I think it was more disappointed parent and defending him

Maybe. But that's not the vibe I got.

 

[VanJack]

Caulfield with his 30th of the year.

Damn.

But Podkolzin..........

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

But Podkolzin..........

I had three on my wishlist ahead of Pod and only 3. Got to see his WJC performance and was...less than enthused.

Boldy, Caufield, and Soderstrom.

2/3 ain't bad - Meatloaf.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Anyone else lol maniacally at the Oilers giving out unreported no-moves?

Holy shit they are in trouble and they don't even know it because McDrai are still outscoring their problems.

Thanks Judd

Giving Henrique a no move is insane given his age and where he was/is at in his career when he signed the deal.

 

[kanucks25]

Miller with another goal and assist and Mikheyev passes Pettersson in goals.

Don't even know what to say anymore lol

 

[HairyKneel]

I think it’s simple, if it was a nothing burger and management overreacted, then whatever Miller did would’ve been leaked by someone considering how many people knows about it apparently. Considering it still has not leaked out despite probably everyone in the league knowing about it illustrates one thing, players, coaches, management and journalists around the league don’t want it out there.

It wasn't a nothing burger. The guy was a problem festering for years. Management is to blame but so are Miller and Peter. They don't give a f*** about the sweater. Either of them. Bounce spaghetti legs next. Losers.... one and both.

God sportsnet sucks.. leafs sharks still going on i guess

It’s Edm. At his age his family would like the peace of mind of not being away from him for 2-3 months. Unless he wants it.
Reality of the business when you are in a non destination market.

 

[bossram]

Frederic to EDM. Some depth to their bottom-six, but they really need more speed and offense from there. Used up one of their trade bullets on a superfluous piece.

Jake Evans' contract is interesting. Maybe with that as a comparator, re-signing Suter seems more palatable.

That can be accomplished through a no trade rather than a no move. Obviously there's an expectation that the player would continue to perform. Tyler Myers for example has a no move his first two years but he's a defensemen and they tend to age better.

When the A team is so far away, in Bakersfield, that probably is the reason he'd ask for the NMC. Use your leverage when you have it.

Spending $10MM on olds (Arvidsson, Henrique and Skinner) while moving out $9MM of fasts (Broberg, Holloway and McLeod) was a questionable decision when made and father time's influence isn't helping at all. All three guys they punted have leveled up significantly, while the olds - unsurprisingly - are trending in the opposite direction.

It will be fascinating to see if McDavid re-signs there this summer. I can't imagine why he would.

I don't think anyone is questioning why he would ask for the NMC. I'm just saying it's insane to give him one past the first year. Plus the guy played in Anaheim for like 6+ years. Bakersfield isn't that far away. It's far from the ocean though. Plus I'm sure he can work out an arrangement should he pass through waivers unclaimed.

I mean he is absolutely going to. I bet he and Drai talked about it last summer.

I doubt I would if I saw what was happening, but a lot of players seem not to, and chase money or something instead.

 

[supercanuck]

I hope Bouchard asks for the max he can get like $11-12M on his next contract.

Yeah I'd give Suter 2.85M.

Well worth it for 35 points and good on the PK. That's good value even if the cap wasn't going up.

We can also tell him, we are gonna trade ya but we’ll give you a 4 year term when you become a UFA

Flames thumping the Flyers. 3 goals in 2 min.

 

[M2Beezy]

This Bruins forum thread on the trade today gives some insight into Edmonton just paid a high 2nd, 4th and prospect for. Bruins fans happy lol

Confirmed with Link: Thread 'Frederic & Max Jones traded to Oilers for 2nd , 4th and Max Wanner'

Yesterday at 1:08 PM

What the heck is the return?

Max Wanner, St. Louis' second-round pick in 2025 (owned by Edmonton) and Edmonton's own fourth-round selection in 2026.

[VanillaCoke]

Oilers confirmed NOT adding a Goaltender pre tdl LOL

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

The Oilers are a disaster of a hockey team. They have both their stars at 100% and can't even beat the Ducks?

Am I wrong?

Don't get me wrong, I love Trent Frederic but it's a bad target for them.

 

[Bobby9]

Oilers about to lose 6 of their last 7 games

Hate to see it
