  1. if Lou passed on an opportunity to upgrade his team over a leak, he's the one that should be fired.
  2. plus deals are leaked constantly its so stupid. There's insiders leaking potential trades daily but no, OURS is the one where PA made some huge gaffe at the table.
  3. its still pretty bad. Only 12 skaters signed and now 15 mil in cap. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/oilers
  4. oh well, at least another team gets hit with recapture.
  5. not much you can do about Friedman or others speculating. Plus if thats why a deal got scuttled, Lou is a spaz and needs some counselling. I don't buy any of this for a second.
  6. yeah it feels a bit petty, like breaking up over your partner losing the keys a second time.
  7. ah yep, Petey 2.0 had 17 SHL games. Still, like the pick.
  8. on the surface this looks like a solid pick for the 3rd round - good size and shot already, and still 17. Lots of time to develop and grow and show up here at 21. This draft is all about the team needs 4 years out.
  9. true, that is right in theory but its really hard to make those kinds of moves. But MTL did do that last night. Remains to be seen if Dach was worth losing a good young d man.
  10. With two Elias Pettersson's we will take over the world. 

  11. this wasn't a great draft year for that 1st, maybe the plan is to wait it out for a 2023 pick which has a much deeper draft? we'll just have to agree to disagree on the walk for nothing part. If its a comparison between a meh return and getting the younger guys playoff time, I take playoff time. Of course JR wouldn't turn down an actual franchise helping move, but so far that hasn't happened and I don't think its because they're choosing to pass on it, it hasn't been presented.
  12. Myers for Necas would be a coup for us imo. If that was really on the table we take it and run, run like the wind. Run like you're being chased by a bear. Run like Alf to the scotch cabinet.
  13. what 'huge opportunity'? so far, thats not been a thing. maybe but futures are just that, maybe they don't pan out and then you're basically in the same situation as letting a guy walk for nothing. Unless we're getting a young roster player its just not worth it imo.
  14. things can change quickly of course, but so far we haven't' been offered that dream pick and prospect scenario. How do I know? it would have happened. JR is in no hurry, thats really the only leverage he has to get a reasonable deal signed with Miller. And it also happens to be the only way to get a big return.
  15. still salty from the Boeser extension So you'd be OK with a mediocre return, just for the sake of making a move?
  16. yup the hair on fire stuff is getting tiring. I'd be happy to see a real hockey trade involving Miller that improved our d group e.g. But if all we're getting offered so far is late 1sts and fringe prospects thats hardly a disaster to pass on. I also think teams need to experience the playoffs to grow. If thats what Miller does for Petey and Hughes I'm OK with it.
  17. why? what would we be losing? so far, nothing franchise altering. As Burkie says, you get the cap space. I also want Petey to get more playoff experience, he needs that if we're going to compete.
  18. JR is being rational and unemotional. And yes of course a player can walk, happens every year.
