  1. Imagine having had a young Lucic....
  2. Wouldn't mind a couple of D-men that size... Don't care about their offence, just having to be able to defend....
  3. Well on the other side, at least they are as close to sure things at it gets... The further down you draft the bigger the chance of busts... If you feel they are too expensive, they would be worth a kings ransom for somebody else? Can't see it ever being a negative drafting superstars....
  4. Oilers Oilers Oilers Oilers Oilers Oilers Oilers Oilers Oilers Oilers Oilers Flames.......
  5. Key word.... Atm, a lot depends on which movement that can be done, to make the team competitive... If EP goes next year, or the dynamic falters Kuz should be easy to move. I definitely makes a lot of sense....
  6. I'm not entirely sure, what they thought to start the season tbh... I Demko had played to his potential, they might have been in the mix for a wild card. As soon as he went down, we all kinda knew it was time to look towards next season. I agree, lets take another year 'off' ( hopefully Petey will understand), and the start to build a proper team after Myers and Pearson goes. At that stage we can buy one or two players out that doesn't fit the team, and then we should suddenly have plenty of space to create a team to make a push. But guess it all depends on, where JR/PA sees us next summer.
  7. I don't know, what the thinking is in the room, but I hope, you are right. At least another year of,what ever happens, happens, would be perfectly fine. After that Myers and Pearson will be gone, and then we will start to have some breathing space cap wise. We are suffercating just now, and locked into making trades, that may not suit us... Wouldn't matter if we didn't have a fair few contracts not living up to their value. Thing is though, if Demko comes back and find form again, he alone could probably make this chase a wild card spot, despite being so poor this year.
  8. That is the thing that says everything about the state of the club and the locker room ..... If it had been a toxic locker room, its unlikely he would have pushed for a contract extension, like he did... The boy plays with a smile on his face here.... So damn pleased he stays...
  9. Maybe, but only issue with a OEL buy out is us being stuck with a penalty like forever... If they can find a dance partner for Brock, I still see him being the victim, or one of them... We definitely need a change of winger for a better C/D-man, otherwise we are just staying pat... In saying that, staying pat may be the outcome for next season. After next season Pearson and Myers are gone, so there may be money available for the upgrades needed + re-upping Petey... But if they want to push for play offs next season, they may need to do some buy outs... Just have my fears after the way we obtained OEL...
  10. Until we know, nobody knows for sure, but they will have changed direction, should that happen.
  11. For him the sky is always grey.... He doesn't have a clue, what offers are available.
  12. If there is going to be a buy out, my money would be on Brock... He doesn't really fit the in your face narrative... But they may ride the pine and keep him as well as Myers for another year...
  13. And to be honest, think most of us, thought the same... Brilliant deal... If they can't get rid of Brock, at least his contract runs out, when Kuz is getting renewed, in case he continues playing like this.
  14. What a fantastic bit of business.... only a 12 team no trade clause and $5.5M.... never in a million years, would I have thought they'd get away with that, due to his age... Now continue the tank, cut some fat, and lets get some excitement for the fans going into the next season.
  15. Yep of course they do... its their lively hood that is at stake... They have to put themselves in the shopping window, in case they get dumped.
  16. This... If he is going, and by all accounts that looks to be the case, then ship him out while he still scores like Ovi in his prime...
  17. I'm sure @Provostagrees, but its the lure of having the 3 brothers playing together, as well as having the ability to perhaps keep their cap hit manageable, if they want to stay together... Should milk it, if it ever came to this...
  18. Very true... Lets see what Tocchet brings. For years, probably since at least 2011 the majority on these boards have complained about the lack of toughness, of our players... Tbh I could care less about, what he did years ago... everyone is entitled to a second chance. A culture change could be coming. and I for one would applaud that...
  19. Yep... the whole coaching change doesn't make sense, unless they have a plan. They may want to give Tocchet a good bit of time, to work with the players not traded at TDL, but I would be odd if they didn't have a plan, how to continue forward. Changes has to happen.... we are going in circles atm... and nowhere fast.
  20. Management will be gone soon enough, but fans are forever...
  21. Haven't got a clue, but have a hard time seeing Brock survive a physical environment... Tbh I'm kind of hoping/looking forward to some in your face, don't back down hockey, if that is, what we get.... All while we are sinking to the bottom of the standings... perfect storm.
  22. Aye fair enough...there's two side to every story... Nice one JD.
