Ironic how much whining there was on CDC this summer regarding how this team's prospect pool was getting left in the dust by the likes of Edmonton....

Let's tank!

Ironic how much whining there was on CDC this summer regarding how this team's prospect pool was that's now getting left in the dust by the likes of Edmonton....

You're not wrong, but I think the statement could be more general

[oldnews]

I hope that by the end of the season you feel the same way

If felt this way at the beginning of the summer, so...yeah.

[oldnews]

You're not wrong, but I think the statement could be more general

Yes, you're right - which makes it even more nancy.

[cbdoubleu]

Oilers still need a good couple veteran D guys, like the Islanders bought last year. No goalie will look like a number 1 until they fix that.

[terrible.dee]

If he gets sent down its back to junior. He's still not eligible for the AHL

Lame, you have to be 20 right?

Well, if he can hang in a defensive role, I hope he stays.

If he's checking effectively at the NHL level let him stay here and do it, the defense is too weak in junior to help him develop offensively. So I see more junior for him being a wasted, perhaps damaging year.

[canuckledraggin]

I know it has only been 4 periods of the preseason but are the Oilers really still this bad?

I really think that when we get going, we're gonna prove that we didn't take a step back at all. They may have taken a step forward, but we didn't take a step back by any means.

Parity. I've been thinking about making a thread entitled Parity. I'd be shocked if this wasn't the tightest race in years, and I'd be surprised if it takes more than 96 points to make the playoffs in the west.

You didn't have to say all that. You could've just said "It's pre-season"....

[terrible.dee]

Yeah, the Islanders really proved what a couple of skilled D-men can for for a team.

[Amish Rake Fighter]

Boeser's ripping it up as well, check out the shot

Nothing new. Same as last year's "we're not even in the same galaxy as the Cali teams" off-season, and the same "we won't be near the playoffs" this year.

Nancies gonna Nan.

love that. needs to become part of the lexicon.

[Ghostsof1915]

Is Shorty saying Crackle?

[Gstank29]

Cracknell has a a really good preseason. I hope we keep him as the 13th forward

[Jack Fig]

One thing I've noticed...McCann is absolutely unaffected by the speed of the games. He thinks and skates at NHL pace.

[Gaudette Celly]

Thought they did that last year. Oh wait -- $4.5mil now in the minors.

[Provost]

Yeah...the rebuild sure has taken off eh?

I am cautiously optimistic for sure... it does allow for us to also chase a couple of top tier free agents if we have 3-5 guys on the roster playing on ELCs and contributing meaningful minutes.

[baumerman77]

Sbisa should be cut from the team and sent to Utica. He has easily been the worst of the remaining defenders.

[-Vintage Canuck-]

Lucky.
