After **3** games, relax everyone !!McDavid: 2 points and minus five after three games.

If you look at all cup winners, the one thing every cup winner had was a good team defence with a really good defence. Edmonton doesn’t have thatWhere they find the cap space to sign Bouchard is another story. I’d laugh if he signed an offer sheet.
Lots of skill up front, bottom 10 D core and Goal combo. Not a great cup contention mix.
I rather zadorov at 5 mil. Bigger and tougher and higher IQ, while being almost 50% cheaper while signing his contract when cap is going up.Zadorov at 6 or Nurse at 9. Both are bad.
I would call them the 'cup or bust line'They should put their 3 youngest forwards together and call them 'the kid line'.
Draisaitl-Mcdavid-Podkolzin
It's hard to believe there's a team with only 3 forwards under 30 and those guys are 28, 27 and 23. I guess the consolation is they're loaded with top prospects, The future sure is bright lol
Nurse is a top four D man. Zadorov is a bottom pairing guy who finds himself in the press box every season. Both are bad. I guess Zadorov is the lesser of two evils because he’s paid less.I rather zadorov at 5 mil.

Nurse is a top 4 dman in the AHL. He would not be a top 4 Dman even on Canucks who have a thin bluelineNurse is a top four D man. Zadorov is a bottom pairing guy who finds himself in the press box every season. Both are bad. I guess Zadorov is the lesser of two evils because he’s paid less.
Nurse is paid like a top 2, plays like a 5/6.Nurse is a top four D man. Zadorov is a bottom pairing guy who finds himself in the press box every season. Both are bad. I guess Zadorov is the lesser of two evils because he’s paid less.
Yep, i think i would have him just below DeharnaisNurse is paid like a top 2, plays like a 5/6.
I agree with thie wholeheartedly.
I'll just add why some of us Oil fans type these things.
The second a team scores on us and we go down 1-0 the same posters come out of the woodwork
Drai is leaving
Connor is leaving
Nurse can't play in the NHL
Skinner is ECHL
Oilers are the worst team in the universe
Bouch is ECHL
They have no chance of making the playoffs
Like the comments are damn near instant.lol
That's why we write shit like 'this happened last year'.lol
But yes, trying to replicate last year is a bad idea.lol Czech goalies Vladar and Mrazek are undefeated against us on, most likely, non playoff teams. That is not good.lol
If there's a team stupid enough to sign him to an offer sheet, the Oilers should take the picks and cap space to put towards bringing in defencemen capable of playing like NHLers in their own zone. Getting something useful for a guy like Bouchard who belongs in the ECHL would be a big step towards bringing some respectability to their blueline.Where they find the cap space to sign Bouchard is another story.

Bouchard belongs in the ECHL? He may not be great defensively but that’s quite a reach.If there's a team stupid enough to sign him to an offer sheet, the Oilers should take the picks and cap space to put towards bringing in defencemen capable of playing like NHLers in their own zone.

Until he decides to attempt to learn his position, that's the appropriate place for a defenceman who can't play defence.Bouchard belongs in the ECHL? He may not be great defensively but that’s quite a reach.
My hunch says we are about to go 0 and 4 here.lol
Our normal is 0 and 3 so not much.lolWhat is changed from normal to make you think that?

A lot them round up to 27 except for 09-10 blackhawks.
Our normal is 0 and 3 so not much.lol
But Podkolzin in Top 6 (after showing very little) and Nurse with his 3rd D partner of the season so far (in 4 games).
Line blender in full effect
Also put Mcdrai together... Not a fan after signing all those vets.That's what I thought, I was looking at it and aside from Nurse-Stetcher, which is unfathomable for any "contender" it just looked the same.
Stetcher was still used as a bottom pairing D on the Canucks in the Benning years.
