If the owner is calling them like that, he isn’t happy with their body of work.

Shitty owner that spent years hiring old Oilers to hang out with, then threatened to move the team if the city didn't cater to his demands. What a standup guy.

jj peterka? No, the best i can do is 32 year old 4th line winger
Ya it's tough.
Really wish we had the likes of Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg or Ottawa's ownership instead.
Empty threat. Everyone knows he knows he's not moving the team. Now to present day. With high rising cap era, do you want an owner like Katz or the owner of the Flames who will be capping the team at 90M for the next 20 years?

Why are those the only options? Prior to McDavid this was the worst franchise in the entire NHL.

Give it a rest. Your “shitty owner posts” are always so dumb.
I’m glad Katz is making sure our management is active.
Comparable market comparables. Varying degrees of erratic, poor and/or incredibly cheap among all of them. AND they ask their cities for money which offends you.
Our budget in the context of the poor exchange rate is massive, and save for Vancouver (maybe) our guy is the only one in that group that will continue to empty the wallet.
Katz hired the same guy that brought the Oilers to the finals?
Also, the bad mixed of 1st overalls we had. If that was Crosby, Toews, P. Kane type draft, no one would be complaining.
I hope that 20 times a day always involves mentioning to trade for a f***ing goalie.
That doesn't surprise me at all. Holland by his own admission was about as passive as they come in terms of trying to upgrade his team, the Ekholm trade happened because there was massive pressure from ownership and the players. Katz wants to re-sign Connor and get him a cup, so I'm assuming he's pushing pretty hard for them to do something.

Daryl himself isn't getting any younger and has been dealing with significant health issues. No way he's a patient man at this point.
I'd definitely prefer if he would personally interfere a little less but you can't accuse him of not caring.

The most frustrating period for me as a fan of the Oilers was when it was blatantly apparent that Tippett needed to be moved on from, but Holland just would not do it.
It took Katz calling him to the carpet when we were in LA for Holland to do the obvious. If he didn't we might not have made the playoffs that year.

If Katz has to call his employees to keep them active then maybe he should find new ones.
And Holland left us with a bunch of trash and no prospects. There's also several other picks the Oilers missed out on, something that has plagued them for years.

Like the annoying kid on road trips “are we there yet?”, “did you get a goalie yet?”
20 times a day would mean, did you trade 20 players aside from McDrai?

C’mon.
Not even. I mean he’s not even the worst in Alberta ffs.
Then you have Buffalo, Vancouver, Carolina, Dolan in NYC, Chicago, and so on.

Not sure why they would trade him
I’d like to see the Oilers go after some german talent like him or Reichel

Sometimes miracles
I think it's because he is due a raise in the offseason, and they might want to save cap for other kids coming up. Maybe even Byram.
Though I found it odd as well.

Honestly if I was the owner I’d be calling them 30 times a day right now to do something.
