You mention all their "great players" how many of those players are defenseman? Goaltenders? +1 No d and no goalie means you will finish last or near last.

One season hall and eberle both finished with over 80pts. Oilers still sucked ass. Look what happend with tampa before bishop. Stamkos and MSL led the league in scoring. They missed the playoffs. You dont need great goaltending to win the cup. You need decent goaltending to make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at carolina wih the staal brothers. And theur forwards. For the most part their good defensively. Carolina wasnt doing very well for a long time because? No defenseman and no goalie.

I don't need to see every time he takes a crap on TSN though. And comparing him to Gretzky at this stage in his career highlights the problem I'm talking about. Lets see where he is in 5 years before we start comparing him to the greatest player of all time. Durability will be a big factor in his career. did not see anyone comparing McDavid to Bobby Orr, did I miss that page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on Gillis. Nurse is a beast. He'll be a cornerstone on EDM D for a decade. Oilers lucked out, They got Nurse at 7th and have 2 pretty good goalies now. Who knows if Schneider would have re signed in EDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be a cornerstone on EDM d for a decade. Gillis wanted the seventh plus a prospect. Mac T said no to the prospect. Yes I love Nurse too. Great player already, who has a real nasty bite to his game. I think he's better (already) than Seth Jones, because of his nastiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
