Everyone but the Stauff


Yep get Leo a liney, would love to see us go hard for Buchnevich

Seriously sign him long term this instant

 

[sepHF]

Lavoies skating makes Corey Perry look like Connor McDavid, at least the last time he was in the show.

He'll probably get a look this year, but it wouldve been crazy to put him in the playoffs

 

[TheNumber4]

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.

And foresight. There was plenty of reasons to give Broberg a shot. Those reasons don’t exist for Lavoie, yet.

Yup would far sooner commit long term to Broby than Vinny just based on upside

They are both black aces. You don't know what you get unless you play them

If Lavoie had a bit quicker boots I think they would have given him a shot. I think they will give him an opportunity to take a spot in the bottom 6 in season and go from there

Yeh he’s just not ready. Motor and work rate as well needs to go up a level.

Broberg had playoff game experience and nearly 100 games in the reg season. It's not even remotely close to the same situation. Lavoie will maybe get a shot next year.

 

[CupofOil]

Take some time to figure out what he wants?? Oh **** off.

The guy just played an over 8 month season and a really intense playoff grind with a broken everything it seems. Lets give the guy a break for a few weeks, his impending contract isn't going to effect this free agency anyway. If he does intend on not signing, they'll have all summer to find a trade partner but I'm almost certain that he'll re-sign.

You do and the Oilers did or had a good idea cause they followed their entire development from day 1 on a level none of us here have. If Lavoie was a viable option he would have been considered, he wasn’t.

Not sure if this was posted but lol
Holy f*** are Nucks media insufferable lol

No idea how to post an entire thread if that’s even possible

One had plenty of NHL experience was the best player in the AHL... the other....

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

I could see Draisaitl taking a 1 year extension to match years with Mcdavid

 

[CupofOil]

Yeah he's back 100%. Hope the same from Janmark

Would love to get both on 2 year deals if possible.

That would be a nightmare for the Oilers

It's funny, because their media and the Flames media are such weird homers that I think it has a real impact on the fanbase. At least Flames fans lash out against the homerism at times.

Yes. Longest term possible that he’ll take.

We could really hit it out of the park here if his agent is willing. He’s shown more than enough for us to have confidence in him moving forward. But the stats will not support any high pay days. This is a chance to lock in on the cheap like we did with Klefbom. If we can get a 7 year contract done at this point, I don’t think we can ever go wrong.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

That Drai press conference while not a total rejection wasnt exactly a ringing endorsement.

I want that deal done lol

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

I look at it as a better option of him just walking after this contract

 

[McTonyBrar]

Man I watched all AHL playoffs this year. Sorry but Lavoie is no black ace. What I saw from him was a player who improved on his skating marginally and a guy who just used the powerplay to create his chances. He was no black ace. He needs to have a strong summer of training in terms of skating if he wants to make the team.

I saw way more improvement in Tullio, Wanner and Broberg in the AHL. 10 games in you could tell Broberg was more than NHL ready

Also, Wanner had a great rookie year. Don't be surprised if we see him get some games in the coming year

The pressure that would put on the franchise would be too immense IMO. I dont know how many teams could handle that mental burden and still succeed.

I think it’s just his personality honestly. He’s never going to be rainbows and butterflies.

That and him saying he's re-signing right now would be ridiculous for negotiations. Even if they've got a range in mind, he could lose more than he's willing to give up by saying too much

 

[TheNumber4]

Oil Country is hurting right now. Give us the gift of a Drai extension please. We need it Drai buddy.

Definitely didn't leave me feeling entirely optimistic.
