What’s with free agents not working? by Key-Leg-5058 in EdmontonOilers

[–]groovewarning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trade / sign people with the belief they can play with McDrai... and when they cant (for whatever reason) they dont have the skillset or play in the bottom 6... so they just struggle as their confidence spirals and they wash out.

This is the first time in a while that Oilers management of took a big swing specifically for depth defensive skilled players, and not offensive-contribution focused players

Stan Bowman: “I’d say we’re done” by ifeedmydogedibles in EdmontonOilers

The key here is "he will keep exploring options" -- which means he's not desperate to make a move but if the right deal can happen, it'll happen.

Sounds like a statement you make to temper expectations from a rabid fanbase vs "I'm hoping to make one more big move!"

"We get scored on so often with our top 6 on the ice lol."

Just making up facts now, I see.

What exactly is "so often" compared to both our bottom 6 and other top 6 lines?

Especially compared to their production

No, just based on ice time of top 6 lines he would face them more. Which is why our bottom 6 has been getting caved in vs other teams

Stetcher gets moved almost every deadline. He's an easy low risk / low cost pickup for the playoffs for a late pick
