YOWnuxFAN Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Seriously. We were in the running for Shultz, Dallas Eakins, Caggiula and it also looks like we'll lose Dubois to them. It's getting ridiculous. I don't know if I'm more annoyed that we are losing out or that they will likely mess up this kid's development like they've done to so many others (including Shultz). end rant.

Green Building Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 No. The Oiler's are too busy losing to themselves for me to care too highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Canucks had lukewarm interest in Eakins at best. Caggiula is at best a middle 6 forward. I wish people would stop overreacting either here or on Twitter. Get over it. Edit: That last part isn't directed at you OP but just in general. I am not trying to be rude.

chon derry Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 7 reasons to worry about losing to the oilers, 6 regular season games and ...maybe a playoff round and thats so far away ,and then really why worry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theilluminati Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Is anyone else getting sick of people whining and complaining about a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 10 years and is still losing despite the numerous 1st overall picks.? I could see if the Oilers were suddenly a dominant team then maybe you could be "annoyed"...but they aren't...so basically anyone railing against the Oilers the last few years is unhappy with the management of a team they don't even cheer for...just stop for a second and think about that...why in the name of Baby Jesus does anyone care what another teams owners/management has done...especially Canuck fans who have only benefited from the Oilers futility these last 6-7 years...I swear most Canuck fans don't know whether they are coming or going...

goalie13 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 How did Eakins and Shultz work out for them? And considering the Oilers dropped two spots in the draft as well, there really isn't any way to count that as losing out to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top_Shelf Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I'm not worried about it, he's going to know how it feels to be on the wrong side of Tryamkin's bodycheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 This isn't sour grapes, but does anyone find it odd that they've supposedly signed the kid, and there's no report other than from the media? The Oilers haven't even made a press release. Now I trust Bob Mac, but sounds like something odd is going on. Maybe it's term or some contract issue. I'd also be concerned about a player who signs with a team, not because of players, coaches, but the fact they have a new arena? Just seems odd. I wish him luck regardless.

Rough Neck Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I don't think we are losing out to the Oilers here. They will either trade for a right handed dman, or draft a defenseman at fourth overall. Even if they draft a forward, it's not guaranteed to be Dubois either, they could see someone else as more valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Spector Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 So the Oilers sign a 5'10" LW who projects to be a third liner and who got less points in his 4th year in College than Boeser did in his first year, and I'm supposed to be pissed about that??

YEGCanuck Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 We really have to get over ourselves. Vancouver, as much as the community has going for it, may not be the greatest place on earth to play a kids game. Just because a young man has taken the time to consider many NHL clubs and he decided on the Oil as his preferred destination simply means we are one of many teams he has effectively rejected. Don't dis him for that. As a group of dedicated fans we would be well served to stop whining about how others may perceive our city and team.

Wait until he gets hit by the Tram. He'll be regretting the day he picked Edmonton over us. What's he gonna do over there anyways, hang out at the mall all day long? Do they have restaurants and movie theatres in Edmonton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I was going to go off on a rant about self pity etc but it looks like others don't enjoy the "me victim" stance either. I imagine Cagguila thinks he'll get more ice time with Edmonton than with Van or some how fit in better. Good luck to him. I don't see it myself. I hope for his sake that he gets better support than Justin Schultz did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
