When Pettersson is ready, we can mpve McDavid to the 4th line. Do we want his contract though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 We really should help them by repatriating their 1st round pick before it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 5-1 Blues late in the 3rd. Seriously, say it isn't so??? If those Coilers get another 1st overall, I'm going to play the conspiracy card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 8-2 LOL!!! how do they still suck with a generational player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluralsight Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I hate the Coilers as much as the next guy here, but man, did not expect them to be this bad. Good for them for being unable to handle the cup contender expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Edmonton lost 8-2. It makes me happy to see that team get destroyed, but on the other hand, I worry that we will see the repeat of 2015 draft lottery and they get Dahlin. I get this feeling that Chiarelli is not doing anything update the roster because he wants to tank and get a chance to draft a top defenceman. Next year's draft seems aplenty of high caliber dmen.

He also chokes in big games as shown by his playoff and Memorial Cup (Cole Cassels) appearances. In minor hockey his team won 32 straight games then lost in the league final (not joking). Embarrassing people mention him as the best player in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't have Dahlin they just can't. They deserve to draft a bust with the amount of talent they already got and wasted for the past decade. They won't learn the lesson of tanking won't work until they draft a bust, lose again the following year and rumours of McDavid wants out. That's what they deserve.

Brad Marchand Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The Oilers are so slow it's not even funny. What do you do when you draft the fastest player in the league? Anchor him with a bunch of slugs. It's no wonder they can't score goals or play consistent defence when most of their forwards have no speed whatsoever. They better hope Yamamoto and Puljujarvi develop into something special because they have absolutely no depth on the wing outside of Draisaitl who normally would be playing centre except they literally have no one else capable of playing with McDavid.

McBackup Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Love watching the Oilers fail. The best part is once McDavid and Draisaitl's albatross contracts kick in they're going to be even more screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The thing is, with 61 games left, they're only 7 points out of a wildcard spot. I still can't envision them not making the playoffs, but the dream is that they'll fall into some sort of purgatory position so that they miss the playoffs and are unlikely to get a high draft pick.

McJesus has actually never even made it to the Memorial Cup. His team got knocked out be Cassel's Generals in the OHL final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanzolo Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 To be honest, I didn't expect Edmonton to play this poorly. On paper, they look solid. A lot of their depth players looked good last year, I'm not sure if anyone predicted them to be regressing, especially guys like Talbot and Klefbom. What went wrong?

It kinda reminds me of the Colorado avalanche (I think it was 2014-2015 but im too lazy to google right now). They just drafted some nice young players and had an excellent season. They made the post season and the year after everyone had huge expectations. They never really met those expectations and floundered ever since.
