Dude if you have something please share we all care more about his health then meaningless hockey

I'd love too but I shared what I'm willing too at this point. And I agree 100%

Stay in college be the USA goaltender for the Olympics

The NHL once again screws the Buffalo Sabres

I'd be just fine if Cal stays in school another year...
as long as we sign him eventually

also fun site. I just over lapped my boy Mackinnon to Eich

https://public.tableau.co...ZB2G3WP?:display_count=no

Very very similar players
- DDM-Coga

Great site and very valuable information there.

Add Connor McDavid to that group.

Eichel literally checks off all the boxes.

He's even better then many of us thought he was going to be.

I respect you coge but they are nothing alike maybe just fast
- GERBE!!!75PTS

I think eich is a better talent than Mack but it was nice to see how the over lay was very similar in areas. Mack Had some advantages, eich had more

MacKinnon played with Rene Bourque, Tanguay, Iginla over the years. Just garbage old players. Im excited that he finally is getting some youth and speed as wingers now.

The line of Rantanan and Andrighetto since the deadline has been mind blowing for me.

Just say prayers folks that's all I'll say....

If the greatest risk is that he'll be fine long term for his life but won't be able to play hockey, that's OK.

If his overall life is at risk, that is awful.

I sure hope that is not the case.

The only reason he would go back is to be the USA goaltender

He can just be a free agent this year if he does not sign with us

Agree. If you have something to say, say it if not, don't say anything. We could literally sit here and go through all the neurological diseases would you say "yes" when we got it right?

It will be truly sad but family first is the correct answer

If that happens he will have a spot in our organization for sure

He may not be able to say due to HIPAA, which is why he can only say that he knows without sharing what is actually going on.

Agreed, I'm done responding...

I dont think the Oilers are even close to Cup contending status, but he really did carry that team into the playoffs this year.

I dont like the oilers depth at all. Their 2nd and 3rd lines are hot garbage
- DDM-Coga

I expect they'll lose first round
SJ should whip them
Calgary has the depth & defense to win as long as their goaltending holds up

I have disagree.. when you have a player like McDavid you can't count them out

I get your concern,
But we are an attractive place for him

We are an up & coming team
He's got a chance to at least split starts in AHL right away
And Lehner is not an established #1, so Cal could see himself as our "franchise" goalie of the future

I dont think they lose to the Sharks. If they dont have Thornton and couture available for the playoffs. I think they dont have a chance in a 7 game series

I do see the Oilers or Flames coming out of their bracket but they wont get bast the teams in the Central bracket. Especially the Hawks. No one is touching that team right now

- kingcong39

Yeah, but he was also saying what it wasn't. Which can't be legal. And I doubt he found out legally either.

I have disagree.. when you have a player like McDavid you can't count them out
- GERBE!!!75PTS

I'm not counting them completely out...
but San Jose & Calgary have much better depth

I'd be willing to bet u the Oilers lose 1st round
It's not 100%
But I'm pretty darn confident

Not now that we have a player out with "Asian" Bird Flu.

If Joe & Couture are out, that makes things interesting
But I'd still pick the Sharks with confidence
Much better defense, still probably a better 2nd & 3rd line, better goalie
Plus experience counts imo
McDavid will have to really give off for them to win

Thanks.

It'd be too soon if he actually had bird flu.


99% we find out what it is fairly soon.
