I hope you're right. This decline was starting to show up though in his later years in Arizona though. He stopped being able to carry the puck end to end, and started chipping pucks out off the glass, and his footspeed was slowing down- he was starting to get beat more often. Chychrun was getting more minutes than him at the end of OELs arizona career, and the harder matchups. Maybe im overly pessimistic, we'll see. I guess if Karlsson can get a second wind, so can OEL.

So much smoke around this "country club atmosphere" comment originally made. I didn't buy it at first but im starting to really believe it obviously not everyones a problem (i dont think petey and hughes are problems in this regard) but we need a big change that redefines the way they practice and play. youre right to point out there's no cohesion - they miss so many passes, and they're guys that have played together for a long time. but there's also visible signs of laziness - bad forechecking and backchecking, laissez-faire attitude in preseason games, and more. Our of our teams official leaders, Horvat is probably the only one setting a real example. Miller's defensive mistakes combined with unwillingness to get back on defense, and OEL's decline in play are not setting the pace for everyone else.

I was gonna say lets try to get Buffalo in the mix too but lets face it they're too good for all of us now

"Hey OEL, better start playing like Karlsson or we're sending you where the sun literally does not shine"

If they can add in a 3rd, we'll give them Poolman and its a deal

Honestly though who do they really want from us? Maybe Demko to replace Varlamov Garland or Miller? They look pretty set at C Definitely don't want any of our defense -

I disagree. He never stopped trying even when things weren't working right. Mentally he was shaken but his ego isn't fragile. Underperforming didn't make him sulk and pout, he just kept working and working until he pushed through it. Thats what need more of. -

Very fragile egos on the team. We saw it last year too when we were losing. Petey has some mental fortitude. Outside of him idk. -

Nice opportunities for Bo and Zegras to pad their stats against hilariously feeble defenses -

Me too. We're not going to get a 23-24 year old player dramatically outperform his contract. We need guys we draft, and have for 3 years on ELCs who can give us 3-5 million dollars worth of punch for 900k. Otherwise we'll simply drown in mediocrity because of how badly we're overpaying on some existing contracts. -
