[94 Oil Drops]

This makes me mad every time it's brought up. Ugh.

Me too. Meanwhile Calgary can fluke into drafting a guy like Wolf and the Sharks can pull a trade out of their butt to get Askarov. Meanwhile, Edmonton is the NHL's largest goalie graveyard and Dustin Schwartz is a mortician.

I hope Philp keeps progressing and is given a serious look.

In time I think he gets some consideration. But unless there's a key injury, I think he spends the rest of this session in Bakersfield. In regards to Skinner, I think he needs to be playing with a center who has some offensive instincts.

 

[McDoused]

Of course Rico and Arvidsson both show up tonight after I have them 2 and 3 on my trade list. Hopefully both can grow into their roles before the playoffs start.

Yeh no way Skinner is moving. And the Oilers ain’t dumping him.

Can we dream?

Can we dream?

I’d rather dream he finds his scoring touch. Cause we could use it.

Kosko played for a worst team, sure. So let's look at GsaX, and I know you love that stat. Same years from before:

Kosko:
-6.8
-10.2

Stu:
+6.8
+2.0

Okay- nice job of picking out stats. Props. Skinner is better than Kosko - but Kosko was a backup. What I find interesting is that Stu seems to have hit his career best already and has been getting progressively worse.

Skinner:
2024/25: -5.9
23/24: 2.0
22/23: 6.8

We definitely didn’t pay Kosko to be a back up lol.

Well I have a theory on that, but no one wants to buy it if they are in Anti-Stu mode. Do you honestly think Stu has gotten worse though? Ignore the stats for just a second. Go purely off eye.

If only we would have drafted that sure fire stud goalie Wallstedt

Oh wait

Don't get me started--I tossed my toys out of pram when that traded happened and Munzenberger comes out of uni this summer. We have until August 15th to sign him or we will have traded Wallstedt for nothing! If you were on this site when the trade happened and the Wild drafted Wallstadt--you may remember my rants--

Munzenberger is a legitimate prospect with the way he's been playing this season. Bourgault was turned into Jarventie and Podkolzin, too. Also, Rodrigue, who would've been splitting development time with Wallstedt is having himself a pretty decent upward trajectory himself and probably isn't far from breaking into NHL minutes.
