I’m no analytics guy but I’m guessing this means Nurse/Emberson were good?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Is it playoffs yet?

I think like a couple more months. But it will be regular season for that time at least.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Is it playoffs yet?

No, flames fans are too confident

Opening night lineup

Looks like they want to accrue as much cap as possible by going with 12F and 7D.

If Dermott is signed league minimum and once Jarventie can be sent down that would be approx $1 million in cap space and accrues close to $4.5 by deadline.

Bringing up a $800K forward drops the cap space to around $200K and accrues to around $1 million around the deadline. (all these estimates are rounded)

It's risky to not have that extra forward around plus having to play Ryan and Perry every game.

Might they not go 12 and 6 on the long weekends to accrue every last drop ? If they sign then waive Dermott they stand at 12 and 6 until they recall a player.

Opening night lineup

So after a month the opening night roster is exactly as predicted by basically everybody…lol

 

[FlameChampion]

So the whole preseason was pointless. Roster was decided before we began.

Hopefully someone gives Lavoie a shot. The Oilers don’t want to.

It always has been like that unfortunately but Josh Brown is an example of playing yourself off a team

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Josh Brown not good enough to make the team and treated like it. Good on the team.

I would just ask to be traded if I was him TBH

Yeah exactly. Pretty much exactly what people thought. Not really surprising though, given the state of the team.

He is one injury to a winger away from the NHL though.
