I don't think that's nearly enough, I mean the guy is just a shade under a ppg average for his career, the Oilers will want a boatload in return.

You called?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Why are media/fans downplaying how fucking hard it is to score goals in the NHL? Where the hell did this come from?

You want us to discuss your mental illness openly and right in front of you? That's very brave

lol - Pretty much, but I think McLellan is the clubhouse leader for the Oilers coaching job.

Um, pretty sure a goalie from Finland is not the answer.

Let's go to the way back machine, shall we?

This is so weird, Edmonton actually in contention for something.

The thing is, McDavid is going to help just by pushing guys down a line (I mean whether you keep RNH as your 1st line centre or push him down to the 2nd line moves Draisaitl down to the 3rd line, which is probably where he should have been all along). Just that alone makes the Oilers a better team.

/Still have defense and goalie issues to resolve, though.

That would be quite the thing if Cassels makes the Canucks next season and lines up against McDavid.

I have a feeling Draisaitl is going to wind up being a Jordan Staal-esque player, someone teams think will be capable of being a second liner and giving the Oil a bounty for. Until then, he'll probably make a pretty decent third line C.

Is there a draft lottery for coaches?
