Enter my NY Islanders to right your ship for at least 1 game. Now there's a dumpster fire. I'd trade anyone not named Sorokin.

"What I do believe however, is that starting from the top with Daryl Katz, the Edmonton Oilers are terrified of letting a second generational player slip through their grasp in the last four decades"


In fairness...Messier did win FIVE Stanley Cups for the Oilers and was 31yrs old when he was traded...hardly slipped through their fingers.

Penguins were a two player team for a few years during the end of Shero and Bylsma. Bylsma was even playing them together on the same line in his last postseason series against NYR in 2014. Letang is way underrated for how good he was. Far better than any dman in EDM. His injuries derailed his career accomplishments. If he remained healthy, he would have easily won the 2013 Norris and at least been a top 3 contender in 2016. Alas, he's played a single full season in his career (2011, same season Malkin and Crosby were both injured the entire year lol).

Letang is a beast! He trains in the same gym sometimes during the summers and he is all out all the time! I've not seen many guys work as hard as him! One of the best Dmen to ever play in the NHL in my books.

If you go back over their careers of Crosby, Malkin, and Letang, the Penguins win% dropped the most when isolated on games of Letang being out versus the other two. I actually think no Letang was a larger win% decrease than both Malkin and Crosby being out. And all of them were injury prone.

Ever since Sather left town, Edm has been the place where Managers make really dumb decisions because of media and fan pressure.

Right now, media and fan, "dumbness" pressure is very high

I blame Woody! Crazy Holland didn’t identify that after the playoffs. Oilers will slowly rise up the ranks, it’s not too late.
