Maintenance day or just for the sake of change do you think?

Why are they so dead set on keeping Eberle away from RNH this year? There's a history of scoring from that combination. Lucic was always a bad signing. Maroon is giving you better value at a fraction of the cost and was good last year when playing with McDavid as well. It sucks that you have 6 more years of Lucic now. Is he a Vegas candidate or does he have a NTC? But on the bright side Caggiula looked fantastic before he got hurt and if he can even be serviceable as a third line center than LD solves the top right wing problem the team has right now.

Well I was gonna demand Tkachuk as the winger they throw in but if you insist I shall whip myself to see it done.

Just so we are clear, I don't want to move Puljujarvi. But no one besides Connor is untouchable as you yourself said.

They wouldn't do it of course but I'm feeling like being an bumhole at the moment.

interesting

cant argue too much. the way kassian played in his first game back, he deserves top 9.
and slepyshev brings a hard forechecking game with skill as well.


funny i forgot about him too when i was chatting about all the added depth we have. hes an intriguing player. might turn out to be a great piece

I would feel better with Slepy playing a constant 4th line roll

Solid bottom 6 winger. I hope he eventually produces like a less hairy version of Ryan Jones.

Hells Yes!!!

So did you drop Brodie yet?

Slepyshev-Letestu-Pitlick as the 4th?

from what ive seen this year, cant say id hate it. playing a physical game is one thing, but when you also have some skill to add to it....

and since theres only so many spots to go around, and with caggilua and hendricks (who i probably wouldnt even play anyway) coming back, maybe puju in the A is the way to go.

might be for the best, but those few games right before he went down he was really turning it around. i actually thought he was the best player on leons line a couple nights.

works for me

Hells Yes!!!

i didnt. sitting him tonight in favour of trouba. thatll send a strong message!!

i gave him one last chance and he got a single point int he drubbing the rangers gave them, so ive held on to him

but seriously, his totals are 3 assists and 22 shots in 16 games. just brutal.

but yeah, another game or two without substantial improvement and i wont really have a choice

There is no reason to keep him up this year. As for Leon they need to put him with wingers that actually compliment him better.

Lucic has a NMC the entire way so he has to be protected in the LV draft and most likely another one after.

keep pitlick in the top 9.
kassian on the right side of the 4th.
either way theyre interchangeable and can be switched

so who sits when caggiulas back?

kinda seems like we either sit slep or send down puju.

poo, nuge, leon
looch, caggiula, pitlick
slep, letestu, kassian

Holy poop, the Oilers 2012 draft was worse than I imagined.

2013 and 2014 are nothing special either. Hopefully something useful comes from the lower rounds in 2015 and 2016.

Yeah it would be nice if I had something better to work with but I'm just happy to be playing.

pretty bad

khaira might still be a quality bottom 6'er going forward. the definition of a project.

lallegia is a quality skater

but neither are sure nhl'ers in any capacity by any stretch
and those are our best two by quite a margin

He should be in the AHL

Or on the flames top line
