First.
Still need a backup. Skinner is the #1 and oilers will win the cup with him not having f he’s burned out again
Goalie We don’t need it, as long as Knobby plays Skinners card right , and not let him get tired out, we’ll be good
If oilers go with skinner and Pickard they be out in the first round Holland is wasting the oilers time and 97 and 29 in the Canadian team the leafs and jets will have the better teams
For god sake i am so unbelivebel happy that edmonton didnt took in TANEV i dont want to have him in my team hanifin is a way way better opition
Campbell is our 3rd goalie option in the playoffs, and I am okay with that.
package Buchnevich and Parayko, We shall lift the cup
Need backup , if skinner is like last year against L.A and Vegas were done. I dont trust Pickard and Campbell. Need third line center , top six forward and upgrade on ceci .Alot of need for à suppose to be cup contender
To add all of Buch, Dowd, and Walker the Oilers are moving a lot of futures. I'm talking clearing the cupboards completely for the next several years.
My unrealistic trade scenario & fantasy trade would be to trade Evander Kane, Raphael Lavoie & a 1st rnd pick to Washington for Tom Wilson. I realize both Wilson & Kane would have to waive their ntc/nmc clauses. In Wilson we would get a legitimate rw power forward who does it all imo and his 3 years younger than Kane.
My other trade scenario Ceci & a 2nd (possibly a prospect like Marcus Niemelainen) for Arizona's rhd Sean Durzi.
Watch Vegas get Buchnevich, and we get the left over option.
Remember Ken doesn’t always give the Press everything! Why would he play all his cards in public, it’s no secret there looking to upgrade but he’s has some one looking over his shoulder! You need to be sure that your getting exactly what you need and at this point going all in requires persistence and a sharp pencil!
You don't need another goalie. Jack and Pickard is fine. Trade Campbell to get another top 6 offenseman.
Holland not looking for goalie? disaster. Oil will never win the cup with Skinner, Pickard, Campbell. If the puck doesn't hit skinner, he can't stop it. There should be some accountability for this huge mistake. I agree with other commenter, Oil will be out first round, especially if Winnipeg Jets re: Hollybuck #1 goalie in the league. Another wasted year . . .
“No. I’m not exploring the market at all.”… That's a really troubling thing to hear. You'd assume a GM would be actively looking at all areas for potential upgrades. Of course certain areas are prioritized over others, but you shouldn't ignore any one area.
Hopefully the $25 million dollar mistake steps up & takes the reins??
That's a laugh!!
Stay with Connor Brown and be golfing soon. For every achievement of Holland there have been 3 busts. Why Edmonton ends up with such terrible GMs. Now Jackson will have you live with Brown forever. Laughable to have the best player ever in McDavid and yet ownership and management can not get there act together. You can win with this defense if the forwards commit to playing defense in their own end. If you want to improve this team you need improve the bottom 6 forwards and that starts with the weakest player. Brown needs to go.
