Sean Maloughney: 10 Bold Predictions For The Oilers 2018/2019 Season - A Recap

Good job. On out of ten ain't bad. Not sure how you pull out a draw on #1 when you were just wrong. Just like the Oilers, try again next year.

It was just as original as yours was

Get. Nuge. A top-6. Winger. Or two.

Hello yes. You will give me one Jesse P for this half of a Canadian bacon pizza. Very nice deal for you yes ❤️

You hear his end of year? He was clearly frustrated and specifically mentioned having consistent linemates was something he missed. He also said something along the lines of "we've gotta fix this this year; not a year or two after". Sounds like Nuge is near the last straw.

Wow. Missing the boat wouldn’t do these predictions justice...

I still want to know what Oiler fans that thought we’d be better than the flames were seeing that I didn’t

I’ve been screaming about this for ages.
But we need a puck mover too. So so badly

I prioritize the scoring wingers. If we replace Russell with some even remotely capable of making tape-to-tape passes, then I'm not worried about the D.

As I have said in the past no Oiler has had to endure this poop for as long as Nuge has had to....while some (especially the idiots from Toronto) continue to babble on about McDavid (good for him for saying if he didn’t want to be here he wouldn’t have signed for 8 years) I just keep thinking how close is Nuge to snapping and at this point why does he bother resigning? Speaking of Toronto idiots I see some are now saying we need to trade Drai....the fun never stops

I couldn’t agree more....yes we need a RHD but not as bad as we need to improve our top 6.....I’m more confident in the blueline as is as opposed to our forward situation

I wouldn't outright refuse a reasonable trade to acquire a guy like Faulk (despite not being fan) but I get the feeling that defining 'reasonable' would be the sticking point. Better to spend those assets on forwards capable of lateral thinking.

If one comes along then of course but the Oilers need to get Nuge help or it’s going to be another long year

Pitcher or catcher ?

He’ll be gone by the draft. I got a feeling.

Yes, the major assets absolutely need to go towards top-6 upgrades before anything else.

(frank)ing Oilers need to pull the plug on Nicholson

This. He’s a (frank)ing cancer on this team. Really makes me wonder how much of the poop that Chia did was him pushing for it.

Nothing would surprise me at this point

I’m seriously starting to believe he is going to name Keith the new GM

Yeah who was the dumb (frank) that hired Chia to begin with and with no interview or anything of the sorts
