Now that McDavid is hurt, is Nurse off the team? LOL that would be hilarious, make it so.

I was glad that we passed on him. I wanted Zadarov back but Elias was always going to be a poor contract imo.

Then was it worth the rental cost for him then ? We paid Brzustewicz. But I guess it was worth it for the Kuz cap dump.

I just hope we don't get in the habit of doing this twice a year. Brzust could be the next Mccan,Forsling,Guenther. But hey, everyone wants another defensman. We are probably going to do it. Again.

Looking at the Oilers lineup right now is laughably bad. Like lottery level bad. I dunno I just don't see the hype with them.

Some of us could see it in the preseason.

Very True. It’s rare that Boston makes these kind of bad signings. Looks like management is getting desperate to try to open a window that has already closed. Hopefully we see a few more bad moves like this.

Because they are "such a good organization". Jim Benning and Peter Chiarelli left such solid foundation in place. Maybe its time to bring one or both of them back to right the ship.

Call me crazy but I think Oilers might be alright. It's not the first time McDavid is out, and Draisaitl seems to take the helm without much issues.

I don’t think we passed on him as much as he passed on us. Friedman reported our offer was 7x7. What a massive blunder that would have been.

And yet you had some very “smart” posters clamouring for his re-signing.

Never been happier to see Boston looking done, and saddled with some anchor contracts.

I'm ready to call it equal now after we saved them from OEL. Their turn to save us from the brutal contract we could see coming a mile away.

Didn't realize the Sharks beat the Kings yesterday. Yes. Good. Good.

Is that any way to talk about the ‘deepest forward group in the league’!
