Ken has another Canadian college free agent to scout probably, no time for addressing his NHL roster.

Holland has to clear cap to run a proper roster, expecially with the flu going around

 

[Soundwave]

We gonna call up Desharnais today or what? We're only playing ... uh some team named Colorado next, are they supposed to be good? How many players miss more than an entire week due to the "flu"?

Idea, trade for a guy like Bryan Little out of Arizona (maybe with Bjugstad) and ice a full roster. That would be cool.

No idea. To call him up we have to waive someone by noon, but because the game is at 1pm tomorrow, we wouldn’t be able to call him up to noon tomorrow so I don’t know if we are technically allowed to. I think all we could do is assign Broberg to being up Desharnais but I guess we will know within an hour here. My money would be on no.

No rush Kenny. We're securely 1st in the Pacific, so we can afford to let Colorado eat our lunch on the PP next game. PK and defending the front of your net is overrated anyway. Amirite?

That isn't how LTI works. Little would only be beneficial to us if he was acquired for equal money we were sending out. Doubtful that they're in a rush to trade him, too. I'd assume that it's a contract that helps them hit the cap floor and it's probably insured.

The only reason the Oilers give up PP goals is because Vincent Desharnais, PK God, isn't in the lineup.

Ahh, good to know. Okay fine Holland, this isn't as easy as everyone thinks. lol

Ken Holland is failing this team horribly. I would argue Desharnais + Holloway are not only significantly cheaper than needing Yamo + Pulju in the lineup, but they are both more impactful. Especially Desharnais.

This is an abject failure any way you look at it. Highest paid GM in the entire league is sewering our season while we're on the brink of being out of a playoff spot. Hello?

Holloway is a nothing player at this point and if having Desharnais out is “sewering” the season then this team should draft top 10 this year

Which GM picked Holloway again?

He needs to not wait until the deadline. We are 5 points out of being #1 in the West

It hurts to think of these OT/So losses and sh** game against MTL

 

[Darkwinter]

Nothing to back this up besides my own feelings.Can't help but think a trade was made but fell thr at the last minute a few days ago. After the press conference sh** eating grin on woodCraft and the media not knowing what's going on made me think a trade fell thr

What an asshole of a schedule. Play in Edmonton Friday night then play in Denver early Sunday afternoon.

Calgary is the only real threat left and they're 6 points back. Nashville is also running out of roadway to catch Edmonton (11 points back). Everyone else below is out of it. Edmonton is also three points out of first place right now.

But I do agree he can't wait until the 3rd to pull the trigger. That said, he can't control what other GMs do with their players and force them into an earlier trade.

I like how just repeating back Holland's actions is considered a slur. That should tell you something about the person you're stanning for.

What are you even talking about? We were talking about how having Holloway out was a travesty and I said Holloway isn’t much of a player right now and his response was “hurr durr who drafted him”

But yes. Me, I’m standing for Holland. Reading comprehension escapes you doesn’t it.

Well which is it? You can't have it both ways- either Holland f***ed up by making yet another underwhelming selection in the first round, or he's mismanaged the cap to the point he can't dress his best players. There's no "moving the goalposts" there. It's one or the other.

And it remains a complete mystery as to why you'd continue to debase yourself like that, but you do you.

So imma go with no reading comprehension. Cheers.

They're also on the brink of being 1st in the division. Does that mean everyone above them is on the brink of being out of a playoff spot?

Judging by some of the shit my kids and co-workers have had, it's not uncommon this winter to be flattened by a bug for a week or so.

I got the stomach bug last Saturday and today is the first day I've had a decent appetite and didn't feel like a sac of poop. Can't imagine skating hard with that.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

As fun as Patrick Kane would be, I don't know how anyone watches those last 2 games and thinks "this team coukd use even more offense. Maybe someone who isn't great defensively!"

A high end dman with term, preferably Karlsson, has to remain the focus here
