It was a pretty brutal contrast between the two teams. Calgary has depth, speed and tenacity. Oilers have qualified speed (McDavid). I liked Nuge's game as well as McDavid, did not like LD's game much. Flamers are for real. My only question would be their goal tending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No goalie ... No D ... No help for McDavid ... Cap problems ... Worst though? Their management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Watching Hichcock on After Hours, I came away with the sense that the Oilers are in for a long, very slow rebuild. He was saying all the right stuff, my hometown, I live 10 minutes from the arena, I'm an Edmonton boy, and all that. I've only seen a Canuck team that fragile, with a fair bit of talent on paper that is, Moglilny, Messier, Bure, Linden, et al, since the Keenan days. The Oilers are much worse.

hammertime Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I wonder what a realistic price would be for Mc David. Let's say the Avs wanted to take a shot. Could it look like Nate Mac + Ottawas first + Barrie? For McDavid and Lucic? I think maybe the best way for them to get better would be the trade the only player on their team other teams will over pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Chia has sold off their depth in bad trades. Extended their rebuild by losing too much value in those deals. I think one deal a lot of people forget is the chance to draft Barzal (top 10 talent in his draft year) at 16th overall or pass on him for the next highly ranked dman Thomas Chabot. Instead he trade the pick along with his 2nd rounder for Griffin freaking Rienhart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty bad. the oilers aged maclellan about 25 years. Pretty sure the oilers will put hitch in his grave. johnny hockey completely dominated the oilers. connor who?

I don’t think the Oilers would trade McD but it would take a lot more than that package to land the best player in the game, especially if you’re tying Lucic to it.

Cale Makar and next year's Avs 1st Giving the Avs the most ridiculous center depth since Malkin/Crosby and the Oilers cap relief and a shot at a true rebuild Never happen but....

MikeBossy Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I think we will see the Coilers make a play for Zuccarello from the Rangers or Simmonds from the Flyers - it would have to involve their first and Puljujarvi - although do the Oilers make it lottery protected as I can see them ending up in the running for the lottery the way they are playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look back at what the Lindros trade involved and that’s the kind of package it would take to deal McDavid. Can you omage Oil fans if they had to live through a 99 and 97 trade in the same lifetime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell would the avs trade mac? They sure as hell would not add a 1st (possible 1st overall pick) and barrie for a lateral move lmao or a slight increase in talent....come on.

Dude come on man it's not like I thought the proposal through I'm not an oil fan or and avs fan I mearly was making the point that there isn't anyone other than MC David they can trade in a winning scenario left. Everyone smells blood and frankly the longer anyone plays in Edmonton the more they depreciate in value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabychStache Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 McDavid could go to St Louis. Tarasenko Petierangelo Allan 1st For McDavid Talbot Mind you the Hitchcock thing may squash that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hall for Larson. Reinhart for Barzal. Eberle for Strome. No wonder they suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would suck to play them but I'd LOVE to see him go to Nashville. Imagine him, with that speed and their D *drool* Him and Johansen as a 1-2 punch at C... Tolvanen, Fabbro, a couple firsts and a couple vets to balance salary would probably be close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
