Sadly, this group doesn't have a good enough 12th F in their system. Woody should go back to 11-7, and utilize his "strong spine" where he has 1 of the big 3 on ice at all times at C and run:
97, 29, 93 down the middle with the wing pairings as:
Nurse if you see this why don't you just try to score goals instead of defending? You have a better chance of getting a few in this season from the blue line than making proper defensive plays consistently.
9.25M, one of the worst in the business. Darnell "it takes a better collective effort" never takes accountability, a duty inherent to his salary. He can't even defend well… his mobility and speed are not only overrated, they're bad. If being out of position and unaware were desirable attributes, then yes he would deserve 9.25M, maybe more. It would take a GM like Barry Trotz who didn't hesitate to cut off and buy out players at the core of a losers' culture.
Let's go Nursey! They boys need you now more than ever, and there's no reason you guys can't get right back to how you played last year near the end of the season. Go Oilers!
Darnell just needs to play his game he is an Established Top D-Man in the NHL and we can already see Opponents targeting Eckholm knowing if they can get him ground down they have a better chance of winning. Its a long long season….just lift your head up above the clouds to lighter fresher air and keep on plugging. I do not make my evaluations until the 25 game mark. : > )
Bench Bouchard! Am i the only one who saw his disinterest vs the Flyers? No intensity. No desire. Aceept it Oilers – some draft picks fail. Move on. Broberg.

Already know people will be chirping him in the comments when he's actually played well this year so far.
Good person 👍🏼 but not worthy 9mil… oilers could have had more guys but this guy has that contract 😏 LGO
He’s not worth 9.25 mil
Imagine starting a playoff series 1-3…
Not good enough boys.
