Barrie’s game has fallen off a cliff. There’s a reason he was on a PTO.
And the other 3 mentioned as options were just too good for PTOs?

Probably in their own minds.And the other 3 mentioned as options were just too good for PTOs?
I'm willing to give him 20 games to prove he can steal games for this team and not just lose them because of his shit play. There does need to be a backup plan which I don't think we have.Said it before, saying it again and yes it is a hill I am prepared to die on. S. Skinner is not the guy who will backstop this team to a championship. You can’t rely on hoping to get “good skinner” on a game to game basis. The defense has holes too and it’s another vortex of mystery. We’ll see what kind of patience Bowman has and what he does to manage the cap.
At this point two of those three might be somewhat useful with Nurse and allow us to play Emberson with Kulak who I think would help him to grow his game.
Nurse can’t do that.
Man what I meant was WHEN Barrie was on EdmontonBarrie’s game has fallen off a cliff. There’s a reason he was on a PTO.
There is no way, no how we should be saddling Bouchard with Nurse.Nurse - Bouchard
Ekholm - Emberson
Kulak - Shattenkirk/Giordano
That's probably what I would run. Even though Giordano is old, he is the best one defensively.
But you said Nurse would be better if we had Barrie playing with him.Man what I meant was WHEN Barrie was on Edmonton
Then that was my mistake. What I meant was the last top 4 Dman Nurse played with was Barrie and he was decent with him. THAT time, Barrie was a top 4 Dman lolThere is no way, no how we should be saddling Bouchard with Nurse.
But you said Nurse would be better if we had Barrie playing with him.
Why not? Having Bouchard on his pairing will force Nurse to manage the puck less. If Bouchard can't be effective without Ekholm, they need ro seriously reconsider giving him big money.There is no way, no how we should be saddling Bouchard with Nurse.

I already gave up with Nurse figuring it out. All I'm saying is give him the best RD on the team to try and reduce his mistakes. That's why I'm pairing Ekholm - Emberson together, because Ekholm can cover for him.Nurse is a disaster, you don't give him more minutes. I'm starting to agree with Cloned, they should put him on the 3rd pair and tell him to figure his game out.
I think most posters on this site have arrived at the same conclusion that you have.Said it before, saying it again and yes it is a hill I am prepared to die on. S.

this is why Edmonton will be in some real trouble if Ekholm ever goes down for a stretch.Why not? Having Bouchard on his pairing will force Nurse to manage the puck less. If Bouchard can't be effective without Ekholm, they need ro seriously reconsider giving him big money.
Another team also out a claim in for him in this latest go round. In order to send him to Bako which was always the goal he had to go back on waivers.This organization is so bad with young players
Serious Question.
f*** no to Kneeordano. Yes to Shattenkirk.
He stole (kept us int he games) 2 of them by my count last year.I'm willing to give him 20 games to prove he can steal games for this team and not just lose them because of his shit play. There does need to be a backup plan which I don't think we have.
Giordano is COOKED. Hell no please.Another team also out a claim in for him in this latest go round. In order to send him to Bako which was always the goal he had to go back on waivers.
Serious Question.
Aside from his Calgary time and reputation, which player best fits? I seriously don’t know, just asking…
That literally made me laugh out loud.f*** it, sign Kneeordano and play him alongside Nurse all year long as punishment for him taking out Connor's knee.
All joking aside, Jultz can't be any worse than what we have after Bouch on the right side can he?
Broberg another assist tonight. Watching him play.... And how good he is all over the ice makes me question what the flying f*** Oilers management were thinking when they played Vinny over Broberg last year until the playoffs
Nurse - Bouchard
Ekholm - Emberson
Kulak - Shattenkirk/Giordano

Just sign Shattenkirk already. Should’ve been done a while ago.
