McLeod traded for Savoie, so a little more than nothing but not much ..Wtf would you put Lavioe on waiver
Get f*** Edmonton, now you have nothing to show for trading away McLeod
@Ernie
That's because I haven't taken a rigorous look at the various rosters around the league to make such a decision. But neither have the pundits. My point wasn't I would do a better job or have done a better job. Just that the prediction articles etc. are not articles that have a lot of thought put into them. They are about as useful as a preseason record. Good teams tend to remain good teams, bad team tend to remain bad teams with a few of each moving the other way. That is all they tend to say. My comment wasn't one where I was going to put forth my thesis on what makes a good team vs cup favourite.
I've only looked at a few rosters (Flames - awful, Oilers - got worse IMO, Canucks - got better IMO...that's about it). Of those three I wouldn't even put the Oilers as the favourite. Call me a homer.
I thought I saw Savoie, but still f*** EdmontonMcLeod traded for Savoie, so a little more than nothing but not much ..
Even if one takes the time to do a detailed pre season SC favorite analysis things happen in the season but the outrage that the Oilers are considered favorites from the West is amusing from some sectors that started off this tangent@Ernie

To many more!I think this is probably a mistake by Bowman and the Oilers.
Thought Reichel was on his way to becoming a very good player a couple years ago. Seems that he's hit a bit of a roadblock in his development.
If anyone needs a sneaky fantasy pick up, just look at Chicago's top line.
