I saw a lot of him with the Leafs living out here. I can't say I watched a lot of him since he left so how he has been defensively over the last few years I can't really comment on.
I see St. Louis used him on the pk.

Sometimes miracles
Sure, but Josh Brown serves NO purpose at all, he shouldn't be here, so you can NOT go into LTIR and try an player out in a position where you could use him.
Took a pill in Sbisa

I'm more curious which media member Number4 is to interviewing Campbell enough times to know

Hyman been such a failure this year
Nothing Hopkins again
Two blatant calls trip to RNH and crosscheck to skinner to lose possession ignored
I can see why mtl gets alot of pps. Crowd whines like crazy
Oil also still refuse to break pucks out with support. Everybody loves flying the zone
Too many fly bys on the fire check too. We throw it in and stop up instead of hitting their dmen
Easy outs for Montreal

Gazzola says he's heard its gotten to the point where the Oilers may just have to make a drastic move on their defence quickly

He signed here to sit on McDrais back. He thought his status quo would be enough to get by. Terrible hockey intensity. Absolute one trick pony and his hands are pretty shot too at this point.

It is so crazy that Jeff Jackson looked brilliant on July 1st with all of the signings, and then later with the McLeod trade, and now in the early goings, it appears everyone of those transactions was a huge mistake. I was one of the many that applauded pretty much every move.
I will say that I found the Skinner signing strange though. It never made a ton of sense. I mean, it appeared to be a bargain for a guy who can score like he can, but for a team looking for the final piece of the puzzle to win the cup, prioritizing signing a guy who has never played in the playoffs in 14 seasons seemed like a strange target.
In the end, Skinner was a massive mistake, as it probably cost us Broberg (or at the very least, Holloway).
I also have no idea why we didn’t have Kane get surgery at earliest opportunity. If they wanted him to come back in season to get back into game shape and not gain year long LTIR cap space, then why wait so long to decide.
In hindsight, JJ pretty much butchered the off-season. What a turn of events.
I still like the Arvidsson signing though.

This team and room need a shot in the arm to have any hope of getting out of what looks like a tailspin in the making. If that means paying a bit more now than in 30 games then so be it. Bowman deserves to be bent over for putting himself in this position so f*** it, make any and every future available.

Since we might be talking to Dubas maybe Schwartzy is trying to get us to pick up Jarry?
Oh ffs!
It's going to be funny when Nurse doesn't mesh well with Petterson and the Oilers resort back to the Kulak-Nurse combo that actually works and Petterson ends up on the 3rd pairing.
The whole "find a partner for Nurse" thing as far as I'm concerned looks pretty well resolved, you had that player all along (Kulak).
Darnell Nurse prior to the Toronto game had 7 points (2G, 5A) and was a +7 in the 8 games prior to getting hurt. How much better do you think Darnell Nurse is gonna be?
Forwards and goaltending need a bigger shake up.

Ludicrous speed, GO!
They could squeeze him in at 50%.
I don't mind the idea of Pettersson, though I feel like you could get better value going after a smaller name like Dumoulin, who checks a lot of the same boxes.
Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-Kulak
Dumoulin/Pettersson-Emberson
Hell, get me Dumoulin and Gibson out of Anaheim at a reasonable cost and I will be a happy man.

The D has been fine, until Nurse got hurt even his game was turning around. The main problem was the PK, but that is getting better.
The offense is bottom 10 in the NHL and tied with SAN JOSE for goals for.
Let me say that again, the offense is tied with SAN JOSE. And the Sharks don't even have Celebrini.

This is it, RNH and Hyman are non factors and again everyone not 97/29 is underproducing. Our PP is baffling but iI believeit will come.
