Grade the Oilers FAF

Its so nice to start a season and not have 5+ holes in the lineup.

Our forward group is stacked. Knoblauch should be able to roll the lines and McDavid and Draisaitl won’t be zombies by the time the playoffs start.

I think the defense could be improved but it is something that can be evaluated and upgraded if required at the trade deadline.

Its so nice to have a couple potential holes versus 5+

ARE WE MAKING SIMPSONS JOKES??

I didn’t realized we got Rico signed. A+ from me.

 

[Senor Catface]

I'm just happy we don't have to watch a Perlini or Ty Rattie in the top 6 and hope for the best.

 

[bellagiobob]

H. The oldtimers will get it.

 

[Senor Catface]

By the way, this was our forward core back in 20-21.

[Nostradumbass]

It was pretty good

 

[Jumptheshark]

I thought we had a good day until JJ decided f*** it, lets keep Henrique as well.

only draw back is the D is the same more or less. But the big question is someone injured or is someone getting traded

 

[Thomas Tatar]

A+ with the signings, I just wish there was a creative way to shed some cap and boost the right side D. But the fact we are heading into the season with our playoff team plus two legitimate top 6 wingers is absolutely incredible.

 

[VainGretzky]

When buying weed on line it would be the 5 star category

 

[Oilhawks]

H. The oldtimers will get it.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Holy shit this team is very deep. Hopefully we can upgrade the D . What an offseason Jeff Jackson so far

Couldn't upgrade D or goaltending today but that's fine.
Comrie could have been added for extra competition In net.
Walker would have been good despite the term he got from Canes.

A+ otherwise.

 

[FlameChampion]

I bet Daniel Briere would grade today an F

 

[AUAIOMRN]

Golly tootin' what a day. Imagine if even one of our young guys take a big next step this year too.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Yeah we might have had a good day. Nuck fans our very salty right now

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I was pretty happy before I left for my anniversary dinner with Mrs5 and came home to seeing Skinner, Henrique, Janmark and Stetcher all signed.

Manager? We don’t need no stinkin’ manager.

We got the Jackson 5!

@Oilhawks are you happy now? Promises delivered!

 

[LTIR]

o look a flames fan voted c- in this poll.

that changes my vote from B+ to A.

 

[Jarvi]

I'd say A-/B+. Still would like to see an upgrade on defense but other than that I've got no complaints.

Not for the prices we've seen. The only real upgrade on D would have either cost like 6m or us trading a legit top 4 D as with Chychrun and Jensen. Though I do think Ott got hosed, Jensen is a really good player too. Seems both teams just wanted a different looking top 4 guy, and we don't really have one to offer who isn't absurdly overpaid or untouchable. Compared to the FA contracts handed out, I like Ceci's price tag.

 

[soothsayer]

The only reason I didn't give an A+ is that they didn't upgrade Ceci. Otherwise, A.

 

[rboomercat90]

I don’t think a grade can be given until Draisaitl resigns. Once that happens it’s an A+. If it doesn’t happen this summer then I think a black cloud forms over the team and nothing else matters.
