JM_ Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 tough week coming up for us.... 3 road games with teams that want to take our wildcard spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Coilers, with 3 games in hand on most, could see the biggest rise in the standings. Pleasantly surprised to see the Blues doing so well. Not surprised to see the Pens out of gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love seeing the Alberta teams (and the Leafs) lose. if the losing continues in Oilerville, what’s going to happen? Trade? Fire coach (again)? Do they need better dmen? A better goalie? A defensive winger/ Center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Balboa Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 It warms my heart to see Edmonton struggle. Can you imagine if WE had Mcdavid and had Edmontons record this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danaimo Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 How much is anyone prepared to bet that at the end of the game between Oilers and Red Wings, the Oilers players decide to have a "players only" meeting. Sooo predictable. Gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over $60m committed to 13 players leaving them $14m to spend on the remaining 10 players. That is going to be a seriously imbalanced team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oilers ruined their team years back giving Eberle, Hall, and RNH those big money contracts too soon. Did they just repeat history with the McDavid and Draisatl contracts?

Honestly, no I don't think so. McDavid and Draisatl are much better players than Eberle, Hall or RNH. I think McJesus and Draisatl are not the problem. It's giving big contracts to Lucic, Sekera and Russell that is going to bite them hard. They have 4 Dmen earning over $4m, the Canucks only have 2 earning more than $4m. Are their Dmen really THAT much better? 14 mins for the wonderboy eh. Be interesting to see how he responds to that. By bet is that he whines and throws his teddy bear out of the crib.

Same, but it makes me sick to my stomach to think if the Coilers continue to tank this year, they might have a shot at Rasmus Dahlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they would end up paying three players 30 million? Their Cap is all out of whack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, but 3 years of Dahlin on an entry level contract might be enough to get the Coilers another cup unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oilers best chance to make a run for the Cup will be this year. When the McDavid contract kicks after this season, they will have to sign a bunch of AHL players on NHL minimum contracts to get under the salary cap. Its this year or never. Which makes their terrible start even funnier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
