Who's ready for Jeff Jackson to pull a Bob Nicholson? "If [Arvidsson] scored 10-12 goals we wouldn't be in this situation blah blah"

"We have the players, we need them to produce more" BLaH BLAH BLAH

Heads deserve to roll in the management if this is what happens from now to the end of tomorrow.

Either they got the wrong players and they suck, they got the right players but they just have awful chemistry with our entire group. Or the coaching staff is doing a terrible job at getting them going with the roster.

It’s a problem either way and it needs to be addressed by replacing the players or f***, replacing the coach? One of those is easy.

Is it still catastrophizing if it’s actually a catastrophe?

I think yes, but I'm not sure.

I am usually pretty patient with trade deadline and am willing to wait and see....but I feel like its going to be a huge nothing burger for the Oilers this year.

Been like that every year. Its always a half assed approach. The Ekholm addition was great. Other than that, its always a unfulfilled feeling. Then the GM talks about how they wanted to give the guys a push and they went all in.

We kind of knew this which is why they were targeting a depth D. There probably isn't a top 4 like Provorov available, which is they went down the Klingberg path.

There is nothing we can do if top defensemen are available, but there are forwards available.

There's still time to get our Jarred Smithson.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Bowman better have a plan. Maybe he does but he needs to wait until the off season, but I’m leaning towards firing his ass. Enough of these GMs past their prime.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

This might be the most boring trade deadline in a long time.

Though it's not good enough on it's own, they've still done better than that this year.

We will have f*** all for cap next year. Our entire gained cap is going to Bouchard and Drai and almost all our forwards have NMC lol. This is our chance, next year is only going to be worse.

Just checking in on all the trades the Oilers have made.

Kovacevic, Nemec?

I think that's some bad speculation.

Trading a 2nd+ for Dumoulin and then trading away a better defenseman doesn't make sense.

Max Jones is playing tonight.

I think you think they believe that, I think they believe Dumoulin is an upgrade there lol.

Honestly even if part of a plan was executed it would be something. With the way McDavid is playing this year, is there something wrong with him? Injured? We don’t know the answer but they do. Maybe going all in isn’t smart. But can still make deals and fix holes now or for the future or move out contracts or collect assets.

Meanwhile we are trading assets for rentals. Don’t get me wrong, I think the team could use someone like Frederic. Maybe they resign him. We will see what they do but I hope we see some smart GM’ing in the next day.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Kovacevic, Nemec?

Minor upgrades and depth players. We do probably add a depth D like this.

I'm saying there is probably no top 4 legit difference maker out there like Seth Jones.

I wonder if they are expecting to re-sign Frederic? Seems like a long shot, but if he does well and likes it here, could be

There is something funny about the first player we get from a trade was a guy who was on waivers earlier.

Yeah I edited my post. It could be fine.

McDavid: "I'm confident that management will do their part and get us reinforcements"

Management: "The answer is in the room."

I want to laugh and cry at this lol.

Apparently, he signed a long-term contract. He isnt going anywhere

Ah, that explains their interest.
