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

Lind Gadjovich Gaudette juolevi Forsling.
Gonna have a pretty nice looking third line and defence pair of young players out there of our cast offs playing for other teams this year and for years to come.
Forsling had a nice season last year. 43 games 17 points and plus 17. I assume mostly 3rd pair usage as he was claimed off waivers.
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.

I agree, Hughes setting himself up to be the whipping boy getting paid more than OEL when clearly his on ice play is not there yet and setting Petey up for a big pay day in 3 years while leaving no money for depth this year and raises over the next two summers. Worst possible outcome for me honestly and very good chance we’ll regret it
Most definitely a glass half empty kinda guy

They are both lighter bodies, and naturally gifted (aerobically and skills) too. These are two guys who will take little time to get into playing shape and up to speed.
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

Do I have to name the worst bit… Dahlen
Your obsession with Dahlen is so obnoxious. It’s easily one of the most annoying things to see on this board.

Hughes was horrendous 5v5 last year, he’s not ready for top minutes and may never be. That’s a bridge to me or a more realistic long term deal that favours the team.
Petey has no real holes in his game which means he should be getting paid 6-7 next year for what he is and in a much better bargaining position for his potential
7+ on a bridge or 8+ with term for Petey (Barzal and Johnny Hockey good comparables cap% wise in the data above)
You’re dreaming if you think we’re getting them signed at those prices lol

Dave Mustane (MegaDeth for the uncool people out there)
Kane, Kieth, Marchand, Kuch, etc….
Hugs and high fives don’t win a thing.
Just ask the Sedin’s.
Doing what whatever it takes and leaving peoples feelings out of it, even if that means being a greasy jerk…… that’s how you win.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.

Hockey was better when everyone were being d*1ks.
Metal/rock was better when everyone were being d*1ks, drunk and on drugs.
It is what it is. Facts show being a d*1k while backing it up works lolPlease show us these facts lmaoooo

I disagree that millzy isnt as talented as BB..brock is a one dimentional shooter with low speed no physical play
brock is a pure shooter millzys an all around big body guy reminds me of a modern day bertuzzi me personally would trade brock before him
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.

I think you're using elite a little too liberally there. I'd counter that he's a 23 year old former high pick who (due to whatever circumstances) has reached waiver eligibility without establishing himself for more than a handful of nhl games.
It’s very naive to think no one would claim OJ. Someone would take him without a doubt.

Great signing 2 YRS X 2.5 million -- GP 56 --G 15 --PTS 26 --- Can play in top 6, will be better then Hyman...
Ritchie will put up points playing with Toronto top 6...
2021-22 --GP 75 -G 25 --PTS 50-55 -- 160 Pim
It’s pretty clear that you haven’t watched either of these players if you think Ritchie will be better than Hyman.

Because this signing parallels those ones.
Because people don't have short memories.
[The thing goes here]
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.

Well it is pretty understandable to consider that angle based on very recent history.
We have had several years in a row where we signed guys who were immediately untradeable because of those contracts. We also just gave up a lot to get rid of those players and correct those errors.
it isn’t one awful contract that had handcuffed us, it was a trend of $1 million too much and 1 year too much term to a bunch of guys. More than the rest of the market was willing to pay…
Folks brought up Hankanpaa as a comparable (not as quick, but much more physical). He got $1 million less per year and 1 year less term.
It is also hard to rationally blame the Vancouver market or this forum when the national media are saying the same thing.
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.

Got to add Hamonic to our list.
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.

Guy hasn’t played a game for us yet and people already talking about whether he will be easy to move.
It’s absolutely bonkers. Only in Vancouver will the first thought about a new signing be whether or not he’s tradeable lol

Hey Chuck
You got the trifecta of bags from the "Faithful"
You know you are a real idiot if you get one more, ( Shayster has not contributed yet)
the funny thing about Dazzler is they said I am not objective"
as if believing everything Jim ever says/does is objective
then they say Daniel talked to OEL and Daniel says OEL will bounce back next year, enough said
so not only will dazzler and the worst crew ever repeat and believe every word from Jimer's maw
Everything from Lord Danky will also be repeated as the gospel truth
that is "Objective" according to Dazzler and the 3 blind mice
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

Is it just me or does Petey look really uninspired?
