The Oilers are still horrible

[bucbrett]

I'd love to see him with the Ducks or Kings. Look what the change in scenery did for Cogs.

[deepdrive]

I would put Gibson in a package for Hall.

[Butcher'd]

McDavid is a helluva hockey player. Edmonton's only hope

I don't know if I would go Gibson, since we have seen after Anderson it gets really iffy.  Definitely would start with Etem though.

As were Sam Gagner and then Taylor Hall. Rinse and repeat.

Rebuild 3.0- THIS TIME WE'RE SERIOUS.

McDavid is a much much better prospect than both of those guys. Best since Crosby

[bucbrett]

I understand completely. But if the Oilers win the lottery, they'll rush him as they have all the other kids and our Little Army of Patrik Stefans will continue to spiral downward in an infinite cycle until the entire house, from management to scouting is cleaned.

They just beat the Kings somehow.

[bucbrett]

Sutter's complaints about Scrivens' stick tape in the shootout was hilarious. Good debut for Derek Roy and it's nice to win once every dozen games or so.

[Tank]

the oilers did not look like a crappy team last night.

[bucbrett]

Scrivens was fantastic last night and it seems to have carried over to tonight in Calgary through two periods, at least.

[bucbrett]

Oilers trade David Perron to the Penguins for a 1st round pick and Rob Klinkhammer. Every time an Oiler gets traded or fired, I feel exactly how I felt when I was a child watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer when Santa comes and takes the toys on the Island of Misfit Toys and finds them a good home.

[bucbrett]

Congratulations to the Leafs on snapping their losing streak. NOBODY out fails the Oilers. You hear me, Leafs? NOBODY.

[Angel Oracle]

I guess the Kings got their revenge on Tuesday night for the earlier loss to the Oilers.

It was ugly until the 2nd Oilers goal.

 

Calgary has moved on up.   It's time for Edmonton to start doing the same.

[bucbrett]

I sincerely hope these idiots don't luck into a lottery win. McDavid going to this hellscape of a franchise would be terrible for hockey.

[gotbeer]

I'm sorry Brett.  Really I am.  

[NJHalo]

Brett, what do you think Edmonton could get for the McDavid pick?

[Angel Oracle]

That Kings game was just plain bad. As one Oiler said, they played like a juniors team.

[gotbeer]

[Thomas]

Man, Toronto can't even win in tanking.

[bucbrett]

Brett, what do you think Edmonton could get for the McDavid pick?

 

I shudder to think what Lowe and MacT would do in that situation.  A big forward has been their white whale for years, bordering on obsession and resulting in using early picks on dudes like Mitch Moroz.  So, Lucic, an autographed Tuukka Rask stick, and some leftover Kessel jerseys would likely do the trick for those idiots.

[bucbrett]

I'm sorry Brett.  Really I am.  

 

Thank you.  I too am sorry.  Sorry I chose this franchise because ESPN showed them all the time when I was eight years old.  Tail end of the dynasty.  In 1990, at age 9 I thought they'd be in the Finals for life.

[nando714]

Please just suck for 1 more night Oilers

[Angel Oracle]

Last night should at least bring a smile, Brett.

They kicked the Kings butts all over the ice.

[CanadianHalo]

Oilers win the draft lotto

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Like of course they do
