Nobody is giving up an asset for what they could get for free.  The waiver wire vultures are circling

Yup.  OJ is dead on his skates.  

[SergioMomesso]

Can we send OJ back to Finland without placing him on waivers? 

[Chris12345]

Is that BS of a sportsnet app working for anyone?

 

WTF how did I pay for it when it doesn't work!

 

By fluke the NHL app is working but lesson learned.

Via Arizona it's possible....oh you are serious?

 

Highly doubt it as he's on a one way.

Hunt isn't better than OJ necessarily but he is diversified.

 

How? He's not on either special teams unit. He's a better skater & has more offensive prowess, but Juolevi can atleast kill penalties.

SN Now is so hit and miss.

 

I've had it 3 years, first year was so-so (lots of  freezing), last year it was actually much better, but so far this year its been trash. To the point that I even searched out a stream for one of the games. 

 

They shouldn't have updated it.

Agreed.  OJ is better than Hunt.  But Hunt can play both sides and the coaches know what they will get from him each shift.  OJ might lay down.

I wonder if OJ’s new nick name is “bags”?  Or is it “Get up!” 

I would go with “bulletproof” because based on this pic u can tell he was shot multiple times and lived to tell about it…

The problem is how much can you trust him 5 on 5. But in bottom pair minutes he's capable of holding his own.

 

If you have Hughes/OEL taking up 23 mins each, the third guy doesn't need to play alot. But having one that can kill penalties would be crucial.

C’mon guys. This is a family program. 

At least we wont see McDavid humping anyone today as he has his rest day after dry humping our players last game

Can we send Green and Baumgartner to North Korea without a return ticket?

Sure that’s all nice, but try it while juggling riding a unicycle.  Then it’s Pethog worthy.

I am not a GM! What draft pick could you get for 6/7 defence man.

I wonder if Green is just fed up with OJ, especially after the “beached whale” incident?

If there was a way to get ESPN+ without an American credit card, I would've jumped onto that for $6 USD/month. Too bad they ask for American credit card.

[captainhorvat]

Biggest must win game of the season so far! They better not lose to this Oilers poverty lineup!

[CanucksJay]

Is this what we are honestly expecting for opening night? 

Is Green stupid? 

Schenn as our 6th? Juolevi And Bowey has outplayed him.  It's debatable whether Hunt has as well. 

I get you want some vet presence who is physically strong but he can't keep up. 

He's not fast enough to cover for Rathbone. 

Send Lockwood down for Highmore and Dowling while losing Gadj? 

Weird how he loves the vets on bottom 6 but he's willing to throw Rathbone into the fire when he's not ready... That's on D of all positions... Smh.. 

I'm a huge Rathbone fan and think he had top 4 upside but this is dumb...

LOL noooo

Remember? All the guys that played hockey said laying down on the ice after conditioning is normal. 

I think they do that in Germany
