So trade for a player that has looked dead for the last 2 seasons then. I watched a lot of Yotes hockey (because of Gagner) Korpse was the worst player on that club the year Chia signed him. Chia could deal for any bottomsix player, picks korpse
Then saddled Yak to Letestu most of the year thus rendering another #1 pick to the scrap heap. go oilers.
The chance of getting 5EV assists in a season from Letestu is remote due to his passing *ability*.
Team could have stayed the course with Roy, Gordon. Thus Yak still producing, and we still have a 4th line.
Change for the sake of change, not even, bottomsix was arguably worse.
Where does Roy play? In Draisatl's spot?
I'm having trouble finding Roy's stats from last year. Where did he play again?
Roy was on quasi 3rd line with Yak. (I say quasi because with all the injuries it wasn't as clear at all times) Most of the time he was here that's where he was. Having 3 go lines is something that has been modeled by top clubs and no reason not to do it. For an offensive club anyway we may as well have 3 offensive lines and one defensive line.
So Roy plays instead of RNH?
Your centres last year are McDavid, Draisatl, RNH, and Letestu. Who does Roy replace?
And no, last year Derek Roy signed a PTO with Washigton, got cut, couldn't get a contract with a single NHL team, and played in the Swiss league.
Sure sound like the answer to Yakupov's woes, though.
Yaks production while with Roy was good. 20pts in 28GP together and much of that EV.
You asked, and I replied.
Kind of a weird move. If he wasn't good enough to hold down a spot this year he could of just been buried and only would of cost 1.5M against the cap this season and then done. I think we would of been better off absorbing that 1.5 this season rather then the following one.
I guess that's been established hasn't it? Thank you for being the third person to inform me.
I asked where Derek Roy played last year.
He played in Europe. Not a single NHL team would touch him, but you want him on the Oilers third line so Yak might play ok?
I thought you meant last year Roy was here. I should've known you were being sarcastic with the question.
next time I won't respond
I never watched Korpse play on the Coyotes. I watched most Oilers games last season, and he was the best bottom 6 player - better than Cracknell, Gazdic, Hendricks, Kassian, Lander, Letestu, Pakarinen and Yakupov.
Gotta give Replacement some credit here. He took some heat for it but he was bang on about Korpikoski right from the start.
I never liked dealing him for Gordon who I really liked but I didn't know he was going to be this bad.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I respect a fair bit of what Replacement says but he picks players and either hates or loves them with no apparent rationalization.
You mean Arcobello right?

Why does everyone talk about Replacement? I could care less what he says. Maybe these posts are from him using another id.?
Lol, touché.
Arco is an AHL superstar. Solid two way player in the NHL but just too small and slow for his game to translate to the nhl enough to matter.
I take him or Purcell every day over Gagner or Yak. Purcell being the only legit NHL player of the bunch. So far anyways.
I think Yak can turn his career around just think it's highly unlikely to happen in Edmonton.
