GDT: Trade Deadline - Trade Eatin' SZN

[Cloned]

Holland is infinitely smarter than Chia.

 

[T-Funk]

Whats your new line up guys ?

Right now I'd go

Athanasiou - McDavid - Chiasson
RNH - Drai - Yamamoto
Ennis - Sheahan - Archie
Khaira - Haas
(Green 7th D)

Once Kass comes back

Draisailt - McDavid - Kassian
Athanasiou - RNH - Yamamoto
Ennis - Sheahan - Archie
Neal - Haas - Chiasson

If Im splitting up the nuge drai yams line, Nuge is my playoff 3C. A motivated RNH (current spot) is a rarity you don't want to mess with.

Yeah, having both Neal and Chiasson seems redundant.

Definitely need to make an effort to move at least one of them this summer. For the money they both contribute nothing outside of the PP and even then I think that they could be easily replaced in that role as well.

 

[GMofOilers]

Persson was so slow, wasnt going to fit our team

 

[redgrant]

Surprised he didn't move khaira for a pick and try to recuperate one of those that left.

 

[Del Preston]

Dubas is getting destroyed.

 

[CupofOil]

He didn't get a 3C. Fire him.

I know you're saying that tongue-in-cheek but I was really hoping that he'd add a bottom 6 center.
I was hoping for Cousins when Stauffer was speculating that the Oilers were in on him, or Grant from Anaheim. I probably would have chosen one of them over Ennis but just a minor critique.

I completely agree. When all is healthy I think we have to go with....

AA McDavid Kassian
RNH Draisaitl Yams
Archie Shea Ennis
Neal Haas Nygard
Chiasson Khaira

 

[Canovin]

What's going on with Persson? I keep reading people are feeling sorry for him

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Benson reassigned per Holland.

 

[Senor Catface]

Benson sent to the AHL

 

[Sanchez]

Benson sent back down and Russell on LTIR, as per Holland.

 

[3IR]

Likely traded.

Oh? I thought we were done and I hadn't seen anything regarding that. Where's that from?

 

[joestevens29]

Dubas is getting destroyed.

They win a game by 3 in the next week and they'll be praising the guy.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I posted a tweet from Gazola about the Oilers making a minor league move and it was involving Persson

 

[Cloned]

I know you're saying that tongue-in-cheek but I was really hoping that he'd add a bottom 6 center.
I was hoping for Cousins when Stauffer was speculating that the Oilers were in on him, or Grant from Anaheim. I probably would have chosen one of them over Ennis but just a minor critique.

If Chia had left him even 1M more in cap space I can almost guarantee you he would have gotten one today.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Holland already hates the Edmonton media.

 

[Senor Catface]

Surprised he didn't move khaira for a pick and try to recuperate one of those that left.

My bet is he wants to keep warm bodies with our luck with injuries.

I would put money that he makes a body for pick move in the summer.

Tom Gazzola's twitter.

Holland already hates the Edmonton media.

The best thing is he makes them all sound stupid.

 

[AUAIOMRN]

Benson reassigned per Holland.

You can see the skill but the NHL game seems a little too fast for him at the moment. I'm sure we'll see him again.

 

[joestevens29]

Holland is infinitely smarter than Chia.

I eluded to this early when there was talk about signing Archibald and Sheahan. The guy has been very smart at making small moves to fit a system. If he thinks the three guys he acquired today can help make the team better, then my money is on him being right.

 

[Cloned]

Who wants to join me in the ICE district today to break ground on the Holland statue?

Listening to him is SUCH a welcome treat.

 

[CupofOil]

GOAT

Some are easier than others.

Jones can barely ask questions anymore. It's kind of hard to listen to.

Gold from Holland: "I don't just want to puddle around and do nothing."

Almost like he saw what happened here in years previous...
