It's a combo of things, but personally I am not a Housley fan.

Issues by priority:

1) Depth Scoring
2) Consistency
3) PP
4) Coaching

It's not top of the list. Even if we start really pooping the bed, I would leave Housley for the year and revisit in the offseason. The PP, for example, shows a certain level of incompetence on their part. We went from great to mediocre fast.

Very accurate !!

Well that was treasonous and a disgrace to this country.... my grand dad didn't kick the Nazi's ass for us to watch that...

The Oilers appear to be very close to making another bold move -- something which hasn't always gone well under Peter Chiarelli.

Screw it RNH and Puljujvari for Risto and Nylander

This team was never great, even during the 10 game win streak. We just got lucky that's all.

Jesus Christ trading Risto again, this needs to stop.

Did you watch last nights game?

Something major needs to be done

Risto is the biggest tradable asset they have other than Reinhart and the picks.

They aren't going to get a player that can contribute by moving Scandella and Okposo (they need to go but let's face it they're stuck with them)

That gamelast night was a mess, I know I over reacted. I was pissed off, for that I applogize to everybody.


I’m just SO over losing....I been watching this team since the start and I just don’t see it changing anytime soon very, very frustrated and frustrating to watch for the umpteenth time.

As someone posted before there is a chance some of us won’t be around when/if they ever turn it around... time is not a luxury for all, taking 5-10 years is too damn long.

Peace.

So trade the best D man for what ? make the defense even weaker ? they aren't moving him.

Knowing how dumb Chiarelli is... he will probably trade Draistail for help next to McDavid.

Shhhh... you're making too much sense. People are not allowed to do that here.

Tell me about it.

so that means that the wins don't count right... So in that case we are again still a 62 point last place team.

Something needs to change with this team and if that is trading Risto or Sam or Nylander I say go for it..

Do you really want RNH? Sam outskated him to an open puck last night, that would have been a breakaway.

He's not but okay

I like Risto but he is nothing more than a great 2nd pairing guy

Trading Risto does nothing, trades just to make trades to shake things up does nothing, that's bad management and the GM getting nervous.

He's the best D man on this team hands down, and yea that includes Dahlin.

I mean I would prefer Draisatail but they can't afford him (cap space wise)

But RNH as your second line center yeah I would want him

That's a Chiarelli move honestly....

Sorry but you're wrong and besides the basic statistics the advance stats prove it as well and I am not an advanced stats guy.

Apologize for what ? you don't have to.

Just really sick of losing, and as someone point out getting bitter about it, in the grand scheme of things i guess it just shouldn’t matter.

Botterill doesn't get nervous, we have to stay the course for this year no matter if the fans like it or not. Have to re evaluate the talent both here and in the AHL. I can't stand the patience crap any longer but that's what will happen for now barring a " super trade" that makes sense.
