I mean, it was early in this losing streak that Kane took a detour from the dressing room to complain to Scott Oake about going down to the third line; I for one would be SHOCKED that so selfless a player could continue to be a pox in the dressing room.

The Oilers can't draft
I often wondered if Holloway was going to be anything other then a guy who skates fast. 11 games no points.

I thought Wallstedt was a good option for us at the time (we drafted Lucius) as there was no certainty that Helle would extend.
How in the heck did the oilers trade down and miss him to only pick up an extra 3rd round pick??
Not saying he would be a savior at the moment, but he was good value I thought where he was drafted, and such an obvious need for them.

They drafted Broberg because they "needed" D and the next pick Zegras went
Wow, paying a goalie 5 million a year to play in the minors. It's stuff like this that makes me glad we have Chevy, most of the time anyway.

Oilers should see if they can get Koskinen back he is 6'7" after all.
How long before McJesus demands a trade? If this keeps up probably not long.
I'm surprised he's lasted this long tbh
Me too, i think he has 2 years left after this season, i could see him saying i want out at the end of this season if they don't turn it around.

The Jets paid Pavelec 4.75m to play in the minors...

I could understand giving Campbell $5 million per year despite limited success...really half a season in Toronto. What I don't understand is how he was able to leverage that into a 5 year contract from the Oilers. Would there have actually been any other teams that would offer him that term despite having a mediocre 2nd half of the 2021-22 season and a poor playoffs? I have my doubts. I would like to think 3 years at the same AAV would have got it done. Assuming he never finds his game, the Oilers will be stuck with his $5 million cap hit for the next 3 years unless they buy him out. I'm not sure what the buyout would be in terms of cap hit.
As for the Canucks, I did think they would make the playoffs as a wild card team this season. They do have some core pieces that every teams covets - a top-5 centre in the league, a possible top-5 d in the league (probably top-10 at this point easily) and a possible top10 goalie. That's a strong core for a possible Stanley Cup contender. Of course, they need to add some more pieces around that. Adding Hronek in the off-season to improve the defense was a nice start.

What's the point if sending campbell down for Pickard... trade him to Carolina and eat half of his salary

Why did McDavid sign 8 years? This was the coup of the century (at least decade) for Edmonton.
The gambling public has the right to know the facts.
I'd trade almost the whole Oilers team starting today. Kane, McDavid, Drai, Nurse, Skinner, RNH, etc.
I'd keep Foegel, Elkhorn, That Leaf guy, and maybe Gagner. That is all.
He should be making 20% of Cap.
At the time it was the biggest contract ever given out. And he will be able to sign another 8 year deal at somewhere around a $16 M AAV when the time comes.
Really? I must have forgot that , at least it wasn't 5 million.
