Lots of carnage

McDavid is probably missing the rest of the regular season TBH.

 

[Mez]

So glad we got Fredric for emotional support.

 

[Duke74]

Seems promising for Draisaitl but not great for McDavid.

FFS. Flying to Las Vegas from Switzerland to catch the Oilers game on April 1st (my first live game since 2019). Bought a brand new Draisaitl jersey to wear. What an absolutely bummer that neither Drai nor McDavid are going to play.

Sounds like Draisaitl is a maybe for the Vegas game but McDavid is unlikely.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

As soon as they start dropping in the standings mcdavid will be back.

I want to cry.

This could cost Drai the hart.

TBH I do not think he was going to get it anyway, MacKinnon is getting it. A pole was taken among a whack of sportscasters a couple of weeks ago and MacKinnon won handily.

Oiler luck that he didnt get injured March 5. We could have used that 12.5M in cap space on acquiring a 4th liner or depth D.

The Vegas odds were in favor of Draisaitl winning the Hart, but now he's dropped below both Hellybuyck and MacKinnon. That, and the Ross, is unfortunately lost.

Depending on when he actually returns, the Rocket may be in jeopardy as well.

If he does not play again this year the Rocket Richard would still be very likely his. Nylander would have to score 10 goals in his last 11 games.

That's still quite doable. Knowing that Draisaitl is out for the season (if that's the case), Nylander (along with others that are relatively close) would try harder, shoot more, and seek more scoring opportunities (i.e. being put out with the empty net), which would thereby increase his odds of winning.

However, if Draisaitl does return in the next 3-4 games as Knoblauch indicated, the point is likely moot.

I think he also suffers in Hart voting from “he plays with McDavid” syndrome.

At this point my guess is that the fan base will take this as good news and the media will lament it as a disaster.

Skinner needs a hard reset and if we re lucky Pickard or the recall catches lightning in a bottle.

Here's hoping that Roy becomes our Aiden Hill.

Oilers players have to be heads and tails better than their peers to win the Hart, otherwise it goes to someone else with “reputation”

Guess they’ll re-sign him as an RFA then. Intrigued by the player, probably a 7D but big, cheap and right shot (IIRC)

He's capable.

 

[Fourier]

He's capable.

Sure. But he has never done this before in his career so I'd say it is not likely.

Fore sure, it's a big ask and very unlikely. I'm just saying you never know, and he definitely has the skill tools and the support. I never thought Hyman was capable of 54 goals either.

This could cost Drai the hart.

f*** the NHL, they prorated Neal’s points to award Calgary a better pick, those cockwads can do the same to award Drai the Rocket & Hart.
