MaxVerstappen33 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The jokes about the Oilers getting Mcdavid started pouring in about this time of year last year. And guess what.. It happened. And nobody should be surprised. It had the biggest odds of happening. The same jokes are happening now about Matthews. This is a disgrace hockey. This is a disgrace to the NHL. If the GM's and NHL execs were too dumb to do something about it then the players should. If Matthews came out and said that he will not report, then maybe the league will wake up. And maybe the boneheads in Edmonton will trade the pick like they should. Yes thats you Nicholson and Cherelli. Cherelli was fired for trading away a young star. This was the absolute worst GM for the job in Edm because young players must be traded. But good job new management. You didn't do any better then MacT and co. The Finns should also come out and say that they will not report to the black hole that is Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toni Zamboni Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 seems like a dumb move for any player to announce pre-draft that they will not report to a team if they win the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Oilers, where young 1st round picks go waste their time and talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon45ca Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Honestly, that would just look terrible on Matthews to refuse to report to the team that drafts him. Lindros 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 All he can do right now is pray that he doesn't get drafted by the Oilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing With Pride Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 You could ask a king's ransom for Matthews. Maybe trade him to Buffalo for Reinhart or Eichel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFBR392 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Even with the Oilers epic failures and uncanny ability to be the worst team in the league.. they're still going to only have a 20% chance of getting Matthews anyway. Theres an 80% chance they won't. Odds are still in everybody else's favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'd love Mathews for those reasons but they're not moving OEL for him. Strome, Domi etc...sure. OEL no. EDM would hilariously have to add to even get ARZ to consider it IMO.

Gurn Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Do you want Mathews to proclaim his homosexuality, AND tell the oilers he won't sign, or merely tell the Oilers he won't sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
