This is the best roster on paper the Oilers have had since the 80's.

Gotta admit , Gustafsson was a solid pick up for Calgary.

But they’re not winning anything with that forward group :laugh:

Hopefully Neal doesn’t score another 2 goals before the season ends so we keep our 2020 3rd round pick.

Then try and pawn off Pulju at the draft for a second round pick and we still have picks in the first, second and third round.

Admittedly, it is a bit disheartening that Calgary got Gustafsson for a 3rd, and we might be paying Green a 3rd if he plays in enough games. Other than that, everything went wonderfully today.

Off topic question, but is there another site anyone uses for days like this? This website is completely unusable during the most exciting hockey days when I wanna discuss things the most.

I tried the oilers subreddit which is basically dead, but that's all I could think of. I'm just refreshing twitter and telling my wife all the trades while she sighs and says "that's nice dear"

If Green is getting a 3rd, that means we are in the WCF, which is DAMN worth a 3rd Round Pick. I wouldn't really harp on that really.

The best thing IMO is it gives them the option to reunite McD and Drai.....and Athanasiou has also played C this year (i think).

But obviously the idea is to have one of these guys click with McDeezy.

Ken Holland has done an awesome job with the Oilers thus far. We still have asset Jesse Puljujarvi as well.

Now I'm not getting ahead of myself... the players still need to gel and play well, but at least he has upgraded the roster without giving up a lot.

The Oilers give up the third if they make it to the Conference Finals (and Green plays half the games).

I will gladly walk that pick all the way to Detroit if that happens.

Good moves Holland!

I was just browsing r/hockey on Reddit for a bit.

There’s always CP ;)

The oilers sub reddit has a lot of traffic tho?

Only one of those 2 players can actually play defense and it's not the Swedish guy. I like Green in this spot because he'll be a positive veteran influence, which this team was still very much in need of.

Get a hockey wife, one that you specifically have for discussing hockey with.

Calgary needed players that were tougher to play against and speed

they accomplished very little today

SN saying Markstrom needs a MRI on his knee and could be out for a while.

Has Holland had his post deadline media avail?

AA - McDavid - Ennis
RNH - Drai - Yamamoto
Archibald - Sheahan - Kassian
Nygard - Haas - Neal
Chiasson, Khaira

Klef - Larsson
Nurse - Bear
Jones - Green
Benning

Holy shit.

Pretty sure Kass would be playing with McD since McD likes him but we probably will give Ennis a go to see how he plays with him. Though yeah Holland made the best possible deals he could have and he didn't overpay too much. Good sign.
