Edmonton's +/- stats are ridiculously bad.
RNH -9
Hemksy -8
Hall -7
J. Schultz -7
RNH has only played 4 games! :0
The Oilers are the worst for GA, but not even close to being the worst for GF, so it's pretty clear what needs to change. They (Lowe and his gaggle of morons) must be close to making a move for a goalie + veteran defense-man. I don't see how this can go on past October.

One loss away from franchise record for worst start. It already pretty much is the worst start though , since the other two times it is tied with they had less regulation losses.
Edmonton and Buffalo should swap shitty underachieving young "stars". How about a -7 Tyler Myers for a -7 Taylor Hall? Toss in bonus Drew Stafford for whatever you want.

He only has 2 points in past 5 games

Myers and Miller for Yakupov and Edmonton's 2014 1st?
He was so good in that first loss though. So good.
What bolder a move than hiring himself as head coach, promoting Eakins to assistant GM, and hiring Kevin Lowe as GM?

Sabres are bad but they're rebuilding. The Oilers should already be rebuilt.
Canucks are going to lose to the Sabres. I just know it.
Also, Pokemon X/Y is amazing. Near-instant save, EXP share, UI that tells you which Pokemon can take an item, awesome Box features, EXP for captures, the ability to send a Pokemon to the Box when you receive one with a full party,

I wouldn't read too much into +/-.
It's a pretty useless stat; and even more useless when:
- your goaltending is awful at even-strength
- your coach is playing the 1st line (Hall, Hemsky, Nuge) for nearly 40% of the games
Don't get me wrong, Hall and JSchultz have been horrible with giveaways; it's a problem.

What the fuck. Being that into stupid shit like that is not healthy. He should read a book or two about not being a nerd

Microsoft's PR and advertising for the One has been fucking horrid. Are we really going to say otherwise?
They half-baked a console and are getting hammered for it. I don't see how it's hard to see that.

I should make a girl/dating thread in Off-Topic to offset Gaming's stupidity.

Hey, are you planning on buying dual destinies?
Helioptile/Heliolisk can learn Surf. It's fucking badass. Surf&Thunderbolt with high speed wrecks a lot of things.

And MacArthur was running his mouth after Grabovski's first game, saying Grabovski was wronged by Carlyle, and saying "look who was right all along?" ... referring to Grabovski's performance in the first game.

Also who cares about Xbox One vs PS4, I just want the new consoles to get here so MS can start doing more advertisements for Quantum Break!

Makes more sense than Liles and Reimer
Problem is that Buffalo probably doesn't want to give up on Myers just yet
I'm also not sure Miller is the answer. They need a legit number 1 Dman and Schultz ain't it

2 teams whose problem isn't offense swapping mostly wingers. Ironic.

Oilers need guys like Couturier, Simmonds and Coburn.
A legit shutdown centre prospect, a bruising big bodied top 6 winger and a top 4 defensemen who likes to hit and can move the puck when he isn't in lala land..

Nice...the Oilers could be deadly if they can get those guys for Yakupov and Hemsky.
Flyers have scored 8 goals in 6 games. That's a problem.
But I can't see them trading three good players for a young Russian and Hemsky who will be a UFA at the end of the year. Simmonds + Grossmann for Eberle is the trade I would like to see. Unfortunately, Hartnell has an NMC and will be here for another six years so if they want to get a genuine goal scorer on the wing Simmonds has the most value.
Edmonton are also desperately in need of some toughness and defense.

From Oilers board
Tavares
Stamkos
Kane
When you put it that way it looks downright depressing.
The organization is poison.

Well in the year Hall was draft the other option was...Seguin? Its.. hard to really blame the organization, the picks were indisputably considered the "best in the draft".
In the RNH year they could have taken Landeskog but they had just taken a winger in Hall so... choice was pretty clear there imo.
In 2012 yea they could've and probably should have taken Ryan Murray. Perhaps they were looking at it and thought Hall -RNH - Yakupov was gonna be their line of the future idk.
Besides its early, with Stamkos I don't think anyone expected him to do what he has done that quickly, Tavares now has a solid core of guys around him and Kane plays in Chicago with a real good team.
