I haven’t seen Republicans this upset since they made it illegal to marry your first cousin.

(Not towards the end of careers after the Cups - but the roles they played and their level of play at the time)

Kane
Toews
Sharp
Hossa
Versteeg
Saad
Bolland
Ladd
Madden
Keith
Seabrook
Campbell
Big Buff
Hjalmarsaon
Crawford
Bickell and Oduya...

McJesus
Drais
RNH


Almost identical roster talent and depth! Basically a mirror image.

Hossa's and Keith's contracts aren't legal today.

Seabrook played badly under paid during the cup years.

Kane and Toews played on bridge deals you just don't see anymore. Chicago didn't win a cup during their 8 year deals.

Kane went on LTIR which allowed Stan to get Antoine Vermette in 2013.

Good luck guys.

Don’t forget about race fluidity. Larry Holmes was the 1st decades ago when he said to a white reporter:


“ It’s hard being black. You ever been black? I was once-when I was poor.”

Most likely a big fan of biological males competing in Womens Olympic boxing.

First, I’m a Conservative. My parents weren’t siblings though - so just not far right like yourself…this also explains why Lordy loves his facey emojis he does…smiley makes Lordy laughy…and the ridiculous space between each of your eyes.

Second, I told you Lord VonRikens - I can’t do this with you. I honestly felt horrible as a human when I got PM (with proof) showing me that my rather mean chirps of you were right (short stubby divorced closeted, etc.).

Enjoy your bizarre obsession with US politics, overcompensating each chance you get, and obviously the emojis and gif (Lordy lovey).

Don’t forget to wipe the mud from yer boots at the door. Go Elks Go!

I don’t get what Bowman is supposed to do this season. Like does he have options now with the signings and yet to be signed RFA’s being over the cap?

There are questions on the window going past this season as well. Will take some doing to pull off strategic moves. Like the blogger alluded this isn’t Bowman’s track record pull off well.

Wow clown great contribution. Another Flames fan to pop in to deflect all your teams shortcomings on to the Oilers. You club has been an absolute joke dude since 2005 with one of THE worst drafting an PO records in Hockey. A joke much like yourself there lil' fella
- LordHumungous


You’re calling the flames a joke ? Lol that proves how stupid you really are , how many 1st picks and top 10 picks has your team pissed away ? Your the fan who throws out your jersey them dumpster dives when they finally after being gifted 1st picks have a run you are a coward and loser

From Chicago it has felt as though Holland was too passive and was not all in trying to win the Cup each year. It looked like the Oilers needed more depth scoring and a solid defenseman at the deadline to round out the team for a run and I think they would have beaten Florida if the deadline deals had been more significant than Henrique and Stetcher. Bowman won't be as timid. He is bold and is not afraid of making big moves.

There will probably be one or two Cups in Edmonton in the next few seasons. Bowman won't get any credit. The team will then bottom out. He will get fired. There will be a 10 year debate about how he is overrated.

The GM is an employee and has to answer to the owner.


Edmonton's owner won't live forever. He wants a Cup now. With this roster, the best chance for a Cup is a GM who is willing to go for it.

Edmonton is up against the cap already, with RFA's still to sign. Chia left Holland in the same boat when he took over. Hollands issue wasn't that he wasn't aggressive in moves, just that he was only about 50/50 in whether they had positive or negative impacts. The Ekholm trade and Hyman signing were brilliant, but the Nurse contract and the Campbell signing (and buyout) were brutal. I have no idea how Bowman can improve the depth on the team, unless by some miracle he can move Nurse without retention, but I'll be happy to praise his GM skills if he can do that.

Agree. Holland was better in EDM than I expected. But he was still average at best. Jackson was excellent this offseason though. Maybe Bowman only has to be average and Bowman will still win a SC.

Liberalism is a mental illness. Angry, self-loathing, jealous people that claim to care for people and causes when they have absolutely zero empathy toward others. Liberals don't tip, they don't give significantly to charity, they don't volunteer their time, they criticize others' success at every turn, hell...they don't even return their shopping cart! lol

Just bad people that live behind a social justice mask in public, when we all know how they actually think and act in private.

We all know...we see you.

The confidence in here that the Oil win Cups now is amazing. Yet still don’t get what the thinking is about what Bowmen can do for it to happen. Is trading Draisatle on the menu?
