Oilers fans are among the dumbest.

He has played 4 nhl games and 2 ahl games this season, not sure that warrants a 2 year extension, should be a 3 year extension, because Benning.
- Reubenkincade

He has played 93 NHL games 5 G 28 pts. Not bad for a bottom pair guy
- VANTEL

Spaced out over 4 seasons, at 28 years old, more like a 7/8 defenseman.

Btw, I like Fatburger, as well, reliable and helps at both ends, just not a regular.

Playing with Lucic and Frolik would kill anyones mojo.

Lucic and Frolik have more goals combined this week than the entire canucks ....

I had no complaints with him last year ...thought it was a very good move to bring him in by JB

I wouldn't mind a two year deal x 1.5. If he turns out to be a bust bury him in AHL and it cost you 400 K. If he is reliable then you get a smart cheap signing

Carolina is a well coached, structured team that also started their rebuild years before Van did.

They also won a draft lotto spot and got a very good player. Something that is likely to never ever happen to Vancouver.
- manvanfan

They also have an analytics guy who's job is sort of all-encompassing. From player evaluation to on-ice strategy, the VP of Strategy plots the course and everything is built around it.

Looks weird from the outside sometimes, but it seems to be working.

I think VAN is trailing behind in that capacity.

Still need to upgrade the D somehow, not by the UFA market.

Draft and develop.

I think Rafferty is close ( TDL ) and OJ after. It will take a couple of years before they become very good but they will be introduced to NHL play. Much like Bieksa did.

Yup, i agree. TDL will be a long shot especially if you want someone in their 20's.

Rafferty is one year younger than Stecher. He also is a better Dman .

I know lol just wasn’t the most opportune time to rip on a couple players

Why does Brock get a pass on his mediocre play and still get 20 minutes a game?
All 3 guys on the 3rd line have outplayed him and deserve more than the 12-13 minutes they are getting, maybe coach Green should start giving those guys a shift or 2 each with Elias while Brock observes from the bench.

- Reubenkincade

Brock got swapped with Jake for a couple shifts towards the end of the game

I like Fantenberg . He has been steady. Would you give him a Benn type extension for two years? Call it Edler insurance.
- VANTEL

Too much money for having shown not much yet. He could play a Biega-type role, but the left side will be jammed next year.

Edler
Hughes
Tryamkin
Benn
(Fantenberg)
Juolevi

It would be nice to have more talented forwards to move up than Jake.

- Redmile247

They are a unique breed to be sure lol. Flames fans are more like Oilers fans than they think it's just funny to hear them chop each other teams down when they are basically the same fans lol

Pretty soft schedule for the Flames the past 7 games too. Played two playoff teams out of the past 7 games?

- manvanfan

Yeah, honestly it'd be nice to have 12 1st line forwards

Markstrom stole the game, good for him.

Myers needs to pick up his skating ffs.
- VanHockeyGuy

Great game for Marky.

#teamwhiner back to shambles lol

Brock still played almost 20 minutes, has hasn't deserved that icetime.
