Did we for sure try for Gibson a couple times this season? That’s a good sign at least, all the talk about cap at the start of the year made it seem like they had a plan. Lately I’m wondering if they actually have a plan, or maybe they’re trying and deals keep falling through.

We were rumored to be shopping for Andersson and Gibson, idk why they fell through but man those two early in the season would have been huge. Would still be nice to get help, but I don’t get why they wait so long sometimes and leave less time to develop chemistry.
Yeah in the summer and we inquired about him before the 4 Nations (Friedman)

Mclennan on Got Yer Back said Oilers needed a big save or two in both of those games this weekend. Kind of left Rob Brown and Rishaug speechless lolol
 
The thing is, our front office isn't stupid. They've been inquiring on Gibson

Depends. If they’re trying to get what we desperately need that’s a good sign. But what’s the hold up? Do the Ducks not want to part with Gibson, does he not want to go? Are we not paying what they’re asking for?

Unless they’re really trying to bend us over just make the deal.
 
Skinner and a 1st for Gibson. It needs to happen now. This year is reminiscent of 05/06, where the team was near the top of the league in nearly every measurable way, but our awful goalies cost us so many games that we had to struggle to get in. Imagine if we had even competent goaltending that we could rely on. If we go into the playoffs with questions in net again, we aren't going to win.

Bowman said he's using the next few games to evaluate. So i'm assuming that's why
 
We have 52 bottom six forwards. Arvidsson has very little value too, another team will be doing the Oilers a favor taking that contract off their hands. Arvidsson is on a 13-14 goal pace, that's lower than Klim Kostin level production here while, Kailer Yamamoto may have the same numbers here stapled to Draisaitl, that's not going to be terribly difficult to do without.

This isn't a bottom 6 problem, we have too many bottom 6 forwards (Arvidsson may as well be one at this point) this management needs to man up and do something significant this deadline, another freaking bottom 6 forward isn't moving the needle.
Yup this is true.

It's funny to see Frank Seravelli and others talk about adding guys like McCarron and O'Connor

Kane Henrique Brown
Perry Janmark O'Connor?
Kapanen Ryan Philp

We have a freaking bottom 12. Podkolzin isn't really performing like a top 6 player this year either so that's another one. How many players down there do you need. This is not the problem on the team.

I know Podkolzin plays with Drai, but he's also a bottom 6 and you can make the case Arvy and Nuge are flirting with 3rd line.

That dose not even mention Jeff Skinner who kind of sucks at hockey, but scores the odd goal

Agreed, was hoping Pod would find more scoring touch, but he's not pissing a drop with Draisaitl, he is effectively a bottom 6 player (another one).

We have like 10 bottom six forwards. And then you have Jeff Skinner who Knob doesn't want to play in the top 6 for whatever reason, so that's what? 11 guys now?

He didn’t mention Schwartz so he’s just another media stooge given their marching orders. f*** off, Toronto.

No one outside of Edmonton knows or cares who Schwartz is. I don't know who other teams have as their goalie coach other than I think Ranford is in LA (?) and the guy in Vancouver that got promoted. I have no f***ing idea who is Florida's goalie coach or Vegas or Toronto or Colorado, etc. etc. etc.

Anaheim had Dwayne Roloson as their goalie coach before

Then he can shut the f*** up. Worthless idiot. Everyone outside of Edmonton doesn’t realize how trash the org is because they hide behind McDavid and Draisatl.
