronger 2nd half to the season and even hold a playoff spot at some time.

People are undervaluing a lot of those guys outside of Edmonton - atleast fans + media.

McDavid is obv McDavid......... Hall is a player that has shown he can be elite scorer for years. Draisaitl and Nurse are certainly guys that are top young players with potential.... but the values of RNH, Eberle, and especially Yakupov (I won't even mention JS) - those guys aren't getting any respect.

I'd be shocked if RNH is here in October but I would be more shocked if he doesn't bring back a key piece, especially on the blueline.

Eberle was solid in the 2nd half from what I remember but you need a team that meets the checklist: Can take his contract, has a need on RW, is likely contending or playoff team, and has the asset desired by PC.

Yakupov.... this is the worst. Despite him being different than other Russian players, I wanted the Oilers to take Ryan Murray from the beginning. I can't say it's what I said on the draft day - partly b/c I can't remember lol ... but you got to move him - I think before the deadline because I don't see the guys playing well after the deadline. Although it wouldn't surprise me with what's going on
