So.. Edmonton has to be the favorites coming out of the west, right?

If Edmonton would be the favourites from the West, it would be a pretty brutal demolition in the finals. It's such a flawed, weak team. 4-5 teams in the east would easily beat them, at least. Probably 6-7.

Yamamoto has been a MUCH, MUCH better player then Gaudreau has been this year. Gaudreau vanishes when hits are thrown and is quite possibly the worst playoff player in the NHL. Yams is the type of players who step up in the playoffs, Gaudreau is the opposite. Would not be shocked if he already asked for a trade quietly, he obviously does not want to be there.

Current standing would indicate that making the playoffs is far from certain for the Oilers. A thread like this is at least a few weeks early for any team at this point.

Same here. I assume it is. But still not 100% sure

It's a clown thread for sure.

Its also listed as an article. Can anyone make an article or is it only available for site sponsors?

If it's a paid benefit that would explain why some posters can troll with impunity.

Edmonton is going nowhere in the playoffs.

They are a 1 line team and teams like St Louis and Colorado will own them.
They literally have 2 only good players it is ridiculous. Proof that if you suck for a decade and keep getting #1 overall picks you will be rewarded.


If they don't get at least a couple cups with those 2 it would be pathetic.

So every team? There aren't many cup winners at all that haven't drafted high at some point. Also I love people who keep bringing this up yeah they are are two most important players (you know before this it used to be just we only had one player) but let's ignore the massive contributions Yam made when he came in (we were a sinking ship before then) or that our defense has been decent this year or yeah Mike Smith tonight. Though yeah if we lost both our top centers we would be screwed amazing observation.

Also Jets fan don't be salty over a thread that was made literally by a Leafs fan to troll us lol. Can this thread just get closed already?

This just in folks, take the best players off a team and they won’t be nearly as good. Great insight there bud! Maybe calm down and stop posting until your done crying over the huge loss your team just took.

Edmonton will be out within 5 games of the first round if they make the playoffs.

Without Drai And McD their team is so bad.

They should be happy to just make the playoffs.

I mean we are if they do. I am plenty happy to just make the playoffs. Though I mean buddy we have actually played decent against St Louis and Colorado. The West is wide open this year you just have to come in hot and we have been playing cold recently they just go to find their rhythm again.

Smart teams will contain Drai and McD and shut the Oilers down with ease in the playoffs.

Not impressed with the Oilers at all and they are not contenders.

The formula seems to be working. Play your 2 Lebron's 25 minutes a game. Whenever neither are on the ice the game plan is to just not get scored on and wait for the 2 best players in the world to score for you.

Who knows if it will work in playoffs, I can see them winning a round if Smith is hot.

It's amazing how stupid fans and analysts still drool over top end talent like it's the NBA. Depth is the way to go. McDavid and Draisaitl won't contain all 4 lines of the opposing team by themselves.
