I dunno man, the cool BUF fans that came and posted reviews of the player for our benefit weren't very complimentary about certain aspects. I can see why. It's only for a year but this guy doesn't give off vibes of a player you rely on in the playoffs, when the games are far tighter defensively and even small mistakes get magnified 100x. Doesn't even look like a proper one shot scorer, which was his one tool.
I have to say, in the limited games I have watched, I barely know Jeff SKinner is playing.

Already having to go to the Connor / Leon combo in preseason, just to try and jumpstart an anemic and disinterested looking lineup.
They are a good combo to have at times. We shouldn't view it as a bad thing while we have our improved forward depth

Yeah man... completely invisible. Some here were grasping at straws claiming he was making good passes but.. really? Guy is a complete non-factor in every aspect and when he has been in prime shooting spots he's either mishandled or muffed the shots. Not impressed at all.

Our defense sucks, they can't move the puck, things will not get better until we move some of these bums out.

We'll handle the bottom dwellers but Vancouver isolates our D and cashes in on the limited opportunities they get.

Puljujarvi got another 3 pts tonight :sarcasm:
I was looking at the Pens lineup the other day. They have a lot of good young Finnish players. Maybe Puljujarvi can at last find a spot in the league where he feels at home. I’m not going to hate on the kid. It would be nice to see him have a good season. Down east. Where it barely affects the Oilers.

I kept fast forwarding until I shut it off. I'm ready for bed lol.

How has Emberson looked?

It is weird how we boosted our forward depth, which wasn't a problem, and to do so we cut our spending and quality on D, which was our weakness

Don't really see it with Stecher. He is just so meh everywhere. I wouldn't mind him as a #7 I guess, but I don't want him to be a fixture in line up, at all.


Not that I want Brown or Dermott either, just seen a lot of comments saying they want Stecher beside Nurse, but I don't see it. Rasmus Andersson would look so good on this team.

It's not Stecher vs Andersson. It's Stecher vs Dermott or Emberson. Andersson isn't for sale

who f***ing cares about Broberg now he's f***ing gone and we're left with Kulak the cooked and his spirit squad

Apparently you f***ing do. jumping in between a convo that didn't involve you. He's gaaabage, I know it burns but it's the truth. Watch this spirit squad take this team to the finals again and brobeans paid $4.5 mil getting careened into end boards with his head down.
