Big opportunity here to leave the West Coast with 0 points and get one step closer to a top 5 pick.

He needs to do better than Trocheck
- Powerslave

Yes he does. I honestly don’t think Trocheck was much of an upgrade from Haula in general. He is not the same player he used to be.

Big warning signs with him, for sure. Not a guy I'd want to overpay for, when you aren't really contending.

If Eichel demands a trade at the TDL next year, it honestly might not be the worst thing for this franchise. Get a monster return and build around Dahlin, because this current sh!t ain't working and if it doesn't next year, blow it to smithereens.

That's a summer trade ... big Joe 2.o trade coming

Honestly they will just disappoint us at the lottery 2 times we have the 5th spot and both ended us at 7th and 8th I believe or maybe it was 8th and 8th

(frank) 5th get 4th

I’m completely aware. That’s why I hope they get the 5 hole so we are virtually guaranteed to pick 7th

Can't say I disagree

Who's mad?

My post said I'd be laughing and I said our GM is a moron.

Oh my god, you're that guy who cuts in line at McDonald's and then asks the kid behind him why he's crying, aren't you?

Post less.

This is how I see the top draft. 9 players who are blue chip.

I don't know why but I still think RNH gets traded.

Trade Risto & Mitts and a pick to EDM for RNH
sign Hall 6x8
Try to get anyone to take on Okposo's contract even if it costs you dearly.
- hehateme

Idk why they’d trade RNH now?
They finally have 2 good lines going,
they aren’t gonna wanna break that up

And the defense is coming together for them
Lots of young talent on the backend


Also... Hall is probably costing 10mil per

However get one of those 9 and it’s a great day.

A proven 50 goal scorer is someone that has done it multiple times.

Same for anyone that has scored 20, 30, or 40. If you only do it once you have the potential to do it again. Prove you can do it again and again. That’s what makes you a proven anything.

Skinner is a proven 30 goal scorer as he’s done it 4 times with a 40 goal season in there.
- dadeadhead

Wrong.
Having done it is proof.
Projected to be shows you have potential.

Plus Askarov (G)

We can only hope someone takes him ahead of us.

Depending where we pick,
I wouldn’t be mad about taking him

Not my first choice,
but Askarov & UPL could make one hell of a tandem

If Jack demands a trade, would you expect Botts to get a “monster” return for him? Honestly? I would not.

Can't say I disagree
- Michael Ghofrani

With UPL coming up in a couple more years, Cozens looking to be the real deal, Pilut, Joker, Dahlin...

We need players right now, as far as the make-up and success of this team is concerned. We can't wait on draft picks to develop anymore, Olofsson took SIX GOD DAMN YEARS to develop and Mittelstadt, Thompson look to be either busts or going down similar paths.

If we finish anywhere past 10th next year, and don't at least finish only a few points out of the playoffs, you have to consider trading him if he wants out.

We can't wait on players to develop through the draft anymore. We need to make a couple of big trades or FA signings.

Thanks for the apology, reading your posts is pure torture. Every post is a new nightmare.

- PrinceChill

Yes.

If not, he stays and wollows in disparity not being able to captain a team to even 8th place.

Part of the blame is on him, too, I don't care how much he scores, he is lackadaisical on defense to say the least.

You must be a liberal. You seem to hate freedom of speech.

100% on bolded. Draft picks won't do anything to help salvage the current timeline. A full rebuild is scrapping the current timeline and no matter how you slice it, by the time you are built back to being a legit contender*, you're seeing a version of Eichel that's no longer the best version of him and it would be awfully difficult to properly tank with him in the lineup.

*=legit cup contender, not some pretend parity nonsense.

Should have happened when they first brought the challenge in imo.

Sure straight up but we don't need to add.

Are you saying you think Ristolainen by himself gets RNH from the Oilers? Is that satire?
