I just read they are

Can you pass me a link to Where you read it? I can’t find anything on their website. This isn’t like the covid where I need sources , I’m just genuinely curious so I can read it too

Still not understanding why he was re-signed

Seattle fodder

I'll get my friend that does deepfakes to make a couple Clint McDavid gifs lol

Russell is a good option for 7th Dman.

He's also stands as the "bar" that our younger kids on the blueline have to clear to make it onto the roster. He's overpaid at $4mill, but at $1.25 for a season he's fine. Probably even "tradeable".

I can understand we need an extra D to meet the expansion draft requirement but Russell has always been overpaid. 4M to be a #5 D which is one of the reason why we couldn't ice a contending team for years. 1.25M is also overpaid to be a #7 D. That extra money could already been used to extend RNH

Rishaug was terrorizing all the player interviews yesterday by talking with his phone down his throat.

Pumped for game 1! Hope Bear and Jones are ready for a full year of top 4 D ice time!

Thanks for this.
Larssons goal diff against Elites is better than Barrie's but it looks like middle competition just eats Larsson alive lol

Barrie's looks like he gets better with lower competition, Larsson almost gets worse? That's odd lol

I guess maybe Larsson plays a simpler and more physically punishing game against elites because he's really focused on shutting them down (which he's quite good at) but doesn't know what to do with the extra time and space against middle comp? I can see Larsson choosing to play more physically against the opposition's top players, and he's at his best when he's physical.

????????

Have you been living under a rock? Oilers made it clear he is for Seattle. Oilers need to expose a D

Unless Klefbom is far more injured than we know

Oilers are protecting Klef, Nurse, Jones and Bear

my guess it will all be for naught as Seattle will take Lagesson is the oilers have to protect him

I threw up from excitement this morning!!!!
lets go!!!!!!!!!!

Are you pregnant?

We are going to be better this season - a lot better. Starting lineup for G1 in 2019-2020 season was largely AHL quality after the top line and RNH to be honest and bottom 6 was -26 last year.

Opening Day 2021
Neal McDavid (one leg) Draisaitl
Nygard RNH Kassian
Khaira Colby Cave Josh Archibald
Granlund Haas Chiasson

Klef (one arm) Larsson (broke leg in 1st period)
Nurse Bear
Russell Benning
Smith

Opening Day 2021
RNH McDavid Kassian
Kahun Draisaitl Yamamoto
Archibald Turris Puljujarvi
Ennis Khaira Chiasson

Nurse Bear
Jones Larsson
Koekkoek Barrie
Koskinen

We've come a long way in 15 months. I prefer Ennis on L3 and Nygard/Haas on L4 with Nurse/Barrie and Koekkoek/Bear but that will come in time. By the end of the year if we get another goalie and Ennis/Archie are fighting for 4th line minutes we will be a contender.

My spidy sense is flashing that James Neal's commitment to be a solid NHLer again lasted one season. The guy seems to have arrived late (why?) and out of shape (why?) and clearly wants to be back in Nashville (his own words in a recent Nashville newspaper article). He might be buried on the taxi squad and then bought out next summer if anyone jumps up and grabs tbose bottom 6 LW jobs.

 

[Louis Cypher]

5-2 oilers
CMD 2
Drai 1
Barrie 1
Jesse 1

Just in case someone has a crazy idea...

You have to understand who else was on the ice with Larsson when playing middle competition last year. That would be Sheahan, Khaira, Archie, Haas, Granlund, Nygard, Chaison, Cave. The results are not surprising.

 

[yukoner88]

Still not understanding why he was re-signed

Probably for A: depth and B: someone to expose in the expansion draft

 

[Talonted]

Awww yea baby! Time to make the main board mods earn their pay!

 

[bellagiobob]

 

[Mav3rick07]

The Canucks no longer have Markstrom, Toffoli and also now Miller (injury/Covid).

No excuses, gotta come out of tonight with 2 points.

Can u remind me which one. I’ll look it up

Are you pregnant?

Hey, my wife just gave birth today to our daughter earlier this morning. Now I have snipes jr and snipesette jr. Wasn’t going to mention it but this was one of the first things I read on HF after the delivery. Serendipitous I suppose.

Her being born on Connor McDavids birthday and the day the NHL returns is a sign from the hockey gods.
