Like you always say, it's June, they've got plenty of time to make changes. Building is a process, they've got five main blocks from which to build.
- LeftCoaster

Yes this is our first June at the bottom . This is Oilers 11 th.

I wouldn't say they only have three, but I view it more like they don't have a healthy balance of players. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians.

McDavid Hall stars

Draisitl very good

RNH and Eberle Good and most likely one or more will be traded

They have three good forwards, that is not enough to win
- VANTEL

LOL Nuge and Eberle are both very good players.. Both are legit top 6 players. Plus one of the best left wingers in the game to go along with a elite franchise center. Drafting 4th where looks like they will get another great top line forward prospect.. haven't even mentioned Drasitel.. their defence needs work though. Klefbom is pretty good though.

The Canucks have been at the bottom for much of their existence

But I like where they're headed with Benning drafting.

Then get the man some picks!!

Then get the man some picks!!
- ClarksonDavid

We have prospects

Not homer at all they keep drafting forwards and pay very little attention to everything else. they can score goals but they cant defend.
- VANTEL

They allowed 3 more goals then us....

They have assets to trade for D.

We have Horvat, they have McDavid.

We have JV, they have Draisaitl.

We have Boeser, they have Hall.

Then get the man some picks!!
- ClarksonDavid

he's done well at the draft table, he actually has six picks, although four of them are in rounds 5-6-7-7.

We have prospects
- VANTEL

Yeah prospects not all will pan out so add as many as they can and hit on a few

Yeah, gotta figure they will find a way to get a pick or two in round 3/4

They allowed 3 more goals then us....

We have Horvat, they have McDavid.

They should win the cup then

Yeah prospects not all will pan out so add as many as they can and hit on a few

You guys have prospects....the Oilers have NHL proven talent.

They should win the cup then
- VANTEL

Before we do?

Absolutely.

That just about covers it.

Did I ever say any different?

That just about covers it.
- HawkfaninBC

It's not rocket science. I don't care if they haven't made the playoffs yet.

You guys won the cup in what your 2nd year in the dance? I'm not saying that will happen but a team like that can grow up quickly......especially with a guy like McDavid leading the charge.

- ClarksonDavid

Every single one of our prospects will play . Even if they don't want too.

- ClarksonDavid

They have a similarities with the Canucks in that they both need to make the right moves NOW to ensure they succeed in the future.

And that they both rely on previous GM's from Boston to right the ship.

I guess we will see who was the real brains of the operation was.

"you're going to play in the NHL. Whether you like it or not! Keep complaing and you'll be starting!"

Did I ever say any different?
- ClarksonDavid

No, just saying. It's not the same situation.

People here are all excited for the future because a guy lights it up in college, yet dismiss a guy that gets 70 points in the NHL.

I've laughed at the Oilers for years and years, but there time is near.

That just about covers it.
- HawkfaninBC

Our goalie and D is 10 times better . Our two way game is better . Also with all that tremendous fire power that the Oilers have, they scored 8 more goals than us . That also is not rocket science.

I agree with you 100% , maybe I shouldn't have used the wink. The Oil are on the verge of being very good ,if not great with the addition of a couple of D and some good role guys. I see them competing for the Cup very soon with the right moves.
