btw, at this point I'd actually prefer it if WD plays guys like Megna/Chaput with the Sedins.

The only player I'm really excited for new young players to play with is Horvat, the rest of the lines are a mess right now and it'd be difficult for a Boeser/Goldobin to shine on any of those 3 lines.

I know but nothing is a given anymore

WE will be worse off when the twins r gone but its necessary to go forward.
As for Edler we won't miss him IMO.
Minimum 1-2yrs of bottom feeding is coming i'm sure of.
- Nighthawk

You replace DD with someone else you buy on the cheap who's a UFA. Boucher is there to get the 5-10 goals a season or Chaput...

Trade Dank and put Hank on the second line and then watch it light a fire under Edler... then trade his monkey ass...

Next year could be EG DD Labate JV Tryamkin
- Nighthawk

JV won't amount to anything... he'll finish his career in the AHL or Europe... forget about that guy turning into anything... Kassian will have a better career than him...

I still am convinced management will make a trade for a top 6, they know revenue will drop if they do nothing and that would cost their jobs. (Although thats how a rebuild works) my top guesses 1.E.Kane 2.Nugent-Hopkins 3.Galchenyuk (far fetched but were rumors)
- phyllee

No Chance... he's getting a real shot this season and has taken it... they won't trade him now... maybe last summer or last season... not now when he's living up to the potential...

Are you trying to motivate him with this statement?

I'll take that bet.
Kassian has no career to speak of as it is.
You r smart like hammer

- Nuck4U

JV prolly fall off his beer laughing if he even read that statement.
I know i just did😜🍺

What is the over under on Kassian's next stunt?
It started in Juniors & only a matter of time.
Anyone know who on the oilers doubles as his parole officer?

I'll take that bet.

Turning predictive off now lol
Auto-incorrect as well
Fat thumbs though no solution for it👎 👍😜

I thot Goldy looked half decent last night, I'm glad he got the majority of the game with the Sedins. Altho he missed a couple glorious chances, he did make a couple great passes, nice to know he's not a hog like his linemates.

Molino also looked good, he's obviously fast but I noticed more how rough he was once he got in deep and in the corners.

Any chance now that McEwen is out of the playoffs, he joins Utica?

Just havin some fun with ya

Wouldnt mind Hitchcock as the coach a year and green assistant then when he retires green takes full reign
- phyllee

not a bad plan there ....dont want hitch long term but he's so good at teaching the game. Perhaps with green as a student it makes more sense.

When the Sedins r behind the play & virtually all the rest r young it doesn't amaze me. Thats quite normal & to be expected. Eg the Leafs without Matthews would be no better albeit more offensive.
- Nighthawk

Disagree ...without Mathews the leafs still have others who are playing well ...he has gone long stretches without goals or points and guys like marner, kadri, nylander have stepped up

I know but nothing is a given anymore
- Nighthawk

JV will score 50 next year and Bo will spend the year in Utica

Those are two things that are more likely to happen than just one of the Sedins getting bought out

Yes others playing well but nothing to help keeping the biscuit outta the basket without him & the added possession & scoring he gives to the leafs.
Bozak & Kadri again as 1-2 C is drastically a different scenario.

It's such a crock that the Leafs are nothing without Matthews, he definitely makes them better but, he's involved in around 27% of their offence this year. McDavid is involved in 40.6% of the Oilers offence.

Kadri is a 31 goal 60 point second line center, Bozak is a 17 goal 52 point third line center. Not to mention they have Marner, who's 19 with 61 points and Nylander, who's 20 with 60 points on the wings.

JVR also has 60 points, that's five players with 60 points or better. The Leafs are actually a deeper team than Edmonton is. I hate defending them but it's reality.

I was saying what hard stance i would take lol
IMO no player gets a free pass after their expiry date.
In Daniels case he is nearing being washed up if not already.
He could have a renaissance season next year but i'm not holding my breath.
The twins best hope is a new coach & idk if its even WD that it is the problem.

Team play has ceased, everyone is playing for themselves now. No leadership, no direction.

i sure hope youre wrong.... But suspect youre not. Praying JV works out for us soon. Perhaps some time with JB telling him what he saw in him will make a difference
