steviewonder20 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hard to believe, but team1040 was pretty positive about what JB has done and see the team as playoff-bound. Only complaint is losing a first round pick for Miller when Tampa was in cap trouble. Overall, surprisingly positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkSave Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 53 minutes ago, ItTakesAnArmy said: Pettersson is not McDavid, Boeser is Not Draistl, the only real difference between the teams was goaltending, Markstrom had his best ever season and stole at least 8 games and probably 12 points all by himself, the Oilers lost 10 to 12 points through bad goal tending. That is the game but both teams missed the playoffs Gaudrea is not McDavid, Monahan is not Draisaitl. Yet Clagary has 2 great core players up front to go along with a strongly built team. They won the West and will be a thorn in the side of their provincial rivals for years when it comes to battling for a playoff spot. The same can be said about the Canucks with Petey and Boeser and what GMJB has done this offseason. *A team is comprised of more than 2 players, no matter how elite. The last few seasons in Edmonton have been about what it should be, when you consider what their supporting cast is and has been around McDavid and Draisaitl. Thankfully we have been able to add to our supporting cast this summer (forwards specifically) with the likes of Miller and now Ferland. We will be a more well rounded and talented team in 19-20. **The Oilers goaltending has been atrocious and they are cap crunched. Hence the Mike Smith hail mary 1 yr. contract...Mikko Koskinen making 4.5 per for 3 more years is absolutely laughable based on the fact he was awarded the contract for such a small NHL sample size (thanks chia) Overall, I much prefer where we are at with our roster in comparison to the Oilers. And it seems some more moves will be forthcoming for us before the puck drops in the fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhdlois Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Ferland will be on SN 650 shortly....don’t think it’s a repeat, however, I was out earlier and may have missed it.

Canucks Curse Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Miller Petey Boeser Ferland Bo Pearson Roussel Sutter Virtanen Beagle Gaudette Leivo when Roussel is healthy- that lineup would be very tough to play against, I still think to be a sure fire playoff team we need another top offensive player, but this team is superior to last years on paper for sure I think JB has done a tremendous job given the cap issues notice how LE and Beartschi are not on this list... very surprised we got Ferland, especially at this cap hit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep forward group, for sure, especially if some of the young guys who have already made an impact take another step, which is completely possible for guys like EP, Boeser, Virtanen and Gaudette. Defense still really depends on the health of Edler and Tanev. And then of course, the most important aspect: goaltending; Markstrom will have to play like he did in the 2nd half of this past season. It's really his only "great" body of work at the NHL level, so I'm not sure if it's enough of a sample size to bank on. We'll see. Luck permitting (and we're due), wouldn't be surprised if we get in.

Popular Post Podz92 Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 Very impressed that Ferland signed at that low cap hit especially with the modified no trade starting after the 2nd year and agreeing to be exposed in the expansion draft. Maybe he plans on playing so damn good that Vancouver won't want to expose him?!? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better schedule and the insulation that Meyers, Hughes and Benn will hopefully keep Eddie and Tanev healthier. Even if that doesn't happen, we have a blueline where we don't have to play a bottom pairing defenseman 30 minutes a night when they're both out. We shall see anyways. But looking at the roster now, this team should make it imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
