Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | The Oilers Biggest Roster Need Is?

[North]

I could do EK at 50%, but I doubt you could get them to retain that much.

I wouldn’t trade for him at 50%. He’s not at all what we need.

Some requesting my onlyfans???

Interesting info: Top performer on OnlyFans is a young and innocent lady who earned $43 million over a year.

Holy shit!!

Any chance a middle aged chubby dude could be bringing in that?

Asking for a friend

Can't wait for Stone to play in this and then immediately go on LTIR until the playoffs. f*** that guy.

question is who after Kane is back is going on LTIR for us?
This our cap year! Were allowed to go 20 mil over the cap on players like TBL right?

She claims to still be a virgin!

I believe Mark Stone is going to start playing tomorrow. He has been out quite a while.

This was just the seed planting. He will go back out come FEB

Me too! Starting to wonder how Me and my wife have these two kids

Finally, only took like 5 replies for you to admit you were wrong. Thanks, I guess.

Maybe go look at my OP, I never said Ceci was great. I said Nurse was the worst (he was, using your own stats) and that Ceci took the brunt of the blame, because it's a lot easier for fans to admit that, than Nurse the most unmoveable of contracts, was absolutely terrible. I said Ceci was fine as a 3rd pair guy, and that if we got someone like Jiricek, a vet in that mould would also be ideal or else we would be thin on the right side if Jiricek failed to fit in by playoffs. Had we been in on Jiricek, we wouldn't have the trade capital to get a great top 4 rental too, so we would be stuck with the Ceci's of the world. Ceci has the benefit of knowing our systems, so no need to give him a bunch of minutes trying to get him to fit by playoffs, and he oddly showed up offensively in some big games which is always a plus. Neither of those show up on your spreadsheets though, so I guess I should have realized you wouldn't get it.

Again, not an endorsement that he should be the top 4 guy, but rather that I would be fine with him as a cheap, failsafe addition had we been in on a young guy who may or may not be ready for big minutes. The only reason I would be fine with this, is because Kulak and Nurse have both looked great, Stecher and Emberson have looked nice too, so our D isn't so much of an issue this year it seems. But that extra depth is crucial in the playoffs.

You need to really calm down, you got so worked up that your now keyboard yelling to go on top of your f*** up earlier with reading your precious spreadsheets.

lol. Ceci is bad.

Dude, you need to calm down. You’re so worked up your last paragraph made no sense. Geez, is that spreadsheet comment a new one? No one has ever made that comment before. You should go on tour with that joke.

Again- Ceci sucked everywhere he played. He is bad.

It's still a big F you to our organization. Some have wondered if it happens if Holland was still here... I know the Wings never forgave Fedorov for his offer sheet. Won't raise his jersey for that issue too. Maybe it ain't 100% logical. They still f***ed us and I've held grudges for much less in Hockey.

Fair enough, but I think the best course of action is just try and win a cup and Broberg and Holloway can wonder what may have been at some point in their career.

I just look at the Dustin Penner offer sheet and the crazy feud it caused between Burke and Lowe, yet in the end it sort of worked out for everyone….

Penner was frustrating, but ok for the most part.

The picks we gave up didn’t turn into a whole bunch. The Ducks traded out of the 12th pick (Tyler Myers) for later 1sts (Jake Gardiner 17th, 28th OA traded for two 2nds that were misses). The 43rd pick was Justin Schultz who never played a game for them, ironically signing with us. The 73rd pick was Kirill Petrov.

Then you have Burke’s biggest grievance - that the Penner OS would blow up the 2nd contract for guys coming out of their ELC. So he ended up ponying up more for Perry and Getzlaf (5 yr deals @ 5.33 mil per), where both would greatly outperform those deals.

Point being, by the time the tables turned where maybe the Ducks could exact revenge for the Penner offer sheet, nobody on either side really cares.

I would like to see 6 shots this period

So she claims. I do not buy it. Reminds me of the purity rings that Britney, Ryan Gosling and Justin all wore only to find out the bumping like bunnies the entire time

 

[Scrapin Ice]

Gotta love Holloway tonight. Playing with Bob Tom and Kyrou. Hope he kicks the doors down the rest of the season.

He sadly would not have gotten the chance with the Oilers.

Nuge, Hyman, Kane, Skinner, Arvedsson, ---The more I look at how the roster was on July 10th the more I understand why Holloway left--Broberg can get stuffed

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

With respect to Chaulk what I feel like our AHL group has generally got better at with him in charge is most players have improved defensively and have improved at managing risk, players we call up rarely feel raw or make braindead decisions.

What I haven't seen improve is players offensive ability or signature/defining skills. In general I'd say the d-men have progressed pretty well under him relative to their skill level and the forwards have only narrowly improved and often stall out. With what his strengths are as a coach you'd almost think he'd be good at turning out the Moreau, Pisani, Reasoner types, but I think the characteristic that is lacking is he isn't instilling a tireless work ethic, if your skill level is a 6/10 your work ethic has to be atleast a 9/10 on a regular basis to make the NHL.

Also our AHL PP% is 8% which is unbelievably brutal, which I think the coaching staff has to wear.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Hyman is back!

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

good

 

[foshizzle]

Stauffers words of wisdom today are the Oilers #1 goal is to acquire a 2nd pair Dman and he said it’s pretty telling that Jeff Jackson said they have to ice the best team possible and do their job as management

At the same time Jackson on the broadcast today (2nd intermission) doing his best to say how good Stu Skinner is. Bob follows it up with the same rhetoric. Rishaug on Nielsen’s show said Skinner makes team Canada. Seriously, there must have been a memo sent out

 

[guymez]

good

Someone is coming off the injury list.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Looks like they need depth scoring… again.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

I wouldn’t trade for him at 50%. He’s not at all what we need.

Were not having trouble scoring goals? He seems exactly what we need. Ryan should be the one being dropped to Bakersfield not Caggiuila.

Management blinders are still on in terms of goaltending.
No chance Skinner makes the team, his numbers are more comparable to a bad back-up than a bad starter.
He's played decent the last couple of games but that's part of the problem, inconsistency. And his bad is real bad.
Tired of the team (and fans) having to walk on egg shells every time he starts.

If a 1-0 lead is too much for this team to overcome then they can hit the links early.
