A whole season of knowing there is NO chance Erikkson makes it into the lineup. It will be fun to see the Abbotsford fans rip into him when he comes to town. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've added an albatross of a contract here. Garland is a nice little add but holy f&*#b@11z this is an awful move. 2 years without a 1st round pick... good luck to the next guy, gonna be as bad as Gillis left it. Yes we won’t be able to move Boeser, Peterson, Hughes or any of our young players because of their no movement clause and declining skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 This makes us a better team next year, but not as strong a team that we would have had in 2-4 years if we hadn't made this trade imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is already mates with Jack Rathbone, is stoked to be on our team. He talks highly of Dickinson. He sounds like a genuine guy with heart. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anisimov is intriguing. He could play with Podkolzin. I'd like a RH 4C to replace Beagle though. It is important as most of our forwards shoot left, even some of our right wingers. Bogosian would just be a good third pair with Joulevi or Rathbone. The leafs stink isn’t fully there as he was only there for a year. Anisimov would be great to make an interchangeable bottom 6 C group with Dickinson. Makes for two really good bottom 6 Cs 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole season of knowing there is NO chance Erikkson makes it into the lineup. I’m just living one season at a time as a fan right now. I get that some fans wanna plan 5 years in the future but that doesn’t matter to me. The important thing to me is that we’re a better team now than we were yesterday. We can always dump OELs contract on the Oilers if it sucks in 3 years. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the pick ended up being another Virtanen level pick? I get what you’re saying but there’s no guarantees in drafts just like there are no guarantees in trades.

I know they want to upgrade their D and demelo would be a great d partner for quinn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if OEL regains his top form here we can praise Eriksson as the guy that was the key piece in landing him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PistolPete13 Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 1 hour ago, CanucksCountry said: to play devils advocate here I think his decline has to do with Rick Tocchet, his decline started when Tocchet took over. here are some other notable stars around the league to have their stats drop as Tocchet as head coach. Taylor Hall, Steven Stamkos Vicent Lecavalier, Martian St. Louis, Max Domi and Phill Kessel, I think the change of scenery could benefit OEL, He is getting out of a situation where he publicly known butted heads with the head coach and management, having less pressure on him now without having the captaincy, having sweetish mentors in the twins around the team and having a new Defensive coach who is considered by many one of the best in the game in Brad Shaw so i really think we will see a bit of a bounce back for OEL Bingo. Let’s wait and see how OEL responds in a new environment. The rush to judgment here is mind numbing. Just give the man a chance to prove himself. before sh&tting all over him. This pissing and moaning is unbelievable. Would it be too hard to just let this elite athlete do his thing? Lets revisit the issue in six - eight months and see how it plays out. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks the team isn't ready to compete now, as he said, why make this move? I know the quote you are referring to. This trade changes that timeline though. We have a much,much better team now than we did this morning. A few years down the road is there risk? sure, but for next year, we have a solid looking team. I expect a few more move will be made in the next few days. OEL is a significant upgrade on Edler, and Garland could put up 65-75 points next season. Dickinson was a very good add as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also assumes that the opened cap space would somehow magically makes us better. Just look how that ended up for Seattle so far. A big fat nothing. Take away the picks, I see this just as something that would have been the result next year but just a year early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
