Chiarelli Should Be Forced To Choose Between POHO or GM If He Stays

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

So you're doubling down on your lie?

Your call.

Pitlick has more goals than any of our wingers.

Feel free to refute that anyway you want.

Lucic gets paid Taylor Hall's salary and has 8 points since Christmas.

 

[PBandJ]

You said outscoring.

Scoring is both points and assists.

You got caught being intentionally dishonest.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

Tyler Pitlick AAV: $1M
Milan Lucic AAV: $6M

Score, as in goals.

14>10.

Tyler Pitlick AAV: $1M
Milan Lucic AAV: $6M

Also this. Good Lord.

And now you're moving the goalposts once your lie got exposed.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

And now you're moving the goalposts once your lie got exposed.

Doesn't change the fact that Pitlick has more goals than Lucic despite not playing with McDavid.

Maybe have a gander at that "useless list" you clipped if you want more reasons why this team blows this year.

 

[rboomercat90]

Are you saying Eakins as President of hockey operations?????

Damn, that was supposed to say NON ex-Oiler. Those members of the Oilers brain trust don’t get a lot of rope.

 

[McFlash97]

If Taylor Hall wins the MVP this year and walks up to accept his trophy followed by a great speech, I fully expect Chiarelli to be canned right after. In this case go Hall !

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

LOL, now we miss nothing prospects like Pitlick and Oesterle?

Pitlick and Oesterle have played better than Strome and Russell this year...

Scoring is pretty commonly used as shorthand for 'goal-scoring' in hockey discussions, just saying. It's also very confusing, because yes, the Art Ross is often called the 'scoring race'. Blame bad nomenclature I guess.

Lucic: 34 points
Pitlick: 26 points

Stop lying.

Lucic makes 6X what Pitlick does and only has 8 more points despite receiving gravy minutes with McDavid and on the 1st PP unit.

Here are some other (5v5) metrics:
Lucic: 1.41 P/60
Pitlick: 1.60 P/60

Lucic: 14 Primary Points (0.79 P1/60)
Pitlick: 18 Primary Points (1.20 P1/60)

Even disregarding the caphits I'd rather have Pitlick. He comes with the added bonus of the play not dying on his stick every time he gets the puck.

 

[Stoneman89]

I was thinking he should have to choose between death by firing squad or death by Kawabunga.

And the added risk of exploding every time he's hit.

If only Lucic did that. He's more useful to this team when he's injured and not playing than when he's flubbing passes and missing assignments in his own end.

Didn't sign them from signing Klefbom.

Lucic has been an active detriment to the team this year.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

For Pitlick it sucks when he goes on IR. For Lucic you almost hope he goes on IR.

 

[PBandJ]

Klefbom has contributed to this team in his time here.

Lucic has contributed here, and has admittedly had a bad year.

Pitlick contributed nothing here. He was too busy getting bandaged.

 

[sepHF]

Pitlick and his agent didn't want to re-sign here plain and simple. They told the Oilers they were going to go to free agency

really wish they could have kept him though. He's a nice player when he's in the lineup

 

[BudBundy]

Chia should be forced to choose between being fired into the sun by cannon or giant sling-shot. That is all.

Yup, that's a pretty good comparable. A 2nd pairing guy who can spot into the top pairing if necessary, plays physical, is above average defensively, and gives full effort every shift. That's the type of player every team would drool over acquiring... at the price of a 2nd and 4th round pick. Not for Taylor freaking Hall.

Im sorry what was Taylor Hall here.....what did he accomplish.......and what if I told you he asked to be traded.........no team in there right f***ing mind would trade Larson a 4th overall draft pick for a 2nd and a 4th....stop comparing trades today to ones that happened in March of 1999....

Jason Demers was traded for a 4th liner last summer and he's a better player than Larsson.

Or even from delivering a hit

For starters Hall's the best winger we've had since.... Jesus, maybe Kurri? It's been awhile for sure.

And if he asked to be traded, we're going to need a source on that.

Given Chiarelli's trade record, it's easy to see why Hall was traded. Losing trades is just what he does.

The issue with the trade is that it was a 1 for 1. Larsson is a good player and
He's filled a big need, but Chia should've pushed for more assets from NJ. A couple draft picks or a prospect plus a 4th rd pick.

1 for 1 was just poor value.
