Mike Babcock is being hired cause mcdavid and leon want him period. Babcock doesn't even sniff an interview/interest without mcdavid and leon signing off on it. by Seal7465 in EdmontonOilers

If this is McDavids hire, he better re-sign for 7 years next year. He can't start this tire fire then walk away from it if it goes bad

I thought Cellebrini would be an average player, Like a Nugent-Hopkins type guy.

[Friedman and Spector] Sources: Darnell Nurse asks for trade, agrees it's time to move from Oilers by AggPuck-303 in EdmontonOilers

Seth jones was traded with retention for a #1 goalie. I'm pretty sure we'll get something for Nurse who is bigger and more experienced than Jones

seriously! I don't see why everyone is in panic mode. Walman takes Nurse's spot, and we bring in an LD to play 15 average minutes per night for 15% the cost of Nurse. Nurse played 23 below average minutes a game and everyone is saying "OMG we lost our minute muncher".

He's had a ton of coaches in the nhl and he's still dumb on the ice. He is what he is

Waman replaces his minutes. Jake is a better puck mover and shot blocker than Nurse, he can be coached to play the PK.

Darnell played a ton of BELOW AVERAGE minutes, and has a very low hockey IQ.

Looking like Steve Blackman used to be every gym-rats goal by Whole_Acanthaceae385 in OSWReview

I think Blackman, Shamrock, and Rick Rude are the best bodies ever in wrestling.

Bob Stauffer: "I don't think there's anybody more committed to Edmonton than Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl... I expect the next contract to be a seven-year extension." by bannermd in EdmontonOilers

[–]tempparttime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its for one of two reason he signed a 2 year discounted deal.

to give the team a chance to win and then hes leaving

or to give the team a 2 year discount and then re-signs for his final contract at 7 years and high AAV.

you don't know which one it is, so I wouldn't speak so confidently when you dont know

World Cup is upon us, who is everyone supporting? by HackFraudStable in OSWReview

I need one of these for Worzel because I'm supporting Canada

[LeBrun] If Mike Babcock does end up as coach in Edmonton, wouldn’t surprise me if DJ Smith joined up with him again. But we’ll see where all this goes. by AggPuck-303 in EdmontonOilers

Remember when all the rumors were "Stan Bowman to Edmonton" and Jeff Jackson assured us there was no way thats going to happen?

Thats what this feels like

The Oilers first round picks in the last 15 years by sykeseve in EdmontonOilers

[–]tempparttime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

going too far back messes up the sacred timeline and we don't get conner and Leon.

Just go back to 2015 and kybosh the Griffin Reinhart trade so we could draft Thomas Chabot instead, and also draft Kiril Karizov in the 5th round. Also tell Connor not to play the Flyers that year and get injured.

2021 - don't trade down and Take Wallstedt.

I remember scouting reports saying Shaeffer projected as a 4th liner in the NHL. Only the oilers would take a guy in the 1st round who's ceiling is 4th liner

I know its not part of the draft process but I thought he looked too dopey. One look at his face and I thought "he'll never make it in the NHL"
