  1. Well it is selfish. and it’s not a slur. This team accommodated him threw all of his career, through his injuries,. And was paid well. To go to another team now and possibly give clauses to that team that he would not give to this one. . Is selfish.. sorry if that offends you.
  2. All I’m saying Coastal is : Lets hypothetically say Edler signs a 6y 7m per in Buffalo.. Do you not think he knows he might want to get out and at least closer to home before that term., or at least be sure to have the opportunity to go to a contender? Like wise if he stayed, chances are again he would handcuff us and not allow us to use him as an asset, like he just did. it will all be interesting, but I beleive if he signs with some other team, the contract we see would possibly be similar to the one we would be offering, with trade movement allowed at some point. Regardless it’s all good for Alex, he gets to go shopping and make his decisions.
  3. The thing is, if Edler does land somewhere else... guaranteed he will waive or not have NTC’s or MC’s attached to his contract.. so why do it with us ? Selfish reasons.
  4. Must agree with this statement and add , I think we will probably see a bit of a resurgence of Edler with another club as he will have to prove his worth with new eyes on him. Edler did not have that pressure here, and resigning him would give us the same mediocre play that oozed of a player who is content in his own play at home close to family.. content.. with a contract that couldn’t move him into playing desperate to stay. Contentment does nothing to challenge an athlete, it’s a saftey blanket.. Good luck to Alex. he has had it pretty good here.
  5. I’m enjoying Greens approach to this time in our Teams development. The way he handled Bo last year will pay off dividends when he unleashes him offensively. last season to me, it seemed like Green was putting Bo against some of the best veterans in the league, not only to learn his 200’ checking strength, but to learn tendencies of the best. If he lets him fly, and looks to offset line change ups,to whomever is supposed to be paired against Bo this season,. Horvat will be in Beast mode. I truly hope Tryamkin come back and is handled by Green.. it will be exciting, the young man showed some special work in his rookie season of 60 games.
  6. Phaneuf got bought out by L.A. yesterday.,, Eriksson is next?
  7. Some one please correct me if I’m wrong,. But hasn’t Eriksson made around 20 million usd or more, most of it front loaded.? . thought I read somewhere that he is only actually paid 1m per year with what’s contractually remaining.. even though it effects our Cap by 5 or 6m per. So even though he effects our Cap this way,. Why would he sit on the pine in Utica for a million per.? Buy out.. opportunity to try elsewhere and be happy. TODAY= June 15 2019 is his buyout eligibility I beleive. https://www.capfriendly.com/buyout-calculator/loui-eriksson
  8. Alex Biegga plays better as a forward than LE .
  9. Not moving players out, or changing their roles has a lot to do with other players not progressing. Take the lame pp we had with the Sedins that Desjardins deployed. If you watched the KHL Avtomobilist games a little closer, you would see that most of the forwards disappeared.. then of course the likely occurrence a full force attack on their D.. I’m not into stats , analytics, to much .. as I watch game flow. Avto had no offence. If you want to pin forced errors on Tryamkin, and most were, given second or third hand errors, go ahead.. but the picture is bigger than that.. Tryamkins game suits the NHL with better quality team mates, not rotating in every second or third game in the KHL.. I do get that your cheering for this kid.. but I think perhaps your oversight is outweighing your pessimism with this kid.. no matter how much you feel your cheering for him. It’s like if you were his Coach, you would pre-dig a hole for him to climb out of just to prove that he came from some where.. where others would give him the level, common ground, and tools of opportunity to dig that hole himself,. Or build a mountain to climb upon to sit.
  10. You called Tryamkin a turn over machine playing in the KHL.. which is false, I compared Edlers and Tanev as the same in the NHL. which is true. New players come in, old players leave.. is that not how it works? Is attrition a concept? Is past prime a concept? Is injury prone a concept? Tanev and Edler should have been moved 2-3 years ago.. most posters unlike myself balked at trading Tanev for E Kane from Buffalo.. Tanev was going brittle then,. Kane needed to come home. Edler has held back physically since a lower back / thigh injury moons ago.. .. and his late “sort of decent” season play as a pending UFA was by design to stay and Re-sign at home for another 3 or more years and play mediocre. I won’t temper my my hopes for Tryamkin, I see him as a solid 2nd pairing D, easy support cast to any #1D man. You think that’s an expectation? You are well noted to see him as an underachiever who will struggle but hope he gets better.. you must have played or play goal Rob,. am I right? Goalies.. it’s a different game.. you don’t get out of “The Crease” much
  11. A player has to give a years notice ( 8-11 months?) to start it at his end. But a mutual agreement can happen anytime in the off season. thats what I have read.
  12. Won’t take Holland to realize that The Oilers have had no goaltending since Grant Fuhr.. If you want to survive in quicksand,. Grab onto somebody that will float. Goals For are simply Goals. Goals against are what kills you. Draisatl for Demko - straight.
  13. Alf, Jimmy is bang on, the best we could have heard after this past season is that Benning would hopefully be enthusiastic about wanting Tryamkin back here and to be having fluid conversation through his Agent. The interesting thing through this off season in the KHL is that Avtomobilist, NT’s Team is overhauling entirely.. to the point that right now they are over 10 or more of the maximum player allowance signed with the club and they are still signing.. they have also just acquired Pavel Datsyuk, who I am sure, even after a hometown discount, will probably consume aprx. 25% of the 900 million rubles (13.8m usd) Team Cap. If there was ever a season that Nik could be bought out by mutual agreement, it would be this one. Not only would Avtomobilist part with a player possibly leaving next season, they could offer a longer and lesser contract to another player.. and receive 75% of Tryamkins salary (aprx 728 k.usd) back in the buy out to Re-invest. food for thought. Interesting summer ahead,
  14. Did Edler or Tanev play any games last season in the NHL.? Edler and Tanev will be gone soon.. nothing to worry about. We obviously see the game and watch players differently Rob.. I would rather have the potential of rising prospect in Tryamkin, than the decrepit decline of 2 players that offer half seasons of employment.. 2 grenades with their pins pulled..
  15. Are you on something Jan? You only get 3 periods. Besides,. Edler will be the best move by attrition .. and Tanev is the invisible man, send him to Toronto for Zaitsev and a 2nd round pick.
  16. Damn,. Scratch Edler and replace with “The Ghost” Hughes Schenn Stetcher Tryamkin Joulevi Gostibere Biegga, Sautner, Brisboise
  17. Hughes Schenn Stetcher Tryamkin Juolevi Edler Biegga. Boeser Pettersen Lucic.
  18. The New skate jersey design is soft,. Even the pastel colours are soft. No edge, no edges. The original is more dramatic.. change the blue to a “stealth blue” or black in the original and you’ve got a great jersey. The Black and Gold is a great go to.. Nuke the Whales.
  19. This is great news. .... and a thought on the possibility of LE going to Edmonton for Lucic.. In Lucic we will have a man that will have EP’s back in the very least, which could amount to 15 - 20 more points for EP.. .. and Edmonton will be getting a human pylon in LE, for MacDavid to use as a “pick” to set himself up... possibly 15-20 more points for McDavid. I think that’s a fair trade.
  20. Not true . Edler is a veteran turn over machine. Tryamkin not so much. Tanev is a veteran straw man. Tryamkin not so much. ... it’s getting a bit “Trump like” around here again.
  21. Something I read the other day, both LE and ML have almost been paid out.. someone correct me please .. But of the “6m” Eriksson is on the Cap, he is only actually getting paid 1m.. same goes for Lucic in 2020/21.. So the Caps hits stay for both? maybe just better to buy LE out if possible? Let him go where ever the hell he wants.
  22. Swap em,. Lucic for Eriksson.. balance the money so that it’s a “hockey trade”.. I can’t stand the thought of watching Eriksson for another season in Vancouver.. actually , who am I kidding,. @Toni Zamboni should put his face on the side of a milk carton. im sue EP would rather have somebody watching his back than some one taking him to IKEA. for meatballs.
  23. The world is full of em Jan.
  24. Is that @Rob_Zepp? Debby Downers everywhere .. can I even say that anymore
