I'd move anyone except for Subban, AGally and Price to get him. If he actually becomes available, that bidding war will get ridiculous.

It's hard to believe they would take anything less than a top D for Hall, and I don't know any team that would trade a young #1/#2 D for a winger.

You drive a hard bargain

Matt Finn for Taylor Hall straight up seems fair.

Oh wait we'll also throw in a third rounder to sweeten the pot.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

I'd trade Semin for a used condom at this point.

Semin for semen?

 

[Cake Boss]

Fine, Lets Trade DD and Someone Else.

We'll give you Michalek.

I looked at his faceoff stats and he will automatically be our best faceoff guy at 54%. Our best guy is Legwand at 50% with everyone else is under 50% :lol

 

[SpectreFire]

Man, fuck the Kings for breaking the rules and letting Voynov practice with the team to show "solidarity".

What a scumbag organization. There is no way they didn't already see or know about a good amount of that evidence and testimony. They should be forced to eat Voynov's caphit until that contract expires.

 

[yyzjohn]

As much as I shit on the Leafs at least we're not the Oilers.

Big difference in the grand scheme of things when they both miss the playoffs. Having the Leafs in a good spot in December doesn't male me feel any better about the team if they fucking collapse again like last year. At least Oilers can dream of McDavid.

 

[Yawnier]

The Leafs will come calling in the near future (hopefully)

Go Babcock or go home ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Babcock Then. Now. Forever.

McDavid is a bandage on a much larger issue.
The fact is they can draft McDavid or Eichel or whoever they want but having 1 or 2 star players on a team full of scrubs means shit all, look at the Islanders with Tavares and the Lightning with Stamkos.

I owe a lot of the Islanders recent success because of their younger players now stepping into the team to take on big roles, same with Tampa where you have a guy like Hedman, Bishop and some great young forwards to supplement the star.

You can't win with one or two star players and until the Oilers figure out how to draft beyond the 1st round, and properly develop their players - they are going no where.\

At least with the Leafs you can look back and see that they've had success drafting across multiple rounds and the process and thinking here has really changed in the last year, which is exactly what needs to happen in Edmonton.

The Oilers are pathetic, but at least they aren't the 76ers?

Samyy, first, I AM DISAPPOINT! :<
Second, I wonder if they had taken a D instead Yuckapov, they'd be in a better position? Hockey futures claims they have great depth at D...sure as shit don't play it.
They really do need a leader in there with enough influence to force those core players to play better. There's nobody there except for jersey throwing fans to support them.

Personally, I would've traded down for some roster players and mid round picks. And also snipe Boychuk, Leddy, Grabovski, and Kulemin. Hell, grab Stralman as well. They'd be a much better team than they are now.

 

[zroid]

Edmonton is probably going to throw a lot of money at Franson. Dellow will push for him. Need to lock that down.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

2 wins and 21 Losses for 76ers....Wow.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Gino Reda @GinoRedaTSN 37m
My Favorite tweet of the day RT @neekers_92: Since Nov. 9, Oilers have had more press conferences (2) than wins (1).

 

[Sanjuro]

2 wins and 21 Losses for 76ers....Wow.

They might be 3-21 after tonight!

I still hope we can make some trades and free up space for him.

With his better play, we don't really need Robidas...

Either way, he deserves a pay day after the Leafs locked heads with him over contract money the past few years. Dude is a big Leaf fan and to see the way this org and some fans treat you...man...

Celtics better win god damn it. That's the only Boston Team I like. No Offense of Course.

 

[Calamari41]

What garbage-ass piece of horse shit team actually got beaten by Edmonton in that run?

Oh... Sorry, Shorks-Age.

 

[Sanjuro]

Eh, they probably will. They are fun to watch and score a ton of points. They just don't know what to do in the 4th quarter and choke games away.

 

[Yawnier]

So apparently we will have a little under $20M in cap space in the off-season?

I have to imagine Kadri and Bernier new contracts will eat up a huge chunk of that, which doesn't leave a whole lot of room for Franson. I'm really not a fan of signing Franson at $5M per. Might be able to resign one of Winnik or Santorelli for 2 - 3 years and thus, we will be nothing more than a fringe playoff team once again pushed up against the cap yet another year, barring any major moves. Pathetic.

Lupul has to go to be honest

HOPEFULLY they move Bozak as well but you know how Nonis is in love with him

Also Franson is a bargain for $5 mil. He will get much more than that in free agency, he is a fancystats darling.

Can't wait for Malkin to embarrass us like he always does. On national TV, no less.

Oh... Sorry, Shorks-Age.

We lost to the Sharks. Twice.

We crush the Oilers though.

Go figure.

By the transitive property, we actually beat the Sharks after all.

Fleury da god.

 

[Cake Boss]

BAAAAAAABBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYY

HES SO HOT RIGHT NOW

 

[Coldnoodle]

KILL HIM MORROW

KILL HIM

 

[Silexx]

Kaleta is such a bitch.

 

[Cake Boss]

Boro is a fucking monster that is all.

 

[HadesGigas]

Kaleta is such a bitch.

He's probably still not supposed to be fighting with his jaw.

Not that he'd act much different anyway.

 

[Silexx]

Kaleta is such a bitch x2.

 

[Cake Boss]

Kaleta being a turd monster.

 

[Fei]

Yikes, this is as empty as I've seen the arena in a long time.

 

[HadesGigas]

Yikes, this is as empty as I've seen the arena in a long time.

Probably a bunch of people in Ottawa pissed they bought cheap tickets for a game in like February that is in December all of a sudden.

It is funny that it only looks slightly fuller than the game that took place during the snowstorm that they didn't cancel.

 

[Silexx]

Yikes, this is as empty as I've seen the arena in a long time.

This is a rescheduled game. Fans who had tickets had the option to get credit for another Sabres game instead.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Every goaltender looks like a fucking vezina winner against us lately.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I seriously hope if McJesus lands on the Oilers he does a Lindros and just never reports to them.

Nobody would fault him for doing so.

Every time I see Patrick Roy, I am reminded of the time in the late 90's when he skated out for warmups at the Pond and just kept going full speed off the bench, slammed into the wall on the opposite side, dropped like a sack of bricks, and missed the game after having to be carted off the ice. I have no idea why that happened, but I'll be god damned if it wasn't one of the best hockey-related moments of my life.

Holy shit.

Voynov

I feel sick.

Ducks recalled Bryz.. omg is he gonna play tomorrow??? PLEASE!!

Barbara is going back to Norfolk, Bryz is up and staying.

Shades of 2007.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Fleury too good.

 

[zroid]

Is Ted Nolan the next coach to be fired? He's ruining Tim Murray's plans...

Ah right right. This isn't Florida bad, but it sure doesn't look good for TV.

 

[Reminiscent]

Penguins look so fucking sad right now.

Only player doing anything is Fleury.

 

[HadesGigas]

Kaleta being a turd monster.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

He seems to be implying he's difficult to coach, but you can't blame the kid for being frustrated with all the shit he's had to go through. Meanwhile Seguin has a ring and is living the life in Dallas.

He knows what it takes to win.

Tampalol

[DopeyFish]

i find it funny the crowd took so long to realize it was a breakaway

 

[ZeroGravity]

DROUINNNNNNNNNNNN

This Pens/Tampa game is a fucking cringefest.
