Comedy gold out of Edmonton

[dash]

Speculation is rampant that the Oilers are looking to make a big quantity for quality trade which would mean that they need to keep as many contracts open as possible.

 

[puckhead]

So instead of picking him off waivers, they decide to trade for Roy instead.

Makes sense.

Wait, they traded Arcobello for fresh-off-waivers Roy?
Arcobello is half price, 5 years younger, and already a better player than Roy.

I'm not sure you understand the concept of tanking my friend. I think the Oilers know something about it.


SERIOUSLY THOUGH, THIS IS FUCKING PATHETIC. MCDAVID PLAYING FOR THIS CIRCUS IS UNCONSCIONABLE.

Cool!!

Greening (big and fast!!), Smith (Rugged!!), Neil (experienced AND rugged!!!!), Phillips (allll experience) and a 2nd (the future will be bright in EDM) for Taylor Hall.

Boldness personified!!

Would you please start showing a little respect and call him The McDavid please?

He's been increasingly critical of the Oil of late and Lowe has a gestapo like control of the media in Edmonton.

Still, throwing out a reporter from the company that owns not only your league's national rights (for a ridiculous sum) but also your local TV rights, too? Here's hoping he begins a daily column on Kevin Lowe's skidmarks.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Might as well trade Gazdic for Engelland well they're at it.

I would be open to a straight Phaneuf-for-Engelland swap. I'm sure Burke would, too...

I'm hearing Leon Draisaitl's junior rights have been traded from Prince Albert to Kelowna. Up to parties to announce it.#oilers.

Look for Draisaitl to join the Rockets prior to playing his 40th game with the Oil.

Don't worry, Origizona Gee-yets, or Warshytedung Carpy-dolls/Nude Yuck deRangers ( depending which one doesn't make the p-offs) are going to win the lottery this time around. Kind of leaves you wondering how that sweet young Ivy Leaguer is going to like playing for Kitty-Katz 'way up there. Kinda leaves me a-wondering if the Edmounting sOilers don't get C. McDoodie with the second pick, and then offer the once again sadly disappointed Snatchville Pre-daters, Petry, Nugent-Hopkins, Schultz, Eberle and a swap of first rounders (2016), for Jossi, Weber, and Anyjuan Else.

Sounds like the trading of Leon's rights from PA to Kelowna is a done deal.

Why? He hasn't done a damn thing for my leprosy.

So glad they kept him for those extra few days so he had to miss his last chance at the wjhc
Fucking idiots

What about just The McDLT then?

Draisaitl was a healthy scratch last night as they didn't want to risk injury as the PA Raiders work out a trade for Leon.

Draisaitl returning to WHL, but where?

 

[dash]

Official now...

Oilers assign third-overall pick Draisaitl to CHL - Article - TSN

Eakins doing some scouting for the Oilers?

Eakins doing some scouting for the Oilers?

Just a stop-gap until he's named the next GM. At which point he will fire the coach and step behind the bench himself.

And so goes the circle of coil.

Ryan Rishaug @TSNRyanRishaug
For those asking, Dallas Eakins was at Canucks game, but not scouting or working in any way for Oil. Was just there watching.

So, not much different from when he was coaching, then.

Eakin' out a-livin'.
