Are you the Oilers Report guy on Twitter?

I don’t have Twitter haha. Must just be a great minds thing.

I say 2. Everyone else has been traded to the Leafs by tomorrow.

Joe Malone and someone else can’t remember his name in 1921/22

Punch Broadbent.. who can forget that guy.

(Everyone I guess).

21/22 was a helluva year for the Ottawa Senators.

1921/1922 that is.

That’s the one thanks. I had heard of Joe Malone before so that was easy to remember.

Seems like a good guy. Welcome to the Oilers, big boy!

He seems like a leader.

Is there an updated trade bait board somewhere?

 

[Soundwave]

If they're not going to do anything else major, I wouldn't mind Zach McEwan for peanuts.

 

[McWeber]

He's a late round pick who is gaining traction with elite size, skating and two way defending game a couple years into pro development. Virtually no prospect defensemen jump directly to NHL. Said already, he's not a prospect I'd throw away for a sub $1 million UFA journeyman to shave $500,000 off.

This team will need trade assets picks and prospects going forward. I'd have preferred to continue Kesselring's development and utilize him for a bigger move or even nurture into a prospective bottom pair NHL option. Still need to grow your prospect pipeline.

It feels like we rarely trade prospects but when we do they become serviceable NHLers. Often times because they want out anyways like Marino and Reider but Chiarelli made it rain picks for other teams failure prospects. Kostin has been a rare win on that front. I agree with your take on Kesselring, what we gave him up for equates to much less value than I place on that particular prospect.

What did your source say, Speedyturtle 2.0?

Let's just say we are standing pat most likely unless we are blown away and its dependent on Yams health

Speedyturtle, Tony...

I don't know what to call you anymore.

 

[jlockhart89]

It's really not a lot of worry at all. I like the prospect more and feel his value is higher than a throw in for a UFA journeyman player and saving $500,000. I appreciate your concern for my sense of worry but you're the guy who was doom and gloom on Broberg's selection with such off the wall anxiety of writing off an age 21 high pedigree two-way defensemen. We'll both be fine, honest!

No where has it been stated the Kesslering was thrown in for retention. Maybe Kesslering was the difference between it being a 3rd and 2nd?

Least Bjugstad showing more ethusiasm about coming here than Brassard did :p

Brassard was such a waste. Good for a few games then seemed like he couldn’t care less to play. I wonder if they poked around a bit to see if both Ekholm and Bjugstad had some enthusiasm to come here

Chiarelli was an absolute failure that strip-mined this team's NHL roster and struggled to build up the prospect pipeline. I have more trust in Holland who made his bones as a scout and managed an elite, sustaining Wings team.

Kesselring I just views as having more currency as an asset than rounding down the Bjugstad deal. Include one of your top system prospects as an add-in to a bigger core type trade versus this situation for an end of roster specialist UFA.

My source tells me that Arizona has secretly been researching senzu beans.

Expect Voracek, Little and Weber back next season after spending the summer training in 100x gravity chamber.

[AddyTheWrath]

so who's left to even move? who's the biggest name still out there

I had high hope for Brassard but it seems he never wanted to be here and couldn’t wait to bail.

... Nostradamus-level prediction...

Oilers reach the Cup Finals ripping through the West like a hot McDavid through a NY Rangers team... before finally meeting the powerful and vaunted Bruins in the Finals... where a devastating series of injuries befalls the Oilers and going into game 7... the Oilers call up Cam Dineen who fires a blast from the point at 19:07 of the 3rd OT period to score the SC winner assisted by Nick Bjugstad.


5D Chess moves by Holland.
