It's crazy that at times I rather watch Brown and Janmark on the PK than anything else
He hadn't spoken yet when I posted that haha but yeah I think he and Brown both stay.You're forgetting our finals MVP Janmark - stays 100%
Yeh I don’t think Oil country will. Just tough feelings after a tough loss right now, but this fanbase is smart and will appreciate what Kulak brought overall.Agreed. How the frig can you be "mad" at Kulak? The guy was a warrior.
You're talking to a guy who was pissed that Lavoie wasn't dressed in the playoffs.He had 100 points last season...
I swear this place.
Yeah, but he does have a higher history. I bet something like $2-2.5M over 2 yrs, give Janmark a similar deal, imo.74GP 4G 8A 12PTS
Okay. How much should a Brown extension realistically cost. This was my dream all season, to have Brown turn it on late season or in the playoffs. To keep average out the overpaid bonus. It’s actually happening.
Sounds like Janmark wants to be back
Yeh realistically, that’s probably around there. I was hoping for less not gonna lie, but yeh he has established top 6 production on his resume. Janny I love, but I think would have to cheaper than that.Yeah, but he does have a higher history. I bet something like $2-2.5M over 2 yrs, give Janmark a similar deal, imo.
Bouch was lost on that play, he didn't have a very good final.I'm more mad at Bouchard for what I think was him trying to play defence on the first goal. Kulak is a fine 5/6. Solid playoff performer, skates well, local guy. I'd keep him. The only change is to move on from Ceci and find Nurse a better partner.
Yeah he's a playoff guy and the opportunity is great with the Oilers.Take this with a grain of salt as it's not first hand info, but saw someone post on Reddit that he bumped into Janmark, Ceci and Bouchard at the peelers downtown last night. Anyways idc much about what he said about how they interacted with people (apparently Ceci was aloof and in the corner or something), but to me I think Janmark feels he's so much a part of the group and he signed an extension last year before looking around much since he wanted to stay, I think it's inevitable.
He could probably make a bit more elsewhere but not sure how much another $1M for a year would be vs term and familiarity a long with a chance to go deep in the playoffs each year here. I think he lives for the playoffs. Long term would make sense
He would have to take a pretty big discount for me to consider him. I’d honestly rather just move on.Sure sounds like Foegele wants to stick around pretty badly
2-1 game. Maybe it would have been a good idea to play a shooter?You're talking to a guy who was pissed that Lavoie wasn't dressed in the playoffs.
Lots of weird takes with that dude.

Also that story about him and his mom driving home and how amazed she was. I think he loves it in Edmonton.
Fixed.I really hate our mediasometimes
I wanna know how much Black Label you had this morning man. He's useless offensively yet he had 100 points the year before and 67 points this year?Just play RNH in the 3C spot and have him PK. He's useless offensively in the top 6.
An AHL shooter and a complete question mark otherwise. You don’t play that in the playoffs. He’s not ready either. If he was he may have seen time like Broberg did.2-1 game. Maybe it would have been a good idea to play a shooter?
People were saying the same thing about Broberg. He came in and babysat Nurse the whole time haha. If Lavoie plays next season and does well, people will ask why we didn't at least play him in the playoffs when he was healthy and most of the players were banged upAn AHL shooter and a complete question mark otherwise.

Everyone but the StauffFixed.
Knoblauch would like Leon to get some f***ing help.
And the Oilers who knew what they had in Broberg made that call. A good call considering how he dominated AHL competition and has the speed/size to be in the NHL. Lavoie is not that, if he was, the Oilers would have played him, they have no issues inserting black ace contributions if they feel those are viable.People were saying the same thing about Broberg.

We have cap space. Just not 4M for him. Now if he's willing to take 2MSounds to me like Foegele is well aware there isn't cap space for him in Edmonton..
Yeh. Sucks with how he finally put together a good playoff run in the finals. But for me it’s hard to ignore that it came after how many years of complete nothing on that front. Maybe what he did in the finals can be sustained moving forward, but he has consistently disappointed where I can’t believe that.Sounds to me like Foegele is well aware there isn't cap space for him in Edmonton..
With hindsight, slotting in Broberg was a good move. If he knew what they had in him, he would have played him at the start of the playoffs. No difference with Lavoie who is knocking on doorsAnd the Oilers who knew what they had in Broberg made that call.
