Can’t even begin to guess what that would cost us.

Mika would never waive his NMC to go to Edmonton which would essentially be a necessity. Worst case Trocheck would have to go.

Trocheck, Chytil, Kakko, Schneider, Miller, Othmann, Sykora and how many 1sts?

Crazy but I’d do it.

Id rather target Draisaitl.

Maybe the problem is Mika and CK20 and not the winger they play with.
- Brukie

Ive said it for like a year now that I thought that line might be better off without Kreider on it.

Put Cuylle, Mika, Kakko up there and see what happens.

MAYBE do the unthinkable and take this new LAF away from Panarin and put him with Mika and Kakko.

Tale of 3 games within one contest. Great 1st period. God awful 2nd period. Low event, shutdown 3rd period.

Happy for Wheeler getting on the board. Laviolette should get all of credit for Laf. Amazing what a bit of coaching can do. Louis Domigue made me look stupid. Good us and good for him.

Or MAYBE, leave the roster of a 10-2-1, 4th place overall in the league, team alone.
Why is that the only fucking idea we never consider?????

Chytil, miller, goodrow, kakko, prospects, many first round picks

I could see the oilers trading Draisaitl not McDavid. But I’m surprised they haven’t fired their coach yet

The answer to first line 5 on 5 problems is Elias Lindholm. I'm going to continue to manifest that.

No his fault Ken Holland gave him beer leaguers for goalies. Worst save percentage in the NHL.

Because 10-2-1 isnt as good as 11-1-1

Good to see Bakersfield defends like Edmonton, Can't really blame him on the first two.

Wow looks like the Oilers AHL team plays defense like their NHL team..

I definitely can't fault him on the 2nd one. But, the 1st happened because he served up the rebound right into the nice juicy area to the side of his positioning.
The really bad 3rd one will stay with him for a while, but honestly, I think he's just the victim of a horrible bounce. It rolled up to him and them jumped right over his stick, a la Patrik Stefan.

On a breakaway. He made the first save. Help him. The 3rd is awful. Legit terrible.

Because this is a discussion board, and we are here to discuss. Im incredibly happy with how well we have started the season, I have no issue with leaving things as is. However, we are trying to discuss and come up with a solution on how we can get better 5v5, how we can get more out of Kreider and Mika at 5v5, what we can do to get some production from a line at 5v5 not named Panarin, Trocheck, LAF.

In the 10 games without Fox, I was hoping this team would get 10 points. After 3, they already have 5. I'll take that.

Kinda agree. Panarin and Laf are going good. Leave the 3rd guy on that alone until it cools off.
\When Chytil gets back go..

Long term, 17's spot has be upgraded. No offense to Wheeler, he's been better lately.

- blacksheep1

i mean mika should be able to drive play on his own w/ CK - he's that good. granted he's getting the tough match up but still, its been an awful start for him.

and they're 10-2-1 - i firmly believe he'll come out of it

Wouldnt work Cap wise.
- Brukie

I have to agree. Not unless Mika came off the books.

You're not wrong. But for what everr reason it's not working. They obviously need somebody better than Wheeler or Kakko.

UPDATE: Louis Domingue, Dylan Garand and Connor Mackey have been assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack.

Drury learning to create a little extra cap space? Do I have to start praising him now too?
