Yaremchuk thinks Lane friggin Pederson will breakout for Edmonton
I doubt it with Pederson as well but I do think it kinda sucks that we don’t even know what hes capable of. Is he capable of being a 4C?
On one hand its good that we didn’t have a ton of injuries last year. But it also feels like with this team, that guys continuously don’t heal up when they get injured. They just keep playing through it. I hope we are starting from a hole in October/November/December again.
This team doesn’t use its farm system very well. Hopefully under Jackson it improves.
Doesn’t sound too hyped up to be going to Vancouver but gotta love the dunk on both cities that he does haha

Likeable player. Too bad we couldn’t find a way to keep him over Josh Brown. Good for him getting somewhat paid though. Similar to Kostin, I think he had to.

Beat me to it. He’s serviceable at the NHL level. He’s proven that. But he needs to be put in a position to succeed which hopefully he won’t be in Vancouver.
The reason he was drafted where he was and passed by many teams, despite his skating and skill, was his complete reluctance to get his nose dirty and play in the tough areas. That has been the knock on him since juniors and continues today. I don’t see him changing.
On the defensive side- we saw this playoffs that he struggled at centre- especially as the games got more physical. KK saw it too and shifted him to wing to take off some of the defensive pressure. He also doesn’t provide enough offence to be a 3rd line centre and doesn’t provide enough physicality to be a 4th line centre.

Same. As soon as that clock hit zero. Didn't look at anything hockey for at least a week, probably longer. Didn't even know that Connor won the MVP until way down the road. I will never watch rat boy lift the cup.
Same. I was on my honeymoon in Thailand and had to listen to it on NHL radio. Had my sister record the series. Still have the VHS cassette of that entire final.
I was at a full moon party and there were a few girls with glow in the dark paint 'go Oilers go'. It was great, until game 7.

Setting up the 14.5 so when he takes 14, we will rejoice how great it is lol
I can say something I heard. I have 100% faith in what I heard but I don’t want to get people’s hope up in case I’m wrong

How true. I’m still thinking that anything under 13.2 is considered a home town discount. I don’t think that’s likely though. 13.5 seems reasonable for both sides to me.
It’s about what was posted above. It’s already done. It’s just a matter of when to announce it

Rumored Holloway at 1.3/ 2 and Broberg at 1.1/ 2. Not bad contracts.
Personally I would have been shocked if Leon left Edmonton and I will be shocked if Connor leaves as well. Leafs and Flames fans can screw off.

Account actually putting itself out there a bit with this tweet giving a time frame for Holloway and Broberg contracts.

I’ve never thought he was leaving. But I always thought he would get paid.

I never fully opened the tweet when I first saw it. Not really surprised by the Kane news. I didn’t think he would go on LTIR. Guess he is just going to play through things. Hopefully I am wrong but I don’t think this is going to go well for Kane and the Oilers.

I’m guessing if he needed surgery he would have already gotten it done. Often don’t need it with his type or injury, time and physio does the trick. Hopefully he’s back to his old self this year and can stay healthy, with a healthy Kane I fully believe we would have won last year.
Then no need to believe me lol it’s fine. Why even respond if you don’t believe me?
I’m just posting what is pretty obvious by this point. Leon is already signed. It’s a matter of when to announce it.
Does that sound as wacky as Hall building a house?

This right here is why people like him. He seems like a real person, and the Canucks fans will like him as well. Wish him all the best, and happy for him earning some life changing money.
Guys in his income bracket and opportunity situation (not far removed from being an AHL guy) need to take the money when they get it. I don't bemoan these players for taking the money, they owe it to themselves and their family.
I would gladly take Klim Kostin back at the trade deadline this year no questions asked. These guys don't want to leave here, but they can't be turning down like double the pay it would just be stupid on their part.
