Rumor: Trade Rumors & Proposals Thread | No More Pacifism For the Oilers?

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
So who still thinks a 2nd + throw-in prospect for Blackwood was still too much?

We were 6th best in GA not that long ago, then the goalies started continually shitting the bed and the team's entire defensive structure has fallen apart.

You get what you deserve if you want to keep f***ing around with two back ups in net, congrats, you've cratered the team's confidence.
 
This makes no sense, so just dumb shit posting then?

Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard are not good enough and need to be replaced, regardless of the cost.
Ya regardless of the cost. That makes sense.

It's posts like this that show how ineot Oilers fans can be. No matter what the cost....the way this team is playing and then they get tossed out first round or maybe second round with Vejmelka a rental and then they are hamstring for the foreseeable future and can make NO UPGRADES at the trade deadline next year when they are stronger (because they have zero assets) after correcting their mistakes made in July 1
 
I know lots of people think this team is showing it’s age but I think that’s bs.

They’ve played a lot of hockey (no excuse) but a lot of it has been them trying to come from behind after their shit goalies put them behind.

That shit gets tiring for any team.

Yeah, the old and slow stuff was all fine and dandy until they looked dominant until February (and coasted to the break). Now that excuse is back on the table

Shit goaltending is the primary issue, everything else looks worse because of that.

Let's be frank, the team's best bet to win was last year. I don't really care about the future at this point because there isn't a future for this team. The instant McDavid thinks about greener pastures is the instant this franchise is toast.

If you can't win with talents like McDavid and Draisatl, then there's no hope for you. Period.

I won’t blame him. He’s been here for 10 years. And yet, we still don’t have a top 4 RHD, no starting number one goalie, and no top 6 scoring wingers. Same shit; different management. Utter f***ing disgrace.

Well I think the team has to ask itself then, if getting say a Jordan Binnington is what puts you over the top for getting McDavid to agree to sign an extension on July 1 ... you might at this point just be better off paying whatever it takes minus Savoie.

Because you need to be able to show that he has a window to win here, he's won with Team Canada with Binnington, it's easier to sell then that he could win here too with Leon and Binnington.

There's no chance he's resigning with the tandem we have now IMO. Why would any top player invest their remaining prime years on this tandem, no one is going to do that.

You can officially mark me down as jumping off the Klingberg train. I was all for the trial and hoped for some magic. But he’s depth at best. He can still move the puck but that’s about all. At least it sounds like they want to add to the blue line still.

Doesn’t matter who they add to the blue line when the goalies will still suck ass if they don’t change the goalie

I won't blame him either. The Oilers have always seen him as an instant win button and put in the absolute bare minimum effort to build a winning team around him. The team around him sucks and it's not like we have a bunch of prospects waiting to take the next step either.

McDavid and Draisatl do a fantastic job of covering up how poorly this team is run.

No goalie acquiring = Im f***ing done with this season lol.

A bunch of us are in the same boat. I’ve committed to not watching the Oilers at all for the rest of the season if they don’t acquire a goalie by the deadline. I’m pretty confident that they will miss the playoffs if they don’t acquire one.

Even if they make the playoffs, they’re done in R1/R2. This tandem isn’t going to take them anywhere to the Stanley cup. f*** the management and media for believing that stupidity

The team also had a great chance to win in 2023, but, you know...Stu.
