The Oilers are closer then most think, the media is what's killing them.
- SABRES 89

The oilers are not close. They got no wingers to play with McD, Dra or RNH. The defense is suspect and Koskinen in goal. Umm yeah....

Were talking about chewing gum.

I hope you are right.

Me thinks we are drafting our long term 2C in the draft this year. Turcotte/Dach/Cozens/Zegras. Take your pick.

They need a short term #2 center then

I hope you are right.

Less than two weeks ago you had Mittlestat slotted in that position ...

Mittelstadt would make a great 2C once he’s fully developed. I think if we snag one of the aforementioned Centres we have a 1-2-3 combo a lot of teams would envy. Whether Mitts ends up the 2C/3C in that scenario I’m not going to lose sleep over. The real question is who is the Vet that we can bring in to bridge the gap between Mitts becoming that player while waiting for our first rounder this year to develop.

Skinner did say

"There's still things that we can build on and can improve on as players, but I think the organization is headed in a good direction."

I dont pay a whole lot of attention to prospects. Anyone have any idea if those guys could step right in to the NHL? Or would we just have 2 kid centers crapping their pants lining up for faceoffs against Malkin?

So send them to Lockport? I agree with your stance on this...even though some may consider it cruel and unusual punishment

Turcotte reminds me of Barkov
Zegras reminds me of Barzal
Dach reminds me of Getzlaf
Cozens reminds me of Jeff Carter

These are stylistic comparisons, doesn’t mean these players can play the 200ft game or be as good as any of the players on this list. Just who they remind me of playing in their respective junior leagues.

Edit: None of those players should be rushed, assess after year one of college (Turcotte/Zegras) or after another year in the WHL (Dach/Cozens).

He's already on his way to Toronto, then to Buffalo. Rob Lacoss (? Don't know who he is) took a picture of Todd about an hour ago sitting at the airport.
