Yes he did. For the last 30 or so games plus playoffs of their last year in junior, they played together for quite a few games, if not all the time. Baptiste got traded at the OHL deadline from Sudbury to the Erie Otters.

Watching this Oilers team, it is quite amazing to see McDavid and Draisatl play together. They are today's Gretzky and Kurri. I don't know if we have Jack's equivalent - yet. Maybe Nylander. I don't think Rhino can keep up to Jack. If I remember correctly, Rhino seemed to play really well on ROR's right side.

Thanks! I thought they'd played together
If Baptiste can play with McDavid,
then he can probably keep up with Jack too
Maybe not this year, but next year I'd like to see
Nylander-Eichel-Baptiste

I'd like to see Sam at 3C where he can be more of a playmaker
I think it's hard for him to do that on the wing
Something like Kane-Reinhart-Bailey could be a great 3rd line

He built or was in the process of building a pretty flawed roster. For that reason, his firing was not completely unjustified. I do believe that this team's flaws can be fixed without a major overhaul, however, and I do believe Murray was capable of pulling that off. That being said, I am just as confident there are multiple other people that can do it as well.

This sums it up great
I'd have been ok if Murray came back
And I didn't think he needed to be fired, but I am ok with it

We get our defense fixed & we're a playoff team

If Murray was still here there was a 75% chance they traded the pick this year.

That makes sense
He needed to fix the defense asap

That pick still might get moved by the new GM though

Anaheim just won't go away.

I'm sure that's still on the table but I can't confirm because it's all very quite for now. My uncle's friend needs a break he said, it's been very stressful he said.

Indeed that would be a great 3rd line. However, do you see Nylander (or Baptiste for that matter) making Buffalo next year? Nylander didn't have a great year in Rochester. I think Baptiste makes it ahead of Nylander. Assuming Oko comes back, he is with ROR. Who is the other winger based on the above?

Next year, probably not to start
I think we could swing a deal with NyR to get Nash
(if he'll waive to come here)

Nash-Eichel- idk, Ennis?
Foligno-O'Reilly-Okposo
Kane-Reinhart-Bailey

In 2 years, replace Nash & Ennis with Nylander & Baptiste
I think they'll both see time up here this year
Baptiste might even make the team to start out
He & Bailey are neck & neck imo

Sheeiitt. I was so looking forward to going to bed without OT

Hey at least the Zamboni driver doesn't have to come back out again. They didn't play long enough to sully the ice.
