Is it just me or does Petey look really uninspired?

I like the combo of Miller and Pod. Looks like a good match.

I get what you’re saying, but that’s not a nice 3rd line. That’s a bottom feeder 3rd line.

Yeah, I’m rattled. Why wouldn’t you just give the guy a legitimate shot and ride it out? If they’re making this trade because of the bag skate, I would consider that pretty childish. What he showed in camp told me he deserves to be here more that Schenn and Hunt. There was space. Oh well.

My favourite part was when Podkolzin essentially teabagged Smith, who proceeded to act like he took an uppercut from Mike Tyson.

Mcdavid is such a rat. Why does he get away with everything? He’s uber talented but damn is he ever hard to like.

Generally, I agree with most of the decisions that management makes. But I can’t help feeling irritated about losing Gadjovich. How is it that these fringe guys that have been with the team for an offseason get a spot over a guy that we drafted and developed? Have any of the guys still battling for spots really shown so much that we’re willing to lose a player for nothing? I understand that this doesn’t really move the needle much, but its still a head scratcher.

Most definitely a glass half empty kinda guy

I really do hope so, Alf. Because they’ll be crucified on these boards if they don’t show up ready to go hahaha

Regardless of what their contracts end up looking like, these guys better show up ready to play. Would be extremely disappointing to have a similar start to last year.

For some reason I’ve always hated this guy. Without a doubt my least favorite signing of the offseason

Your obsession with Dahlen is so obnoxious. It’s easily one of the most annoying things to see on this board.

You’re dreaming if you think we’re getting them signed at those prices lol

And here I was thinking that this fanbase already hit peak paranoia. Guess I should have known better.

I don’t disagree that all those you named are winners, but it’s not always the a-holes that win. To claim that only the hard asses are winners is just wrong. It’s not factual lol.

Please show us these facts lmaoooo

I’d have to disagree with your take on Boeser. Sure he doesn’t throw the body but he’s no slouch physically. He battles on the boards. He’s also an underrated playmaker. To say he’s just a pure shooter is a bit disingenuous.

It’s very naive to think no one would claim OJ. Someone would take him without a doubt.

It’s pretty clear that you haven’t watched either of these players if you think Ritchie will be better than Hyman.

Still odd to discuss trading a brand new signing. Unless of course you’re looking to argue with people on this forum, which when I think about it, makes a lot of sense. Hope this helps.

I don’t really care about past signings, why is there any discussion about being able to trade a player that hasn’t even suited up for one game yet? It’s just odd to me, that’s all. Don’t really have any interest in discussing the trade possibilities of a new player lol.

And if Coleman is gonna be there, then Miller and Myers have to be as well. I don’t think we’re too far away from where we need to be regarding “toughness”. Not to mention Pod, even though he’s a rookie, has gone toe to toe with adults before.

It’s absolutely bonkers. Only in Vancouver will the first thought about a new signing be whether or not he’s tradeable lol

People who have a positive outlook on things are part of the worst group ever? You sound miserable lmao

You do understand that McDavid does this to literally every defenseman in the league, right? You don’t contain him, you just hope that nobody else on the oilers can score lol
